Review we selected:
"For at least occasional use, it’s really good and gets the job done. It easily removes three layers of paint from a wooden piece of furniture. Just be careful with the dust collection box, as it comes off easily!"

Review we highlighted:
"Very good. I sand corners on plastered walls, and it does the job perfectly. It doesn’t tire you out at all—you just hold it and move it around. It doesn’t need much pressure either. It’s small, comfortable to hold, and its vibrations are light and don’t bother your hand. It’s worth buying. P.S. I’ve sanded all the corners in five apartments. As for the sanding strips, I buy them and cut them myself to the right shape, because the ones included in the package were absolutely awful—they started peeling off after ten minutes."

It is the ideal choice for DIYers, home renovations and restoration projects, and is perfect for sanding medium to large flat surfaces such as doors, tables and walls. The speed control switch lets you adjust the speed to suit the sensitivity of each material, while the dual sanding sheet attachment system (Velcro and clips) and built-in dust bag provide flexibility and a clean working environment.

A review we selected:
"I don't use it professionally—that is, every day—but I have sanded the railings and doors and windows of my house, which has wooden ones throughout its 100 m². I can say that I'm pleased with how it performs and what it can do."

"The sander does exactly what it should and doesn’t fall short in any area. I can’t comment on the dust extraction system, as I use it with sandpaper without holes. The runtime with a 5Ah battery is very good, and the handle is ergonomically designed. Overall, it’s a worthwhile purchase that makes many jobs much easier!"

For most furniture around the home, a random orbital sander will do. For corners and finishing before painting, complement it with a detail sander or a palm sander, and use a cordless sander wherever there’s no power outlet. Whichever one you choose, keep sandpaper in a few grits: coarse for removing old paint and fine for the final pass.
