There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I also like how smooth the operation it. I do a LOT of sanding and my hands get pretty tired from the vibrations. This sander, however, does a pretty good job of reduction the hand vibration while still making this an excellent sander.
While I still really like this sander, the dust canister no longer stays on the sander. I do not know if somehow the rubber o-ring is worn down or the plastic lip in the canister. I will try to find a similar o-ring from a local hardware store to see if this fixes it or not but as it stands right now, I have no dust collection on my sander. Lowered a star as a result.
I was apprehensive purchasing this sander because of some of the other reviews. I had the previous Bosch sander, the 1295DVS, and it died after a few years (but with few hours of use.) Looking at the other ROS in this price range, I decided to go with this one and so far, I'm glad I did! Most of the bad reviews are people complaining about the pad not gripping the sand paper. Hooks are definitely smaller than the 1295DVS but I'm having NO ISSUES keeping the paper in place. Only thing I can think of that would cause others problems is the use of cheap sandpaper. I use Gator paper which not only sticks to the ROS good but it also lasts a real long time (from Lowes.) I've also used Freud paper which held well.
Dust system is as advertised - much better than any bag attachment. The canister is not hard to take on/off; it is a snug fit but that's what you expect on something that collects the amount of dust it does. Make sure to empty frequently.
Low vibrations means that you can sand for much longer before you get that tingling in your hands. Positioning of the air vents and the length of the handle means you got good and comfortable spots to sand with both hands without covering the air vents.
While it would be nice to have the variable speed switch in a different location, it's not often you change your speed while sanding so it's location is sufficient.
Worth the extra few dollars to get the hard case. It stores well and allows you to store the ROS on its side in the case meaning you won't warp your pad or flatten your hooks while storing it on its pad, extending the life of your equipment.
If you're in the market for a new ROS then don't hesitate in buying this one, you won't regret it!
*Also it can take a beating! I don't recommend throwing it around garage to test it out though 😂 But after more drops to the ground then I can count, it's never failed.
Top reviews from other countries
The dust collection system is very efficient and it had reduced my cleanup significantly. I still wear a mask but this really does its job well. The cover is a bit hard to remove though so be careful when cleaning or else you'll have fine dust everywhere. I wish the canister was a bit larger but I do like the option to use my own shop vacuum.
Overall, it's a solid choice for DIYers like myself
