Good sender for the price:
I just finished a 2-week sanding project with this sander. I do like it quite a bit. The sander feels sturdy and well-built overall. I like the mechanism that keeps the sand paper attached.

It is relatively quiet. The dust collection is relatively inefficient. Unless I got a model that was not balanced properly, the vibration are out of control for a sander of this size. Not surpisingly, the scratch pattern is not good.
Adapter Doesn't Fit 2 Of My Shop Vacuums!:
This is a good sander, don't get me wrong, It is strong, has less vibration than some and the tear drop shape fits the hand; However, I already own a Dewalt and only purchased this one because it supposedly fit common sized vacuum hoses. Plus, I think the customer support was awful.

I also tried it on the tiny Shark just to see, and it... more info
