Best Power Disc Sanders of 2025

“I recently finished sanding my ceilings with this sander, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. I built a stand to hold it for overhead work, and it worked like a charm. We managed to sand a thousand square feet in just three hours! I thought it would take much longer and be exhausting, but it was quite the opposite. The dust collection was impressive, and I had zero issues with the tool."

“Having run my own painting company for over 20 years, I don’t usually promote products unless they truly deliver. I took a chance on this sander for a rehab job on a 1930s plaster-walled house, and it has already paid for itself! It made sanding both small and large areas much easier. I only had to do minimal hand sanding in corners. The time-saving benefits are undeniable, and the dust control was excellent.”

"I do a lot of building and drywall work, and this tool has been a game-changer for me. It keeps the dust to a minimum, which is essential when working inside next to a bedroom. It's easy to handle, sands smoothly, and collects dust effectively. Even though I used my HEPA vac instead of the bag, it still performed excellently. I highly recommend it!"

"As a DIYer, I find this product to be a 10-star tool. Sanding sheetrock used to be a hassle, but now it's fast and almost dustless. I connected it to my shop vac, and the results were professional. It can get a bit heavy during ceiling work, but the overall performance is outstanding. I suggest getting a long hose for the shop vac for optimal results."

"I'm really pleased with this drywall sander. The suction is impressive, making cleanup a breeze. The adjustable speeds are fantastic, and the LED light is bright, helping me see everything clearly. Although it can be a little heavy after a while, the overall features and performance make this tool a great investment for DIY projects."

The LED light is a fantastic addition, helping me see fine details even in low light. The vacuum attachment effectively minimizes dust, and the included accessories like sandpaper and gloves are a nice bonus. Overall, it's a powerful, user-friendly tool that made my sanding projects much faster and cleaner!”

“As a DIY'er, after hand sanding some walls for repainting, I decided to try an electric drywall sander. I picked the Populo due to its high ratings and built-in vacuum system. It performed exceptionally well in smoothing out the walls. The vacuum system exceeded my expectations, successfully capturing nearly 100% of the dust! The lighting system was also impressive, making it easy to spot areas needing extra sanding. I highly recommend this product for drywall sanding.”

“I found this drywall sander to be a lifesaver for my sanding projects! The built-in vacuum attachment with drywall dust collection bags simplifies clean-up, keeping my workspace neat. The 810W motor offers ample power, and the six variable speed settings allow me to customize the sanding speed easily. The LED light is a brilliant addition, providing excellent visibility in dim areas, making the task much easier.”

"I recently completed sanding my ceilings with this tool. It managed to tackle the difficult pull-textured plaster and transformed it into a knock-down texture. I built a lift stand to help with the overhead work, and I was amazed to finish 1,000 square feet in just three hours! The tool worked flawlessly with minimal dust thanks to the strong shop vac I attached. Overall, a marvelous investment!"

"After 20 years in the painting business, I don't typically endorse products unless they impress me. This drywall sander has already paid for itself during a challenging rehab job on a 1930s plaster home. It significantly reduced my hand sanding, and even though it weighed 12 pounds, the time saved was worth it. I managed to do 3 to 4 times more work in the same time!"

"Overall, it's a great deal and an efficient tool. It significantly reduced my work time."

"I find it ideal for drywall jobs, as it leaves the surfaces nice and smooth."

"This tool works well, but it does get quite heavy after some use. I recommend ordering sandpaper, as it's a bit tricky to find."

"I bought this about six months ago, and unfortunately, the part that holds the sander disk broke during my third use. I didn’t return it because it wasn't worth it for me. The first two uses were great for sanding the ceiling quickly during a repaint. It really saves time, but I wish it were made from stronger materials."

"I can't seem to find the brushes for these sanders at all!"

"I find this tool to be a must-have; I wish I had bought it years ago! The vacuum worked great, and sanding was quick and effortless. I managed to tackle ceilings and walls, removing popcorn ceilings with ease while keeping the dust contained."

"This product saved me a lot of time and effort in removing mold and mildew from the shower. It works as advertised and is very easy to use."

"I find this sander to be incredibly useful. I use it for squaring rough wood pieces and sanding leather edges, and I’m impressed by its power and speed. It's also surprisingly quiet compared to my other sanders. I highly recommend it!"

"After setting it up, I was pleased to see it squared up my wood blocks easily. It’s affordable and quiet, but I do notice it needs a shop vac attached due to the fine sawdust generated."

"I was excited to try the 12” model based on positive reviews, but I was disappointed. It took too long to spin up, vibrated excessively, and the sanding plate had significant runout. I’ll have to make modifications to use it effectively."

"As someone who enjoys crafting wooden flags, I found the DEWALT Rotary Sander (DWE6401DS) to be a game-changer. The variable speed settings let me adjust intensity for different tasks. The dust shroud significantly cuts cleanup time, keeping my workspace tidy. I also love the ergonomic design, which makes sanding a lot easier on my hands."

"This DEWALT sander is a workhorse. It has plenty of power, and the variable speed control is invaluable. I really appreciate the dust shroud that keeps the workspace cleaner than other sanders I've used. Overall, it's a solid tool built to last."

"I finally decided to purchase this tool after getting tired of belt sanders. The adjustable speed dial is very convenient, and it’s much easier to control than a belt sander. This tool strikes a great balance between price and functionality. Now, instead of dreading sanding, I'm actually looking forward to it!"

"This worked great for what I needed. The dust capture system did an excellent job collecting dust. I managed to sand both painted and un-painted walls, and having several types of sandpaper was very useful. It saved me a lot of time overall, and I would definitely recommend it. The LED light was particularly helpful for ensuring the walls were smooth."

"I purchased this sander to remove popcorn from my ceilings. I found it very easy to assemble without needing the instructions. I was ready to go in under five minutes. The sander and dust catcher worked well, but I had to buy additional sanding pads for heavier grit. While it does have some weight, it was manageable to hold and move around during the job."

"This drywall sander is fantastic! The vacuum system does a fantastic job of keeping the area clean, which is a significant advantage. The LED light is incredibly useful for working in darker spots. The extendable handle made it much easier to sand both ceilings and walls. It's powerful and does the job exceptionally well—totally worth it!"

"I think this is a great product. It's priced right, and using a drywall sanding harness saves my arms and back. As a contractor, it cuts my time in half and helps me earn more money!"

"I've found that sanding jobs go very quickly and are nearly dust-free. This product is a great investment for the money!"

"I purchased this a couple of months ago for patch jobs. While I appreciate the value, it broke after just a couple of uses. It still spins, but it stops working when I put it on the wall."
