I needed to sand a room that had some really bad faux painting done on the walls. This sander made quick work of the walls. It is just the right size and power for this type of work.

I do love this little sander. I also bought a belt sander via Amazon to do the first sanding and this little sander to put the finishing touches. I put duct tape on the sand paper back side to make sand paper last longer from ripping. Just love this Sander!

I bought this sander as recommended by bloggers John and Sherry and Young House Love. I figure if it works for their DIY projects, it would work for mine. It is very easy to load the sandpaper and the dust collector works very well. There is some dust, but it is very little. I am refinishing a dresser, and this sander does the job well. My only negative is that the cord is a bit on the short side, but that can very easily be remedied with an extension cord.
