Bosch Random Orbit Sander PEX 220 A (220 W, in Carton Packaging)

I needed an Orbital Sander for redecoration and upcycling furniture. The quality for the price paid was excellent. I was very impressed with the finish I achieved, and once again, Bosch has delivered a product that functions well, without too much vibration.

Bought this to sand a freshly plastered wall. The wall had lots of lumps and bumps after the self plastering experience but this little guy made light weight of the task. It has a little dust bag on the back that collects the dust and does a good job. It’s powerful for it size comfortable to use and sands well. It does vibrate a lot and gives you a funny feel in your hands afterwards but I think they all might do. Lots of small bursts. Ensure you buy dust mask and eye protection

I bought this to sand down a dining table, 8 chairs, a coffee table and a large tv unit. Never owned an orbital sander before, but went for Bosch as I have a Bosch drill that is very good. This was very effective and gave a nice finish with the supplied sanding disc. Seemed to be as effective as a far more expensive makita we started the job with. Light, easy to use with one hand and small enough to do some bits the makita couldn't. Dust collection is poor though, I reckon it collected less than half the dust. When I had to change the disc, the ones I used were awful, but I suspect that was the paper rather than the sander.

I bought this principally to do sanding on some kitchen cutting boards I was making. I have a selection of Bosch tools already and when I spotted this on offer, it was a quick decision. Despite what another review says, this DOES have a soft start. That means you can place it on the material being sanded and then turn it on. Much better than turning it on and then placing it on the material as this offer a real risk of immediate jumping and swirl marks. You just need to let it do it's job. Don't apply any more pressure than is necessary to stop it wandering around, take it slow and easy and, if sanding wood, work along the grain. The risk of trying to hurry things and / or applying too much downward pressure is the dreaded swirl marks that are then a real pain to get rid of. It isn't over noisy, and the vibration is perfectly acceptable. It's comfortable to hold. The dust collection box is very good. I was pretty surprised when I saw how much sawdust came out of it after I'd finished my work which, in this case (for the cutting board project) involved multiple sanding with various grit sandpaper, starting at 80 and finishing at 240. The result is a surface that is unbelievably smooth. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

This is a good, very effective random orbit sander. Ergonomic and lightweight, it makes sanding of doors, my initial use, fairly straight forward. You do need patience though especially sanding paint off doors in order to get to the wood. Perhaps it needs to be a tad faster ? Furthermore, the dust extractor actually does an ok job. Note that it doesn’t remove all dust, far from it so I would advise wearing a mask, although that doesn’t help stop dust getting onto glasses as I encountered. The Velcro sanding disk is actually easy to fit, just make sure to align the holes which is straight forward using the naked eye. Surprisingly and disappointingly only 1 sanding disk was supplied. Whilst i wasn’t expecting lots, I was expecting/hoping to receive at least 2 or 3 albeit each of variable grit. In the context of the price that I paid - £33.38, I haven’t knocked off a star off my review, although I very easily could have done considering dust capture and even sanding speed. As always, I will update my review if I find any issues or encounter any problems.

I needed to sand all the woodwork in my living room. I started off using a mouse sander, but it was taking too long to do. So I ordered this orbital sander. I was able to get through the sanding much quicker with this. It sanded through layers and layers of paint easily so that I could get to the bare wood. So glad I bought this.

A great little sander for the price, nice and smooth and has a great lifespan. The only let downs are no variable speed. And a major fault with it is the dust collector constantly comes unclipped very easily and spews the dust that it has collected everywhere.

Doing up a two bedroom flat and I find myself filling lots of holes in the walls and needing to paint doors and skirting boards. I started off with one of those spongey sanding blocks but soon found it tiring so I invested in this little Bosch orbital sander and a box of 100 sanding disks. Talk about easy and effective! Leveling the filler on the walls became an absolute doddle. Smoothing and prepping the woodwork was also simplicity itself, just a matter of choosing the correct grade sanding pads. Attaching the pads using this velcro system is straightforward and the pads don't budge during use. The unit is small and very easy to guide it and apply the right amount of pressure. The dust collector isn't hugely effective but I have a Henry for clearing up. Also it's a bit noisy but that's the nature of power tools. Overall I'm really pleased. The results are great and it represents good value for money.

Prodotto molto buono

El producto ha funcionado bien. Lo único que después de utilizarlo 3 veces y sin mucha intensidad(2 horas en total de trabajo) ha dejado de funcionar y lo he tenido que devolver. La verdad es que me esperaba más de la marca Bosch

Bought this device and I was sent a used one. I'll will soon order it again. I hope that it will come brand new one. Other wise the review 1 stars stays.
