Purchased for use as a machine polisher for use on cars. Teamed with the 125mm Bosch foam pads and a 2.5 Ah battery it works superbly.One battery can do a whole car with ease, with enough charge for 2 cars, which is what I was concerned about as some said they didn't last long! (It's still worth having 2 batteries, at least for me as I have a Bosch drill).This can take the 4 Ah battery and the 6 Ah battery without the dust box, but I'm not sure if it would be as comfortable to hold. You don't want to be using it for a long time anyway, both on a car and in your hands.Which brings me to a minor complaint, this thing vibrates and rattles which can be a little off-putting.I can see why the dust container cracks for some users (though you won't need it for cars)... Hopefully the actual unit won't shake itself loose internally, but like all Bosch power tools you can register for the extended 3-year warranty.I feel it was well worth the purchase for me, a third of the price the detailing shops sell their corded machines for (and from the same manufacturing country), though I can see polishers are becoming more affordable by the year.I feel that if you don't have a battery and charger, which equal the price of this unit, the budget options for half the price might be a better choice or you could try the corded Bosch Blue for a few more pennies.If you're a mobile detailer or just want to be cable-free, this is probably the best choice though other manufacturers are waking up to this market (Ryobi, Makita, etc).

Have avoided orbital sanders because they leave circular patterns. Properly finished work will indeed still need properly finishing by hand. French polishing needs that. HOWEVER - this little beast takes a lot of the grind out of normal finishing.Complaints: The on/off switch is in a lunatic position, underneath where it is being held. Whoever put it there in the design process need his (probably a "him"!) head reprogramming. The dust extractor box is as effective as I expected. Like: not effective at all. A full day of sanding might fill the box to about 1/3 and the machine achieves a significant layer of dust. It is better with Abranet discs (or their cheaper Pronet equivalent),But a vacuum connection is really needed. (That's a pity because the hose negates the advantage of cordless!)It does need two batteries if you're going to use it a lot. You need to be charging a new one as you work. Not a problem: I have two! (One from the strimmer in this range - which is near useless.)

I bought this sander for one job, ended up using for many! The ability to add just the speed of rotation is by far the most advantageous. It’s really easy to grip using the two handles and stead across the surface of the wood your sanding. I bought it to renew an old kitchen worktop. I wanted to do it myself so I wanted to get something reliable (it seems to be so far!) relatively inexpensive (its a high end consumer product, not professional grade) and cordless. The ability to use my one4all battery from my drill is fantastic. Wish it lasted longer, but beggars can’t be choosers.The only negative for me (as others have said)was the lack of storage - at this price I would have expected a carry case.

It's a well made sturdy tool that does what it says on the tin.it accepts both 1.5 & 2.0 Ah 18V batteries from the Power 4 All range.Only complaint is that it comes in a cardboard box and not a carry case which in my opinion is disgusting considering the price.That's why only 4 starsUpdate for ALL of these Bosch Power 4 all Cordless Products. The actual batteries for these are absolute crap !I hardly use my power tools and have probably never charged any of them more than 25-30 times since new but they get weaker and weaker each time I do.. Now 10 mins max of sanding drilling or jigsaw and its dead. stay clear unless they announce a product correction.

Looks Like a good sturdy build, haven't used it yet as it arrived without battery wich was not included in the pack, that was the only bit wich let me down, but will review as soon as i get the battery pack and charger and will give it some use.?Little update, I went to clean the filter recently as haven’t used it in while and here’s how Bosch glued its hepa filter inside the box, just some hot glue that easily came of as soon as I tried to hover the dust from the filter ? disappointing.the battery doesn’t last long you have around 30 minutes at its best to sand and I have the 4.0 so the big chunky battery not the small ones. Going back to a wired sander.

A very good sander which i was happy to buy without a battery and charger as I already had a Bosch 18v One for all cordless drill.But.1. Delivery took over three weeks during which time the price dropped by a tenner.2. My existing battery (1.5 Ah) would only run the sander for a very short time. I bought a 2.5 Ah battery which although supposedly part of the One for All Bosch range didn't fit my existing charger. Can't post thw battery back as prohibited by the Post Office, so a new charger was required.All in all an expensive way to buy a sander, battery and charger in three transactions.

Brilliant sander that does what it says on the tin. It isn’t too uncomfortable once you literally get to grips with it! Found it holds the dust well in the small collector and not so much of it flying around. The pads are easy to attach like Velcro and switch when required. Battery life is ok. Expect to maybe switch if have large panels or lot to sand down. I already had spare battery for my drill so this was perfect & kept cost down. Recommend to anyone who wants a simple sander that can change speeds, batteries and sanding pads in seconds

This being an orbital sander, it is by definition not easy to hold and quite noisy. Having said that, it would be nicer if it was a little quieter.The dust filter works pretty well but doesn't have a huge capacity. Cleaning it provokes a cloud of dust if not opened carefully within a bin or bag.The unit can take the regular 2.5 Ah and the much larger 4 Ah batteries.

I have a mains powered Bosch orbital sander and in comparison this is is very quiet, in fact when I first turned it on I thought there was something wrong. I've only used it once but it seems OK, the only problem I've had with Bosch sanders is the velcro type pad that the paper sticks to becomes less efficient.

So massively frustrating there are no battery options included. Increases the ticket price significantly.So very poor marketing

Is just great tiny tool.Verry HandyDoes the jobMaybe NexT time they will re-design the tool with a better orbital movement

5.1.2018

Excellent sander. Loads of power, connected to my vacuum and no cables to get tangled with?Bye bye a/c power tools

3.2.2018

First class machine. Really comes in to its own, being cordless. No wire to tangle up or restrict movement. Ray.

22.2.2020

Its a good sander, easy to use and cheap. It is a little bulkier than I thought it would be but does the job.

Works like a threat. The variable speed helps alot when sanding small surfaces like corners.
