Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This sander worked great for about a month (I used it about 4 times on small woodworking projects)until it broke. The suspension for the sanding pad is not rubber like most sanders, but 3 thin plastic pins that flex at very high speeds when the sander is turned on. I took the sander apart to see what broke and found it to be one of the plastic pins. It melted in half from the flexing. Which didn't surprise me at all because that's what happens to plastic when it flexes repeatedly! Worst design i have ever seen!!! I will never buy another B&D power tool again! Buying this sander is like buying a paper cup instead of a glass. Pros: Has a strong motor and great ergonomic design. Cons: Poor mechanical design. This thing will literally destroy itself!
