BLACK+DECKER Orbital Sander, 5 Inch, 2.0 Amp, 12000 OPM, Corded, 1 Sandpaper Sheet and Dust Bag Included (BDERO100)

I am traveling and have left all of my 5 sanders at home. I should know better, because I have family (kids) that always need things done around their house. I needed an orbital without breaking the bank and this one seemed to fit the bill, based on other reviews.I am more than mildly impressed with this sander. Inexpensive does not mean cheap. Sure, there's only one speed and no handles, but it is decidedly orbital and has a very reasonable dust collection bag. It feels solid in my palm; I have no issues handling the unit and it does the job very well.The Velcro face pad is rugged and firm and the sanding discs attach and remove easily. The unit is also small enough to fit in your hand without losing control of it. I started using it within 15 minutes of delivery and have already burnt through a half dozen discs; I got a box of them that range from 40 grit to 340. Using that super-fine 340 left me with a glossy surface on the piece I was working on. Almost hated to stain it.Excellent purchase, extremely satisfied with this sander.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE 1 YEAR: still great! After the table I used it for tens of jobs but the most important ones: car roof stripping and repainting, fence sanding, two doors and an uneven drywall. No problem so far whatsoever :)I bought this sander specifically for a project that involved refinishing a 1910 table and this little guy was the key to the whole project.In the video I was using 60 grit sandpaper, as the table had some bad stains but the sander is so efficient that it literally takes minutes to strip the finish off a table (with 40 or 60 grit sandpaper). I had to be careful as you can easily get carried away and sand too much.Pros:- a lot quieter than I expected (compared to my father in law's older one)- I used it a lot during a day and it didn't heat up almost at all- very comfortable to work with- the dust extraction is very efficient- I was able to do corners, although I thought I would have to do them manually (you just have to find the right angle to hold it)- the price is really amazing :)Cons:- none so far

ORDERED = 09/20/2016 || SELLER = Amazon.com LLC || PAID = $26.99(Beware of Seller changes! That's when you may get burned!):: PROS ::1.) Ultra-Compact, efficient design, fits back in the box it comes with!2.) GOOD JOB sanding with little slow down, save tons of time.3.) I will NEVER use a sanding block again!4.) The pad it comes with worked ALL day, still has grit for another project.5.) Catches most of the dust, not ALL of it though.:: CONS ::1.) A bag to carry it in would of been nice, even a cheap plastic drawstring bag.2.) Dust escapes the unit, but it's not a deal breaker.3.) Motor sparks along the communtator shaft, not sure how this will effect it.4.) Smells a little like "Burning" electric the first few uses.:: OVERALL :: Just buy it, it's cheap, a good value and SAVES you a TON of work! You will never hand sand again! (Of course if GRAIN is an issue this won't help, the rotary motion is not a finishing sander, but for everything else its a GREAT VALUE!!!

Suitable for finih up work

Great product bought it for my self for Home Projects, and my sons stole it for their construction business haha

This thing was pretty cool, as a female I was intimidated to use this but I did a little research and I was able to quickly sand the bottom exposed wood on my dining room chairs to remove a weird orange hue and stain them in a nice oak finish. Worked great!

If you are considering buying this, then like myself you are attracted to the cost. I have not been disappointed. it only came with one piece of sandpaper, but that's not an issue because I wasn't even expecting that. I got more from my local Home Depot which was a different brand, but haven't had a problem with compatibility.There's not a lot to say about this sander, because it works so well I can focus on my work and not worry about the tool in my hand. I suppose the issue with going with Black and Decker versus the DeWalt or Bosch you might also look at is perhaps a more expensive tool will last longer. I have only used this a few times so far, and so far so good. It doesn't appear cheap or poorly made so I expect this should last me quite a while with light, infrequent use on my home projects.And I saw some people commenting about the dust collection on this. You can see it is just a little fabric bag. It works well for me. If I sand by hand and make dust and then go over it with this it seems to vacuum it up, so I'd say it works well.

Been. Using it for three years and it’s still going strong!
