I bought this Bosch random orbital sander so you would not have to! I really tried to like this sander, but in the end I was just too disappointed with some of the key aspects. I used it on a variety of projects, but ultimately I could not give it my seal of approval.

Aside from the negatives, there were some noteworthy bright points. I really liked the dust collection. It comes with its own dust collection adapter that works pretty well. Whether you are using the dust cartridge or connecting it to a shop vac, you won't be disappointed. It really excels in that area.

But the big down side to this sander is the lack of power. I found that it was totally useless when attempting to sand Spruce, Fir, or Pine. The Bosch random orbital sander will take forever to sand SPF and if you press too hard the pad will wear out really fast. Which is another gripe that I have. I went through 2 pads in 7 months. That seems way too fast to me.

Either way, I hope you find the random orbital sander unboxing and review to be helpful and entertaining. Let me know in the comments if you suggest a different sander. I'll be in the market to purchase a new one and hopefully I choose wisely next time.
