Like a Bosch!
This sander is an absolute gem of a tool. Right out of the box, the build quality is impressive—it feels solid and sturdy, like it’s ready to tackle years of DIY abuse without breaking a sweat. One of the standout features is the anti-vibration technology. I’ve used sanders before that left my hands feeling like they were still shaking hours after I’d stopped, but not this one. It’s so smooth I can sand for hours without a problem—though my playlist might need more variety now! The dust collection box is surprisingly effective, catching most of the mess. But I went one step further and hooked it up to my shop vacuum, which turned it into a virtually dust-free setup. Highly recommend doing that if you’ve got the kit—it keeps the workspace tidy and my lungs happy. A quick tip: invest in a pad saver. It’s a thin layer that sits between the sander’s Velcro pad and your sanding discs, taking all the wear and tear so your sander’s pad lasts much longer. Trust me, it’s worth it. The speed control is a nice touch, though, in all honesty, max speed is what I’ve used for most projects. Why mess about when full speed does the job so well? Lastly, don’t forget to register the sander on Bosch’s website. Doing so extends the warranty to three years, which is a no-brainer for a tool like this. Overall, this sander is a fantastic addition to any toolkit. It’s powerful, comfortable, and built to last. Highly recommended for DIYers and pros alike!

Fantastic Sander – Great with Henry Vacuum and Quality Discs
I’ve been really impressed with this sander. It’s powerful, easy to handle, and made light work of a job I was dreading — sanding down my stair balustrade and other awkward woodwork around the house. What really made the difference was pairing it with my Henry vacuum for dust extraction. With the right connector, it kept the workspace virtually dust-free, which is a huge bonus for indoor jobs. A couple of tips for anyone considering this setup: Don’t skimp on the sanding discs. I used high-quality hook-and-loop discs in a variety of grits, which made a huge difference in both speed and finish. These are excellent:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mirka-Abranet-sanding-varnish-plastics/dp/B0CBQKGPM4. I used a universal vacuum hose adapter that fits snugly between the sander and the Henry vacuum. It’s a flexible, cut-to-fit rubber adapter that works brilliantly. You can find it here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/r.html?C=3E0UC6L4QQ3O7&K=1N9D5RTP1IFO1&M=urn:rtn:msg:2025071813011355d8b5ff8b0a4ad3b3071c86bb90p0eu&R=D8HL6787MB82&T=C&U=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB09QHMDL35%3Fref_%3Dpe_112168041_1111392281_t_fed_asin_title&H=AVGXQAABADDVUZ1X9LOGOIQ485EA&ref_=pe_112168041_1111392281_t_fed_asin_title. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/r.html?C=2OOMOUNK2WSST&K=1N9D5RTP1IFO1&M=urn:rtn:msg:20250718204503ef76bedd0a474ec9b5f56ce50ac0p0eu&R=10RL9WZX27EJM&T=C&U=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB07MBGQR8S%3Fref_%3Dpe_109253361_1103576791_t_fed_asin_title&H=KNA3D44NJVKAUYPAGM05TXICGFAA&ref_=pe_109253361_1103576791_t_fed_asin_title The combination of a good sander, proper dust extraction, and quality discs turned what could have been a messy, time-consuming job into something surprisingly satisfying. Highly recommended for any DIYer or home renovator.

Great value for money, Bosch quality, Pro 3 year warranty if you register it online.
This is a very nice sander indeed: well made, powerful, comfortable and flexible to use ( the ability to lock on, use variable speeds and change hand positions). The sander comes in a sturdy cardboard box, with a dust collection adapter, a sample paper dust bag, a sample sanding disk and the usual wedge of instructions. It feels like quality in the hand: the cable, switch, speed selector dial, the rubber moulding, the plastics: they are all high quality. In use it is very powerful, not too noisy, it produces really professional results ( with quality 150mm perforated disks), dust exctraction is very good with the plstic adapter, better again when connected to a vacuum system. Is it as good as a Festool sander? No, but it is less than half the price of a Festool. You can buy this in various kits which include cases or plastic dust collectors and an auxiliary handle ( which screws onto the front) but in my experience it was massively cheaper to buy the accessories I wanted separately (that handle is less than £4, plastic dust collector is about £10 - the kit was £50 more when I looked). I understand that people can be unhappy that it doesn't come with a hard case/ plastic dust collector/ additional hand grip, but in my experience, this type of tool sits on a workshop bench and is connected to a vacuum dust extractor. I have umpteen hard cases with nothing in them..it is nice not to have to pay for things you don't need/ want. What would be useful is if it came with a trial pack of abrasive disks in different grits: they are excellent, but lots of folks won't try them because they are pricey compared to the no name ones you have to change every 5 minutes.... Top tips: 1: Try using it with a lambswool hook and loop bonnet (and Lord Sheraton's Caretaker Balsam) to polish wood furniture: low speed, no dust extractor connected: really impressive results and no effort at all. 2: Don't forget to register it online within a couple of weeks of receiving it to upgrade your warranty from one year to three years!

Die schleifmaschine kommt mit einem Stecker der fürs Ausland gedacht ist. Passt in unsere Steckdosen nicht rein

Comoda, giusto peso, vibrazioni alla mamo molto limitate, filtro raccogli polveri davvero molto efficiente (trasparente proprio per controllare quando pieno). Solo orbitale, anche se per inerzia poi il platorello gira

Ponceuse pour le marché anglais (prise anglaise) du coup soit on utilise un adaptateur soit on coupe le câble pour mettre une prise française mais dans ce cas on peut dire adieu à la garantie. Le produit presente pas mal de coups et d'ailleurs l'adaptateur aspirateur est cassé.
