This is not a longevity review as I have not owned the product for very long. I’ve used it to sand 3 cabinets so far. That being said I find the sound level good, the amount of vibration to my hand good, the dust collection is good and it’s effectiveness is good. I therefore consider this a good tool and am happy with this purchase. I have not used many other orbital sanders and this is the only cordless. I have other DeWalt cordless tools and four batteries so have thrown my lot in with Dewalt. So far I’m not disappointed.

I purchased this product so that I could polish a table top with very fine sanding disks (up to 10000 grit).It did a pretty good job at this. I started working with a 5 AH battery, but it was too heavy on one side, and unbalanced the sander. Even with a small (1.5 AH) battery, it was a little unbalanced. But the 1.5 AH battery doesn't last too long, and requires frequent recharging ( maybe after 15 min of sanding). This is the first random orbit sander that I have used, so I cant compare it with others, although I like the fact that it doesn't have a cord. As far as how long it will last, time will tell. Bob

Definetly need to have a spare battery charged for long projects. I got through 3-4 standard size cabinet doors with each, not enough lag as battery got low to cause swirl marks. Definetly compares to the air orbital i used to use in quality of finished product. Bag doesn't pull in much but one could easily maguiver a shop vac in it's place for cleaner workspace

It is a great tool like all the Dewalt ones. It is very practical not having a power cord. A 5Ahr battery can last about 30 minutes to an hour of full-power use, so it is good to have a backup battery for complex jobs. Overall I am happy about it.

Easy to handle... even with larger 4 hr. battery. 10 speed settings... was only using #1 for smoothing a surface and seemed like plenty of power. Moreover, when you turn off the power the wheel stops on a dime!
