Title: Great value for money, Bosch quality, Pro 3 year warranty if you register it online.
Review: This is a very nice sander indeed: well made, powerful, comfortable and flexible to use ( the ability to lock on, use variable speeds and change hand positions).The sander comes in a sturdy cardboard box, with a dust collection adapter, a sample paper dust bag, a sample sanding disk and the usual wedge of instructions.It feels like quality in the hand: the cable, switch, speed selector dial, the rubber moulding, the plastics: they are all high quality. In use it is very powerful, not too noisy, it produces really professional results ( with quality 150mm perforated disks), dust exctraction is very good with the plstic adapter, better again when connected to a vacuum system. Is it as good as a Festool sander? No, but it is less than half the price of a Festool.You can buy this in various kits which include cases or plastic dust collectors and an auxiliary handle ( which screws onto the front) but in my experience it was massively cheaper to buy the accessories I wanted separately (that handle is less than £4, plastic dust collector is about £10 – the kit was £50 more when I looked).I understand that people can be unhappy that it doesn’t come with a hard case/ plastic dust collector/ additional hand grip, but in my experience, this type of tool sits on a workshop bench and is connected to a vacuum dust extractor. I have umpteen hard cases with nothing in them..it is nice not to have to pay for things you don’t need/ want. What would be useful is if it came with a trial pack of abrasive disks in different grits: they are excellent, but lots of folks won’t try them because they are pricey compared to the no name ones you have to change every 5 minutes….Top tips:1: Try using it with a lambswool hook and loop bonnet (and Lord Sheraton’s Caretaker Balsam) to polish wood furniture: low speed, no dust extractor connected: really impressive results and no effort at all.2: Don’t forget to register it online within a couple of weeks of receiving it to upgrade your warranty from one year to three years!

Title: Capable little machine indeed!
Review: This is a case of the little engine that could!As a hobbyist wood worker and DIYer have used it on a few projects so far, the most significant being this dining table I made.It made short work of removing the high spots and with a little time and multiple abrasive grades, I was able to flatten the table without the need for a planer thicknesser, shapeform or router sled.Very low vibration is probably the biggest benefit, but the extraction when attached to a Henry is also very good! I was able to sand in situ (my dining room) with very little dust.Fast becoming my favourite power tool.90% of my kit is Bosch Pro for a reason.

Title: Great sander
Review: I’ve used the GEX 150 AC (as a hobbyist woodworker and DIYer) for a couple of years now. I got a good Black Friday deal on it (~£105) and at that price it has been absolutely superb value. The auxiliary front handle (~£4) makes the ergonomics much better and really ought to be included with the sander. The dust extraction is normally faultless (esp. with net type abrasives like Mirka Abranet) and the sanding performance is great. If you lift/angle the sander to hit a smaller area then dust can escape, and sanding can be more aggressive/faster. Vibration seems to depend a lot on how you hold it but once you find a good grip then the vibration can be minimal; likewise noise levels are fine. Finally, it has proven itself quite robust, surviving a drop from ceiling height onto a hardwood floor while running with no apparent damage. The only spare part I’ve had to replace in several years of use is a rubber gasket/seal between the sanding pad and the body of the sander.Recommendations for woodworking: get a Mirka Pad Saver, and use either Abranet or 3M Cubitron II abrasives.

Title: Best sander I’ve ever used
Review: Having some house renovation done recently and I needed to sand down door frames after removing paint. I’ve used a few sanders in the past, cheap ones and they always leave my hand tingling/vibrating after using. Not to mention all the dust they produce. This however is totally different, you can tell when you take the item out of the box it is made from much better quality materials and is so much easier to use.I was going to go for a cordless option but was worried about the power and changing batteries, I’m glad I went with this one instead. I was sanding for at least an hour straight and didn’t feel a thing, no tingling, no vibration.The disc part is adjustable so you can use 125mm or 150mm I believe which is great depending on area you are sanding. Baring in mind I’m just a regular DIYer, so I’m sure other professional users can give you more detail.As far as I’m concerned, this was a good investment especially since I’ll need to repaint the house soon and this will undoubtedly make it easy. I know it costs an arm and a leg vs the cheap ones but if you’ve got a lot of work to do it will be worth it. In any case if you dont need sell it, would still work out cheaper than renting/buying cheaper nasty one and yield better results.

Title: Amazing sander, just need to empty often
Review: I find this thing a joy to use. It is light, sand paper is easy to swap. It is accurate, I get very little vibration from it. The dust removal is good but has to be emptied often and the filter clogs up fast. You need strong hands to change the dust capturing compartment.

Title: Great tool!
Review: Having previously used the green bosh range it felt amazing to switch to blue! It is easy to hold and sands very well, dust is minimal. I recommend to any diy-er 🙂

Review: Comoda, giusto peso, vibrazioni alla mamo molto limitate, filtro raccogli polveri davvero molto efficiente (trasparente proprio per controllare quando pieno). Solo orbitale, anche se per inerzia poi il platorello gira

Review: Ponceuse pour le marché anglais (prise anglaise) du coup soit on utilise un adaptateur soit on coupe le câble pour mettre une prise française mais dans ce cas on peut dire adieu à la garantie. Le produit presente pas mal de coups et d’ailleurs l’adaptateur aspirateur est cassé.
