Customer Review: There are much better sanders
I bought this after hearing strong reviews and was pretty disappointed. I'd had two Porter Cable sanders that worked well except that the later model has a flimsy dust-catcher that flopped and spewed dust after several uses, which is why I tried the Rigid. This isn't a terrible sander, it just isn't all that great -- not as good as the Porter Cables, and nowhere near as good as the Bosch that I have since purchased, which eats through wood like nobody's business and gives an incredibly smooth surface. To be fair, the sander arrived in like-new condition and my service from CPO Rigid was great, it's just the product that came up short. Instead of this, buy the Bosch for dramatically better results.
Customer Review: Good tool gone bad
I have owned 3 of these over the past 4 years. I am a home remodeling contractor and the first sander lasted 3 plus years and took much abuse. The second lasted 5 months before the bearings failed and the third just stopped working in the middle of a light duty sanding job. The last 2 sanders were made in China and I'm not sure where the first one was made but something changed for the worse. It's too bad as I love this tool when it works but can't trust it any more. I will send this one back under warranty and use it as a back-up after buying a Porter cable or Dewalt as a primary tool. So much for saving costs by going to China.
