use. It is probably unfair to compare with a bigger, more powerful sander, aimed at tradie, professional use.

I have used it for plenty of big and small jobs and it works well. Just make sure you have the right grit sandpaper for the job, and let the sander do the work. Don't push down too hard and if you see the paper sliding off to one side just back off the pressure a little. Be a little patient and it will get the job done well. Beware pushing down or applying too much pressure, you can take off too much very quickly.

One thing I really like is that the top has 2 screw holes. Screw a board onto the top, tip it over, clamp the board to your bench and you have a small linisher. I use it in this position to sharpen mower blades, old chisels, knives etc. Does an awesome job.

It hooks up to my shopvac, and very little dust is released into the air. Much better than the dust collector it comes with. Belts are readily available, and reasonably priced, especially on Ebay.

Great for DIY usage. If you plan on using regularly, invest in a Bosch Blue, or similar.
