BOSCH ROS20VSC Palm Sander 2.5 Amp 5 Inch Corded Variable Speed Random Orbital Sander, Polisher Kit with Dust Collector and Soft Carrying Bag

Excellent performance

!20V!!! How can this be supplied in the UK - machine committed suicide on first use. Now hopelessly damaged . This is a dangerous option to not DIYers like me. I shall be complaining in no uncertain terms. Not to mention the damager to my dining room table!!!!!

Don’t buy! Burnt out on first use and when you complain they won’t help you. Poor product and poor service.

Wrong voltage for UK. 🇬🇧 Probably an oversight on our part when ordering.

Estupenda lijadora roto orbital con 6 velocidades. No es ruidosa y genera muy poco polvo. De excelente calidad, muy sólida y de buen peso y tamaño. Siempre que se prende, inicia despacio pero después de 2-3 segundos alcanza la velocidad adecuada.

Great entry level sander. I had the battery Dewalt XR for well over a year before I destroyed it, and the Bosch is much better. Its lightweight, barely vibrates your hand at all and does the job just fine; and I mainly sand hardwoods. For those debating between this and the Dewalt, this is the clear winner.

I’d call this a light-medium duty tool, meant mostly for finishing work, and I’m very satisfied with it so far. I’ve used it for maybe 25 hours in the short time I’ve owned it, and I’m still pleased. I bought it because multiple other reviewers had commented on how well the dust containment worked, and that was imperative to me since I have a small workspace. The dust containment has lived up to the reviews, and sometimes I turn it on just to suck up dust I’m made while hand-sanding. It has variable power, and the maximum is solidly adequate for the duty level of the tool. The variable motion is effective, and it won’t leave marks unless you push down on it or leave it against the work while switching off. I’ve found the shape and surface of the grip surfaces to be very comfortable no matter how long you use it. The tool is also just barely heavy enough to sand most things under its own weight, which is a necessity. A feature I like a lot, whether it was intended or not, is that the balance of the weight of the motor vs the grip is such that it is very easy to maneuver and control when it’s being used on something other than a horizontal surface. Finally, it feels rock solid. I’ll admit that I haven’t dropped it or really challenged it’s strength in a meaningful way because I haven’t owned it for that long, so I can’t prove it, but it feels just like all of the other sturdy tools I’ve had, and the motor seems to cool itself effectively enough that I’m not really worried about the motor. Great tool, and I look forward to the thousands of hours I intend to put on it.

This is my first random orbital sander and it gives smooth and efficient sanding. The handle is very comfortable to hold for long periods and it's very lightweight compared to sanding with my multi-tool attachment. The dust collection system is very efficient and it had reduced my cleanup significantly. I still wear a mask but this really does its job well. The cover is a bit hard to remove though so be careful when cleaning or else you'll have fine dust everywhere. I wish the canister was a bit larger but I do like the option to use my own shop vacuum. Overall, it's a solid choice for DIYers like myself

I purchased this sander partway through an extensive garage renovation. With built-in wood cabinetry that had been neglected for years, I began sanding the frames and doors using a traditional orbital sander combined with a sheet sander I had previously purchased. After some challenges and additional research, I decided to purchase the Bosch RANDOM ORBITAL sander. I quickly realized I had been missing out and should have started the project with this tool. The results are far superior to the other two sanders, and it is much easier to use, with superior results. In addition, the dust collection on this tool is superior. While the dust bin isn't necessarily easy to empty (I use a vacuum while opening), that challenge doesn't take away from the superior qualities of this sander. When combined with the "Rockler - Dust Right FlexiPort Power Tool Hose Kit with Click-Connect, 3' to 12' Expandable Hose", also sold on Amazon, you can tackle large projects while connecting the sander to your shop vac using the included connector. Best sander EVER!
