Most helpful customer reviews16 of 17 people found the following review helpful.Does not lastBy TinkerWe bought several of the Dewalt 5-inch random orbit sanders less than a year ago and none are useable today. The problem is the foam backing to the sanding disk - all have dried out and cracked, most have lost large chunks of foam - and the cost of a replacement foam disk backing is 60% of the cost of a new sander.When they could be used, they worked well, but the first one began to crack and fail within 6 months, and the other four followed soon after.WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.A real good productBy W. MarcumI've been using this product for a while now and the bestthing about it is the vacuum attachment. I hook up my shop vac with a 1.5 in. dia. hose and there is no dust at all,whichcomes in handy when using the sander in the house. Recently sanded4 hardwood doors at my mother's place and the sander performed great.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Wish it would last longerBy Carol A. JohnstonI've been into woodworking for the past 15 years. Over that time I've gone through 4 of these sanders. Each lasts about 4 years, but I use it alot. I've tried the Porter Cable and Makita sanders, but this one works best for me. Maybe it's because I'm used to it. As I said before, I do lots of sanding and the sander works really well until it dies. I attach my sander to a Fein vacuum, and almost all of the dust is sucked up into the vacuum. My fourth one just died, so I'll be ordering a new one. I originally had the variable speed sander, but never used the slower speeds, so I'll order this one and save some money.See all 8 customer reviews...
