350W 3A Electric Random Orbital Sander with Pluggable Wire, Central Vacuum, Sanders for Woodworking, Primary Wood and Panel Processing

This sander produces an exceptionally smooth finish with no swirl marks. It is comfortable to hold and use and has very little vibration. I set it up with an automatic switch so my vacuum is turned on whenever I start the sander. The dust extraction is very efficient and captures almost all of the dust making the use of a dust mask unnecessary. The unit seems well-built. Since it was just received I cannot review how long it will last, but the motor does not show signs of overheating. A definite recommendation. ***Update 1/8/2024 - It's now been a few months shy of a year since I purchased this sander, which has been used almost daily to do medium and finish sanding on sign blanks prior to staining or painting. The machine has held up well and replaced a Dewalt 5 inch sander. The 6 inch diameter abrasive covers more area and produces a good finish when combined with premium abrasive. When combined with dust extraction it eliminates the need to wear masks. It's very low vibration makes even long duration jobs more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

I own two, one of which I've owned for a year. I haven't owned any high-priced sanders to compare to, but I love these. They have long rubber power cords, a good sanding pad (which is replaceable anyway) and low center of gravity. I suspect the Mirka sanders (upon which this is based) are very fine sanders, but for me these are just great and at a price I can afford. Have experienced absolutely no issues. I use Rockwell hose and dust attachments to hook up to dust collector. Since purchasing these I haven't used my Porter Cable 1/2 and 1/4 pad sanders, Elu belt sander, or Dewalt 5" random orbital sanders.

Works great. I use it mostly to sand spackle and does a great job. The cost is great for what it does.

Purchased this sander in March 2025. I REALLY liked this sander. Dust collection is good, vibration is minimal, like the speed control, good feel, etc. The bad review is because of its lifespan. The power switch has failed within 3 months. Sander won’t turn on, and if it does, it shuts off continuously while sanding. I’ve taken the cover off and cleaned the switch multiple times and it just keeps failing. The sander itself seems to be built pretty well, but durability of the switch is very poor.

I have had good performace with this sander while using a vacuum. The sander will overheat if no vacuum is used. All of the brushless sanders will have over heating issues with out the use of a vacuum. I have found the Phendo has better cooling than my airvantage brushless sander. The Phendo is heavier and larger than my airvantage brushless but is much less affected by heat. This is a major issue for me as I live in Texas and work outside in the heat. This is now my primary sander. The seal between the sander and the backing Velcro pad that holds the sandpaper is not long lived there is a rubber o ring that is greased and the seal lasted about 20 hours before it failed and had to be remove. As it was interfering between the sander body and the backing pad not allowing the pad to rotate freely. As this seal when removed allows air to bypass the airflow through the backing pad and sand paper the sander looses some of its dustless efficiency but it still in near dustless without the seal. I have only had the sander shutdown 2 times when it got too hot but that was running at 6 hours plus and in high heat probably 95 Fahrenheit and with a vacuum that needed the filter bag changed. The air advantage sander is more comfortable in the hand as it is smaller better balanced (not as tall) easer to hold and sand in any angle. But it has issues in that it has vibration issues and made my hand numb after 4 hours of use. And was not as resistant to heat buildup after long use. At 1/2 the price as the air vantage it would be my pick. The only downside side to the Phendo is lack of parts if you have something go wrong. I had a German made 6” rigid sander that was my primary sander for 10 years but you can no longer find a backing pad for this sander. If you have not tried the brushless sanders you don’t know what your missing the speed of stock removal of the brushless sander is amazing with high quality abrasives it can’t be beat. It is also much more pleasant to sand with.

The sander has the least vibration of any sander I’ve used. And the low center of gravity makes it super easy to sand vertical pieces as well as any other surface. It’s easily controlled and the brake is incredibly efficient, stops nearly instantly. Toss the included hose and pick up some other connectors for your vacuum. I was worried about a non standard brand and needing a replacement backer pad, I’ve found that the Maxxt backer pad fits the connection. Festool ones may fit the connector but don’t engage the brake
