DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!

I bought mine a few years back, and immediatly the plastic dust filter
cover came of. And recently ( I haven`t used it in a while) after 5
minutes of sanding the whole sanding base (the part where you attach the
sanding paper onto) came of....
Broken....

I would rate this lower than 1 of I could.

Excuse my English, I`m Dutch.

I totally agree, I bought one of these useless machines, it doesen`t do
what it claims to, ie get into corners, becaues the orbital action bounses
the sander off ajacent wood. Also the diamond shaped end will not stay
attached, and shoots off across the room every time you lift the machine
off the surface you are supposed to be sanding.
Mine is also going back to Homebace, but I have wasted money on the unused
packets of sanding sheets that I bought.
The machine is very noisey, and can`t be used for long, because the
vibration numbs your hand.
Previusly I owned a Bosh orbital sander, it was great and now I`m going to
by a another one.
Thanks for letting us know that the machine is no longer in producyion at
least I wont be wasting any more time

Bought this thinking it came with detail attachments IT DOES NOT! After a
day hunting around after the elusive attachments, I finally found a B&D
supplier who firstly, actually knew what he was talking about, however he
contacted B&D only to be told that this model is now OUT OF
PRODUCTION!!!!! So beware, I couldn`t find attachments in any stores or on
the net, mine is going back first thing tomorrow. Very very very
disappointed. B&D website is next to useless too, feedback form doesn`t
even work and there wasn`t a phone number on the entire site. You need to
contact their dealerships! What a pain and waste on a
day!
