- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2024Style: Tool with CaseVerified PurchaseI have never been disappointed with a Makita tool. This one works great and is light and easy to use.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2024Style: Tool with CaseVerified PurchaseThis is a great little sander. I use for finish sanding for hobby woodworking projects. It is relatively lightweight and produces very little vibration, so you can sand without fatigue. It has a lot of power - I've used it on cherry, hard maple, and walnut so far. The dust collection works well provided you line up the holes in the sanding disk with the pad. It is not abnormally noisy, but you should wear ear protection. I recommend it!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024Style: Tool with CaseVerified PurchaseI just got this sander. It sands great. No issues. But as others have mentioned, dust collection is another story. I have a cheap dust collection system, a regular shop-vac, a small shop-vac and a handful of stepped hose adapters. Guess how many of those items will pair with the dust collection port on this sander to allow me to use a vacuum. That's right. Zero.
How hard does this have to be?
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024Style: Tool with CaseVerified PurchaseMy 25 year old Makita finally bit the dust (pun warning). This replacement is every bit as good. I also have a larger, two-handed version, which is great, but this smaller palm sized one is perfect for smaller jobs and tighter spaces. I recommend to friends, as well as others.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023Style: Tool with CaseVerified PurchaseThis sander is very comfortable to use. It is not too heavy and doesn't vibrate on the top end leaving you with a much smoother use. Make sure to get sanding disks that are rated for this tool as it 'orbits' at 12,000, it will be worth the investment otherwise you will have disks flying across your workshop from coming detached. The dust collection system operates by sucking the sawdust through the holes in the disks into the dust bag...well kinda. This type of problem is not unique to this brand as most (all?) others have the same issue. Hook it up to a shop vac to eliminate the major dust build up. Since it is a corded sander, you have to plug it into an outlet anyway, so plugging in an additional source of dust mitigation won't hurt. It's O/RPM is static so some might consider this a drawback. This brand has been around for many years and make superb tools. The decibel level is rated (by brand) at around 85 to 95 depending on what and how you are using it. Not deafining, but always get into the habit of wearing ear/sound protection. Great brand and fabulous product. Recommended!

It keeps workplace clean, I love that!
Also it sands super well too.
