WOW Black & Decker, EXCELLENT!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

It FEELS like a $60 sander but due to the sale I got it for only $26! I'm so glad I checked on here before buying one from craigslist! I was going to buy one from craigslist for $25 to $35 that was used and in rugged condition, then I checked on Amazon and voila brand new one for same price or less than the used craigslist ones!

This sander feels like a premium sander. The finish is very nice and it looks expensive and feels expensive.

The suction is excellent and sucks up almost all the dust, which is excellent because it keeps the work space cleaner from sawdust.

The sander works really well, it is lightweight so your hand doesn't get tired even if sanding a vertical column. It makes a nice smooth finish that is so much better than the unsanded wood.

The velcro is very strong and holds the sandpaper on tightly. If you were worried about it being velcro as opposed to clipping on, don't be! This sandpaper isn't going anywhere. It holds on very tightly. Only way it will come off is if you pull it off.

Also the sander is not very loud, which is also a good thing. You can hear it, but it's not very loud.

I would say it's even FUN using the sander! Like now I want to start sanding lots of things! Before without this sanding felt like a chore but now I actually WANT to sand things!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who needs a sander! I wasted money on a hand sander before getting this, now I regret getting the hand sander because this is so much better! :)

Ergonomic, Hypoallergenic, and Great for Small Hands

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Black and Decker RO100 is sturdy, usable, hypoallergenic, and great for the small hand. I have been using this sander for over a year now, and I am VERY happy with it.

This sander is strong, it comes with a good warranty, and it holds up well. You will have to buy better sanding discs than the one that is included (it lasted about one day’s worth of use), but that is to be expected. I like how sturdy it feels: the sander does the work for you, you just have to guide its direction.

The neatest (and incredibly helpful) feature on this product is the dust catcher (let’s hear it for hypoallergenic)! Very little sawdust escapes the vacuum bag, and you simply pull it out and dump the contents in the trash - very easy.

I have a small hand, and the handle on the sander fits into the palm of my hand very nicely. The handle is a bit bigger than the palm of my hand, but ergonomically I think it works well. I’d rather the handle be bigger than too small. It is comfortable. I like that I don’t have to squeeze hard in order to sustain a firm and comfortable grip. My hand is not easily tired holding this sander.

Works well for the home DIY'er

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

This sander worked pretty well for the first year. The the sanding pad started to wobble and the randomness of the pad was transitioning into full circles. Luckily the sander was still under warranty and so I had the sander repaired. Turns out that some plastic part had worn down and had to be replaced. Perhaps I push too hard when I sand. But after 6 months of being repaired, the same thing happened again.

I was happy with the performance over the first year, but I think I'm now going to upgrade to a more rugged sander. This sander should be fine if you don't build a lot of stuff. It lasted me through making 5 bookcases and 4 sections do cabinets.

Great overall sander.

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

This was my first orbital sander purchase and has been so far in my opinion worth every penny I put into it.

Good points to it is that it's light weight, maneuverable, the velcro pad makes changing out grits easy. It's one of the cheaper units out there and is pretty durable. (I dropped this thing a few times on it's ass already and it didn't care) So far I've done a large flower box with it, 3 shelves, a shelving unit, computer desk and storage bed. All with no issues or complaints on how this thing performed. It was even able to sand down a few board ends I didn't cut quite the same size to uniform sizes within a few minutes of messing with it. Also the price makes this thing a total steal for what it does.

Probably not as good as some of the really expensive ones I've seen but if you're a beginning woodworker or even if you're a little seasoned project maker and looking for one to do jobs around the house. I'd recommend this one. I haven't tried anything like doing a whole deck with thsi guy but I think it could do it, just not nearly as well as some of the others.

Bad points to it would be the switch (maybe next time a push button instead of a rubber rocker switch or change where you position it. It wasn't hard to press, maybe just awkward to me) better suction (it did collect a lot of the dust but I still had some of it flying around as I was sanding. Maybe the hooking up of a vacuum to it's port would be better as some of the others people reviewing this found) The varied orbital speed and vibration is weird at first to get used to but I ended up getting used to that after the second use of it. Even though the discs are awesome for this unit it's hard to find ones that line up perfectly with the holes in the pad it uses for dust suction. (I'd say the sanding pads are somewhat pricy too but not really doesn't have anything to do with it's performance)

timoneous

Worked great for a few months and is now barely functions. Not for big jobs.

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

Used it for a few months removing paint from a garage with coarse pads from Lowes. Worked fine until just recently when the motor seemed to only want to work when I was barely touching the wood. Applying any significant pressure made the unit stop rotating. Also, it seemed as if the unit kept drawing power when it was turned off, as it was very warm after leaving it plugged in sitting on the ground in the shade. Overall it was fine at first, but I'm just glad I was able to mostly finish sanding my garage before it started acting up.

Would not recommend for large sanding projects like mine, but it should do the job if you are looking to only use it occasionally.
