Works great
I wanted a sander that could be used to refinish my coffee table, which had nick's and scratches. It took about four hours to sand it all. Two sections were too narrow for the sander to fit so I did hand sand those. But the scratches/nicks are gone. Plan to use boiled linseed oil for a natural look. There was little vibration with the sander and it was easy to hold. BTW, I am in my early 70’s and this was an easy sander to manage! (Included the finished table after refinishing with boiled linseed oil and polyurethane finish)

I like how quiet this sander is compared to other sanders I have used. Typically I use hearing protection while sanding but with this one, I dont have to.

I also like how smooth the operation it. I do a LOT of sanding and my hands get pretty tired from the vibrations. This sander, however, does a pretty good job of reduction the hand vibration while still making this an excellent sander.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feels so GOOD!
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024
Style: Sander with Soft Carrying BagVerified Purchase
So, I have had my box store orbital sander for over 10 years and it finally died. Probably not a bad thing since it vibrated so much when I used it that my elbow would hurt after extended sanding. Just got the Bosch today and OMG!...Quite and feels like butter! I fell in love in like 30 seconds. Great price and great sander. Uses the standard hook and loop disks you would use on most 5" sanders. I also like that you can hook up a shop vac to the dust discharge to keep the dust down. If you use the supplied dust collector, it works, but may not reach into hard to reach places. Overall, 4.5 Stars.

I purchased this sander partway through an extensive garage renovation. With built-in wood cabinetry that had been neglected for years, I began sanding the frames and doors using a traditional orbital sander combined with a sheet sander I had previously purchased. After some challenges and additional research, I decided to purchase the Bosch RANDOM ORBITAL sander. I quickly realized I had been missing out and should have started the project with this tool. The results are far superior to the other two sanders, and it is much easier to use, with superior results. In addition, the dust collection on this tool is superior. While the dust bin isn't necessarily easy to empty (I use a vacuum while opening), that challenge doesn't take away from the superior qualities of this sander. When combined with the "Rockler - Dust Right FlexiPort Power Tool Hose Kit with Click-Connect, 3' to 12' Expandable Hose", also sold on Amazon, you can tackle large projects while connecting the sander to your shop vac using the included connector. Best sander EVER!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dont listen to those bad reviews

UPDATE:
While I still really like this sander, the dust canister no longer stays on the sander. I do not know if somehow the rubber o-ring is worn down or the plastic lip in the canister. I will try to find a similar o-ring from a local hardware store to see if this fixes it or not but as it stands right now, I have no dust collection on my sander. Lowered a star as a result.

I was apprehensive purchasing this sander because of some of the other reviews. I had the previous Bosch sander, the 1295DVS, and it died after a few years (but with few hours of use.) Looking at the other ROS in this price range, I decided to go with this one and so far, I'm glad I did! Most of the bad reviews are people complaining about the pad not gripping the sand paper. Hooks are definitely smaller than the 1295DVS but I'm having NO ISSUES keeping the paper in place. Only thing I can think of that would cause others problems is the use of cheap sandpaper. I use Gator paper which not only sticks to the ROS good but it also lasts a real long time (from Lowes.) I've also used Freud paper which held well.

Dust system is as advertised - much better than any bag attachment. The canister is not hard to take on/off; it is a snug fit but that's what you expect on something that collects the amount of dust it does. Make sure to empty frequently.

Low vibrations means that you can sand for much longer before you get that tingling in your hands. Positioning of the air vents and the length of the handle means you got good and comfortable spots to sand with both hands without covering the air vents.

While it would be nice to have the variable speed switch in a different location, it's not often you change your speed while sanding so it's location is sufficient.

Worth the extra few dollars to get the hard case. It stores well and allows you to store the ROS on its side in the case meaning you won't warp your pad or flatten your hooks while storing it on its pad, extending the life of your equipment.

If you're in the market for a new ROS then don't hesitate in buying this one, you won't regret it!

Easy to use, accurate, powerful. Dust collector is good when held normally, but if using on a vertical surface it tends to leak. Recommendation: hook it up to a vacuum.

This is my 2nd that I've bought, and it's not because I needed to replace a broken one lol. I swapped out my old sanders at work/home because how efficient it is. With the speed control, amazing dust collection (I'm not always to have my hose connected), ease to clean filter, and price - it's worth every dollar. Lol I might buy two more just in case they discontinue it at some point. My first 1 is few years old with well over 500 hours on it and it's just a good still as the one I just bought.

*Also it can take a beating! I don't recommend throwing it around garage to test it out though 😂 But after more drops to the ground then I can count, it's never failed.

Built a pantry tall enough to require a ladder with this sander. It handled everything like a champ. Wood, epoxy resin counter tops, even drywall repairs all came out perfectly smooth. Used the variable speed more than I thought I would. Worked well with 3m xtract and Diablo hook and loop. When this one finally gives up the ghost, I’m getting another just like it.

I bought it to sand some maple live edge I'm using as window sills big enough to put plants on. Maple is hard wood so it takes a bit of time but it has worked well, leaving no swirl marks. I bought it along will 100 sanding pads which have been great because you have to slowly go from course to fine.

This is my first random orbital sander and it gives smooth and efficient sanding. The handle is very comfortable to hold for long periods and it's very lightweight compared to sanding with my multi-tool attachment.

The dust collection system is very efficient and it had reduced my cleanup significantly. I still wear a mask but this really does its job well. The cover is a bit hard to remove though so be careful when cleaning or else you'll have fine dust everywhere. I wish the canister was a bit larger but I do like the option to use my own shop vacuum.

Overall, it's a solid choice for DIYers like myself
