Sander works right out of the box. Did a great job prepping my bathroom walls and doors for painting. the dust collector does a better than expected job at limiting the amount of spackle dust I had to deal with. If the space wasn’t so small I’d have been able to hook it up to a shop vac and probably would have eliminated even more. Left a smooth surface without much of a noticeable sanding pattern.

I purchased this to have a quality orbital sander that hopefully wouldn’t vibrate like my cheap one does. This is a real smooth operating sander and I really like the way the dust bag twists off. It has plenty of power and doesn’ fatigue my hand like the cheap one does if I’m doing a lot of sanding. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star rating was because of the soft start feature. I don’t put it on the wood until it is going full speed so that soft start feature is worthless to me. Other than that I really like it. I did see where Ridgid has a six inch sander that had more power but I have never seen six inch sanding discs where as five inch discs are available everywhere.

Sander works excellent less mess and less dust. Using to sand automotive paint. Sander stays cool doesn’t seem to be overheating. Seems like the normal rigid line probably gonna be very durable. Only time will tell. But my experience most rigid tool seem to hold up very well and I pretty much can do a pretty good torture test on them.

Appreciate the slow start up, for someone with arthritis in both hands its nice to not have the tool start off jumping on the piece being sanded …. the exhaust feature through the dust port is excellent and when hooked up with my vacuum I feel confident not wearing a mask. The grip contour is excellent on the hands and seems to reduce fatigue while sanding unlike others I have used. Have been using for a while on several projects and I’m completely satisfied with this orbital sander from Ridgid!
