very good belt sander:

THIS VARIABLE SPEED BELT SANDER IS VERY GOOD FOR THE MONEY.
IF YOU DOING LOTS OF HEAVY SANDING, THEN MAYBE THE DEWALT IS THE WAY TO GO. DEWALT COST MORE AND WEIGHT IN AT 16lb. RYOBI WEIGHT IN AT 9lb AND THAT LIGHT. I'M SANDING THE GARAGE DOOR SIDE JAMBS AND UNDER, SO LIGHTNESS COUNTS.

Never received:

This was meant as a birthday present for my son, but he never got it. I've contacted the company (Tools Now if I'm not mistaken) selling the product thru Amazon, but they haven't adequatly followed up. Now I'm out eighty-some dollars with no results!

This is a decent tool:

I bought my Ryobi several years ago. It's performed well all that time. The compact design makes it easy to handle. Belt changes are a snap. The flat top lets you flip it upside down and used it as a fixed sanding table fairly easily.
On the flip side, dust collection is not very good. There will be lots of dust on the floor and in the air. The bag fills up pretty rapidly, and it's not easy to clean out. A vacuum helps a lot.
Great value for the money, but if you want Porter-Cable quality, this... more info
