Poor battery life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this sander yesterday, charged the battery fully before using it, and have found that the battery barely lasts 15 minutes. I have been rotating 3 batteries (I do like that they are interchangeable with my dewalt drills), but am not able to compete my sanding work before running through all three batteries, even rotating two on two chargers while I work. I like the convenience of a cordless sander, but 15 minute run time negates the convenience of a cordless tool.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does what it’s supposed to do. No fuss, comfortable in the hand. Dust handling could be better, but probably not possible at this price point.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3 months old, switch shot. Unable to buy replacement

I hate the sander. The weird angle of the dust bag and the battery makes it awkward to use or store.
What I really hate about it is that there is no baffle or anything to keep the dust in the bag. Every time you move this thing, it leaves a pile of dust. Since this is a cordless tool, you can bet it will be moved around from job to job, leaving a mess everywhere.
Makita and Bosch both put baffles on their dust bags to keep the dust in.
Also, the non-standard dust port means it doesn't fit onto vacuum hoses the way that Makita, Bosch and Metabo/Hitachi do.
It sands fine, but I wish I had bought a Makita.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this little sander. The functionality of a random orbital with the size of a palm. There is some heft to it, so you’re not going to forget it’s there, but it feels sturdy. The variable speed is a nice feature and adds some flexibility. I’m not a fan of the dust collection bag (I’ve never seen one of those work as intended), but I added the DWV9000 and my old (small) shop-vac for an inexpensive and remarkably effective dust collection system.
Impressive and perfect for large or small projects

There's not much more to say about this product other than it has a great battery run time, is heavy duty enough for larger jobs, and delicate enough for small weekend DIY family projects. It's come in handy during my latest furniture and cabinetry builds. This is among one of the easiest cordless sanders I've used when it comes to control and finesse, and the variable-speed aids in that heavily.
