SKIL 5” Random Orbital Sander with Cyclonic Dust Box & 3pc Sanding Sheet - SR211601, Multicolor

I'm finishing a 4 bedroom house. I have 3 kids who are helping me sand floors and steps. I had a cordless Dewalt sander and bought this sander as an extra back up. Everyone was fighting over the SKIL sander. The power was better than the other brand. We didn't have to worry about the battery dying in the middle of the project. I absolutely love the sturdy plastic dust collector. It actually works and you can bump it, it's not flimsy, and it actually collects the dust without getting filthy. This is a affordable powerhouse that gets the job done! Love it!

Works well .Container that catches dust has a good design.Have enjoyed using it.

I used this to sand down paint and rust off a lawnmower deck. It worked really well but I was blown away by the dust collection. I normally wear a mask however after a few swipes with the dust collector on, I didnt need one. No mess other than blowing the dust bin out. Also, while sitting for a year it was a tight fit getting the dust collector on. A little dielectric grease on the O ring made it an easy fit. Love this sander!

Never had a sander before and got this when I had to sand off all the "faux paint" relief in a bedroom. It worked well and I was so glad to have it rather than doing it by hand. Even though I'm a newbie with this I was able to get a smooth sanding result. Mixed feelings about the dust collector. Yes, it collected a bunch, but it also didn't collect a bunch. Definitely wear a mask when sanding - a general rule not specific to this sander. Other sanders I looked at also had dust collector issues. I have trouble removing the dust collector sometimes because it seems so tight, but I need to read the directions again. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. As for the sanding discs, I bought a variety pack of discs separately. The sander solidly holds the sanding disc in place and they are easy to change out. Be sure to align the holes of the disc with the holes of the sander to make sure you get dust collected. I also used it with a coarse sanding disc to take off 1/16" from the edge of a wooden shelf (yeah, I need to get myself a saw) and it got the job done. Since I'm new to these I didn't want to spend a huge amount of money on a top-end model. Overall I'm happy with the purchase for my various occasional DIY projects.

This is fantastic, don't know why I did not get one sooner. I had a detail sander that did okay for what I needed. An orbital sander like this 5" Skil sander made a huge difference in time and quality. The dust collect box works okay but some still come out of the side vent, still very good results, especially when using the reusable Hook and loop sanding discs which also reduces dust.

This sander works fantastic and gets the job done really well. It’s easy to handle, runs smoothly, and makes sanding projects a lot quicker and more efficient. The only thing I’d recommend is picking up some higher-quality sanding pads, as the ones included aren’t the best. With better pads, this tool really performs at its full potential. Overall, I’d 100% recommend this product great value and very reliable.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Great for drywall repair and wooden repairs. My first time using an electric sander. Easy to use for novice like me.

This has enough power and weight for smaller jobs. Used it to refinish and oil a teak outdoor bench. Teak is a soft wood and requires a light touch. This was the right tool. Also appreciate that it is corded rather than battery powered. This allowed for continuous use with no interruptions. No need for multiple batteries either making it more cost efficient

This is easily the best tool I’ve bought in a long time!! I have to sand all the walls on the main floor of my house and it’s working like a total champ!! Easy on your budget at $61, easy to use, making my diy job much more manageable!

Muy buena compra, hace más fácil el trabajo de lijado, y mejor con el sector de "velocidad," funciona perfectamente, muy buena calidad de los materiales.

Muito boa

المنتج حجمة رائع وتصميمه مناسب جدا لليد لكن ما جعلني لا استطيع استخدامة هو بقابس امريكي وجهد 120 فولت

Das Produkt konnte ich nicht prüfen, da der Stromstecker US-Format hat. Passt leider nicht in eine deutsche Steckdose. Keinerlei Hinweise auf den US-Stecker in der Beschreibung. Wirklich schade. Bei jedem anderen "Baumarkt" gibt es das Teil natürlich mit einem deutschen Stecker. Auf den 20 Euro Versandkosten bleibe ich nun sitzen.
