The 5-inch size is perfect for maneuverability, and it's incredibly easy to handle. The dust collection system is exceptional, keeping my workspace clean. Overall, this sander provides outstanding performance and reliability. I highly recommend it!"

"This is my second Dewalt oscillating sander. The first one lasted over 20 years! The new model is easier to hold while in use, and the speed control is very handy for smoothing finishes without taking off too much material. The velcro latch system for sandpaper is convenient, and the attached dust collector does a good job. I hope this one proves as durable as the last one!"

"I looked at many options for sanding my kitchen cabinets for a project. After comparing for 5 months, I chose this little unit. It's lightweight and fits perfectly in my hand, doing a perfect job. I can use it for hours without fatigue. It doesn’t dig deeply into the wood and removes old varnish smoothly. I'm very satisfied with my choice!"

"I recently got my hands on this orbital sander, and it's quickly become one of my favorite tools for woodworking.

It's truly an excellent investment for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals!"

"As a novice DIY'er, I used this sander to tackle my backyard fence. It was incredibly easy to hold and lightweight. I appreciate that it comes with sanding discs and has a great dust collector attached. I’m excited to use it for future refinishing projects!"

"Having recently purchased the DeWalt 20V Max Sander, I'm thrilled with its performance. The power of the 20V Max battery makes tough sanding projects manageable, and the mobility it offers is incredible. The ergonomic handle is a bonus as it keeps my hands comfortable during extended use. Highly recommend this durable and efficient tool!"

"I opted for this sander after having a good experience with DeWalt tools. It's easy to use, works well with universal round pads, and the dust container does its job. While a second battery is great for larger jobs, I find this sander reliable. I definitely recommend it, especially if you can get a good deal."

"I purchased this sander during a garage renovation. After struggling with a traditional orbital sander and a sheet sander, I switched to the Bosch RANDOM ORBITAL sander. I quickly realized I should have started with this tool. The results are far superior, and it’s much easier to use with excellent dust collection. While the dust bin isn't the easiest to empty, it doesn't detract from the tool's performance. When used with the 'Rockler - Dust Right FlexiPort Power Tool Hose Kit', it's perfect for larger projects. Best sander EVER!"

"This is my first random orbital sander, and I’m impressed with the smooth and efficient sanding it provides. The handle is very comfortable for extended use, and it’s lighter than my multi-tool attachment. The dust collection system works effectively, reducing my cleanup time significantly. I still wear a mask, but this sander does its job well. I wish the dust canister was larger, but the ability to connect to my shop vacuum helps. Overall, it’s a solid choice for DIYers like me."

"I've had my Bosch sander since 2016 and used it extensively for woodworking and metalworking projects. This spring, I even sanded the hull of my fiberglass sailboat with it. It’s one of the best-designed power tools I own, collecting dust exceptionally well with its exhaust filter. After eight years, I only needed to clean the filter with my shop vac. The only issue I encountered was the sanding pad finally wearing out, but replacement pads are cheap and available on Amazon. I recommend buying a couple of extras!"

"I've been using the DEWALT 20V Orbital Sander, and I’m really impressed with its performance! It’s lightweight, makes sanding quicker and less tiring. The variable speed control is fantastic, and the dust collection keeps my workspace cleaner than I expected. The 20V battery is a huge plus, as I can work without cords getting tangled. Just a heads up, the battery might not last forever on tougher jobs, but I can easily swap it out. Overall, I highly recommend this reliable cordless sander!"

"I started buying DeWalt tools years ago after a disappointing experience with cheaper options. I’ve never looked back. When I needed an orbital sander, I found a great price on this bare tool. It works nicely, collects dust effectively, and I find it comfortable to use even with my carpal tunnel issues. I’m happy with how it handles, and I’m no longer dreading the sanding part of my projects!"

"After searching for a wireless orbital sander, I decided on this model since I already own several DeWalt tools and batteries. Using it has been a pleasure. The velcro pad is easy to use, and it’s much more efficient than my old corded sanders. I appreciate how it stops instantly when switched off, eliminating the annoying vibration after use. I picked it up for $99, which felt like a steal. As a lifelong woodworker, this tool is a must-have in my shop!"

"I absolutely love this sander! It’s easy to use, and sandpaper replacement is a breeze. I’ve found it works well on all types of materials."

"I've been using Dewalt orbital sanders for decades, and this model has significantly reduced vibration. I can use it for much longer without discomfort!"

"This sander is a serious upgrade from Harbor Freight. It’s smooth, easy to handle, and the dust collection is effective!"

"I found this sander to be very effective, especially for its budget price. The sandpaper attached well and was comfortable to use. Surprisingly good dust collection too, although the bag is a bit tricky to clean out completely. The variable speed worked well and it was quieter than my detail sander. A great option for beginner to mid-level woodworkers!"

"I was a bit intimidated by a huge floor sander, but this little sander worked wonders on my wood floors after a fire. At 64 years old, I managed to sand all my floors on my hands and knees. I didn’t expect perfect results, but I’m pleased with how they turned out. This little sander held up beautifully!"

"I purchased this sander based on the great reviews, and it has been a lifesaver for my woodworking projects! The 6 adjustable speeds are perfect for various sanding tasks, and the 13000 RPM power really smooths everything out quickly. It’s super comfortable to hold, making longer projects much easier. The included sandpapers were convenient, and the dust bag does a great job of keeping the mess down!"

"I initially bought this sander as a budget option, but I was surprised by the excellent quality. It has a variable speed feature that I hadn’t seen before, and it feels heavy built—like it will last a lifetime."

"Having used my old sander very little, I found that this new one works very well for the tasks I’ve tried. It’s a great bargain at $25.99 on Amazon."

"I needed to remove polyurethane from a counter, and this sander did the job. It took some time, but after changing the sandpaper more frequently, it performed much better. Just a heads up—dust collection isn't great, so make sure to tent your room!"

"I was quite impressed with this sander. Inexpensive does not mean cheap! It feels solid, has a reasonable dust collection, and the Velcro pad is rugged. I started using it right away and got a glossy finish with the fine grit. Extremely satisfied!"

"As a novice DIYer, I found this sander to be perfect for refinishing my furniture. It’s lightweight and manageable, making it great for small jobs. Sure, there's some dust, but I expected that. Overall, a very positive experience!"

"This sander made my project to restain patio poles not only simple but almost fun! It’s a great tool, but I quickly learned that the single included sanding sheet wouldn’t last long, so I recommend getting extra sheets beforehand."

"I absolutely love this Dewalt Sander! It works so well and is incredibly easy to load and unload sandpaper."

"As a fan of DeWalt tools, I find this little sander to be fantastic. It's super easy to operate, and the sandpaper is held snugly by the two ‘arms'. Just remember to perforate the sandpaper before using it. The dust catcher holds a lot and is easy to remove. I didn't even use it with a shop vac, and it's not too noisy either. It fits perfectly in my palm, and while it doesn’t come with a tote bag, that wasn't a deal breaker for me. I’m very pleased!"

"I've been using this sander for my deck project, and it’s doing a great job. The size allows me to sand right next to walls, which is something my orbital sander struggles with. It's not as powerful as other orbital sanders from the same brand, but it’s perfect for sanding edges."
