Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It works quickly and smoothly. Saves so much time and energy. My only complaint is that sometimes the palm of my hand inadvertently changes the speed because of the location of the dial.

I am amazed it can run for so long without overheating or letting up. Balance is good either using one hand on top to guide it or two hands taking advantage of the other handholds. It's forceful use and they stand up.

The rs006 replaces the dust canister and the vac002 has an outside diameter of 1 1/2. The adapter comes with the sander. Will get a shop vac for best results.

That gets the gouges out, knots almost smooth, and stains vanished. The 6 is pretty much the same as the 5 i already owned but with a larger pad.



Cons

This is defective. That problem is the power lead that friction fits into its connector. Even under warranty the problems are not worth the effort.

This sander is just over a year old. I run a shop and have used * 6” orbital sanders for years this model is not durable. Sometimes it will start, but once i set it face down to sand, it just stops. The rubber seal around the base is not secured and b...  Read More

Quality


Fantastic tool, does orbital and spin for fast removal.


Great tool, my 4th over 24 years of heavy use (the other 3 are still in use !


I've had a dewalt random orbital sander for about 8 years and then got this and was blown away.


Now that most of those replacement tools have not lasted, they have been replaced by bosch units.

Price


I just bought this one for larger areas during sale.


This sander is well worth the money for a mid range sander.


There is seriously nothing like this product out there for this price.


Its a little more $ than the other ones but well worth it.

Shipping


Separated the vacuum gasket 2 times in the first 5 minutes of use on delivery day.


Update to follow***update the replacement arrived in 2 days and worked as advertised.

Packaging/appearance


While not listed in the ad as coming with this sander my box also included the rs006 and vac002 vacuum hose adapters (as listed...  Read More


Sander arrived in a slightly crushed factory box.

Competitiveness


Bosch really did a great job with this sander with exception of the speed control and dust bag all in all a sander to rival the...  Read More


I used to be nearly all bosch power tools, but as they got stolen, i bought a variety of brands to replace them.


Even if you use it as much as us compare it to the other high end sanders.


In my opinion bosh makes the best orbital sandes in the market, i own other brands but they live sander marks.

    The sander is powerful and leaves a good smooth surface it does however have quite a bit of vibration you may want to invest in some antivibration gloves as well as wrap some foam pads around the handles


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The opening on the sander is a decent size for air flow but the vacuum adapter decreases quite a bit in size this also seems to be a common issue with most power tools with dust collection i always have to modify them to get more airflow


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Must have for fine sanding period


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do wish the back of the handle would have been rubber padded like the top and front grip


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When sanding overhead or on a vertical surface i used that handle a lot and it started to chafe my hand between thumb and forefinger despite good gloves


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To my surprise a 35mm vacuum adapter was included


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The included filter works well but gets clogged quickly

    I emptied it after every 30 minutes of use
