I buy this sander after try the Dewalt and have it die in about 15min of work . after research other sander , I discover B&D; own porter-cable and delta , along with Dewalt . since every B&D; tool I have ever purchase fail , I be hesitant to give B&D; my money . I choose the Bosch after compare with its twin , the Ryobi be321 . the sander be well balanced and comfortable in you hand . it take a little get use the `` brick '' design , but the egornomic be great . it have the power to get the job do . the dust colletion be average . Afterall , it be a belt sander ! I would recommend this sander to anyone .
