So there you go, two Bosch sanders and yet again (if you’ve watched my previous Bosch video reviews on their router or tracksaw) I sound like a Bosch fanboy.

To make sure we are still recommending the best products for your needs, we recently reviewed this story to make sure it is still accurate and that we stand by what we wrote. After running the sander across our ceiling to address old paint, plaster, and drywall, the circular edge of the pad was harder to separate than it was when sanding flat surfaces that distributed the rotation and pressure across the diameter of the sanding disc. I placed my hand on the sanding disc while it was running with a 40-grit disc, and it didn’t harm me. On the smaller Makita, its in an awkward enough position that you need to pull your hand back a little to properly adjust, and with the Milwaukee it so stiff and awkwardly recessed you almost need a flat head screwdriver. It sands evenly which means I don't have to fear making start and stop marks, and the filter keeps the dust well.

With the more powerful motor, there was no stalling with my vacuum with the tool collar fully open or closed.

I have no cons other than the fact it could use a more forward hold down for the second hand for support. Less dust is going to blow through the hard plastic compared to a bag, and the filter gives far more surface area.While the vibration certainly sets the general ergonomics apart, I found this was a pretty comfortable sander to hold anyway. Unlike its little brother there is no rubber gasket when you go to attach it to a vacuum, though there is the more standard ribbed connector design, and its much easier to attach. I did find myself wanting an additional handle for balance, but that may be more personal preference and what I’m used to. To control the sander, you grab onto one of the device’s soft-grip surfaces—either from the top, around the base under the power cord, from the front of the device. In Australia, it is only available in one package – the box I have with two sanding discs, the two sanding pad sizes, the sander and the cannister.

According to the Bosch FAQ section, Bosch blue products carry a twelve-months-from-date-of-purchase warranty. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).As a professional, a lot is expected of you: speed, reliability, competence, endurance – in short: excellent results. While I waited for the sander to cool off after extended use, I took note of another surprising element: the built-in microfilter system. Sure, you could do the dishes by hand, but it’s a heck of a lot more efficient (and a lot less exhausting) to let an electronic device handle it for you.
