MAXXT Electric 5mm Random Orbital Sander, Brushless 350W 3A Palm Sander, Multi-function Variable Speed Electric Corded Orbital Sanders Machine with 6Inch Sanding Pad, 10 Sanding Paper for Woodworking

I picked up this sander to save on having to run the air compressor for smaller sanding jobs where I'd normally use a 3M DA sander. I am someone who has a lot of tools, more so than most any sane person needs, and normally stick to the name brands out there. I can count on one hand how many power tools I have that are from a lesser known manufacturer. WIth that said, when I received this sander, opened it up, and inspected it, I was pretty darn pleased with the quality. About the only thing that isn't super high quality is the dust extraction hose, but I kind of expected that. At least it came with a hose. I had a project where I was refinishing a Turbo Chef oven, and thought this sander would be perfect for that project. Wow is all I can really say. It's super quiet at speeds 3 and below, and very smooth. I love that it has the paddle like a normal air DA sander, and it worked flawlessly. I did use dust extraction hooked to a small Shopvac using an additiona 10' hose, and the dust extraction was decent. I ran this sander for a couple hours while I prepped various parts and it was a pleasure to use. I'm glad I saved a few bucks and went with this sander, and will be putting it through another much larger project for an automotive refininishing job coming up soon. Based on how it performed for me during my most recent project, I'm fully confident it will do a great job. If you're looking for a good alternative to a DA sander and don't mind the cord, this is a great option.

I love that it has both a 5 and 6 inch sanding head. Compared to Rigid sander this one replaced, it vibrates so much less than my old one which helps eliminate swirling. It's also much faster and had no issue bogging down even on broad end grain. The dust collection pretty good, it was very convenient that it came with it's own hose to hook up to the shop vac. I have noticed a bit of dust build-up around where the sanding head attached to the sander itself, but this might be because I only have it connected to a shop vac with a dust separator and not a higher end dust extractor or dust collector. I've had this sander for about a week, it's gotten a solid 10 hours of use on cherry, plastic and epoxy and I love it so far with no real complaints. The only thing I would consider even a slight complaint is the provided sand paper hardly lasted a few minutes before all of the grit rubbed off of it, but that's not even something worth considering overall.

When it worked, it worked great, best sander I've gotten to use. Then the paddle contact part failed on me, turns on, just doesn't rotate. Contacted customer support, gave them all the information they asked for, said it was under warranty and that they will send a return label to have it replaced. A month later and nothing has been emailed to me. I've sent some follow up emails asking about it and still no response. Not happy.

I've used a number of popular orbital sanders but I bought this one as an upgrade. This thing is fantastic. It's so much quieter than my Ridgid and much more adjustable and comfortable to use. The switch is sturdy and works well. It doesn't buck like some sanders do when they kick on... It quickly spools up, which is a nice touch. I wouldn't say it weighs any less but is well balanced. The shop vac when hooked up does a good shop of grabbing most of the saw dust. Not much of any cleanup needed. Great sander for the money. Don't go cheap on sanders because almost every wood project you do you have to use it. It's one of the most used tools in your shop even if you hate using it.

I bought this sander after watching a ton of YouTube videos about it. I have an inflammatory disease that causes extreme pain in my hands, so I bought this to help. It really has very low vibration and helps to avoid "the tingles" felt after long sanding sessions. You really could operate it by holding a pencil eraser-side-down on it. That stated, my expectations may have been too high, because I was expecting it to work like magic after the videos I watched. It's not a bad sander; it just didn't cut through stock like I saw on some of the videos. It sands down at about the same rate as my regular, cheap orbital sander. I was also concerned about longevity, so I paid for the 4 year extended warranty plan. So all-in-all: Pros: - Very, very low vibration - Comfortable to use - No problems with swirl/squiggle marks on your work - Adjustable speed settings - The dust hose works surprisingly well Cons: - Pricey - The dust hose connector does not fit my small or large shop vacs or dust collector All in all I'm going to keep it. But I would not make a purchase this pricey without the extended warranty.

The Max XT 5" orbital sander is the best sander I have ever purchased! This is the first sander that hooks up to my dust collector. I never realized how much dust was left on the wood I was sanding. The sand paper I use lasts much longer. I also like the speed adjustment that is highlighted by a light bar on the top of sander. Another good feature is the on/off paddle on top of the sander. Lift your hand and the sander turns off. This sander has the longest cord I have ever seen on a sander. I haven't measured it but it is easily over 10 feet! The only down side of the sander,(and could be just me) is that with the air hose and the cord the sander are a bit heavy for my 76 year old hands. Yep, this was a good purchase. I forgot the con about this sander was the sand paper. The sample they included is much better than all the sand paper I have purchased in the past. Now I always compare the sanding job with the ones I have done with their sand paper and I am a bit sad...

What a great item for the price. I have been looking at some sanders for a long time, but I could never justify the cost for my DIY small project stuff. Then I found this one, checked the reviews, looked for videos online (not many out there). I decided to take a leap of faith and give it a shot, and boy am I glad I did. This thing feels high end, works great (I am an amateur) and was a reasonable price point. Dust collection works well at keep particulates at a lower level, cord is more than long enough, and the switches/buttons feel well built. Overall I am thrilled to have found this brand and this sander, I am eager to try some other items in their tool system. I do have a review vid but I am not able to post it here (search for it), it keeps removing my review. Feel free to ask any questions. It's really nice to find a decent quality tool at a reasonable price point. Take Care.

I love this sander! I've only ever used low end sanders- super top heavy, insane vibration, barely any dust collection. I can't compare this to something like a festool, but short of a robotic arm to do the sanding for me, I can't think of anything else I'd want or need. I got this during Prime day sale, and I'm delighted about the value- performance vs cost, you really can't go wrong with this. Dust collection is excellent- I barely noticed any with my shop vac hooked up. It's well balanced so the dust hose doesn't yank it off the table when you put it down. It's comfortable in my hand and I barely notice the vibration. The noise is well below that of my shop vac. I've only done some small projects so far, but if I had to do hours of sanding I don't think it would be all that bad now. This item came with only the 6" head for a slightly lower cost; the 5" head can be purchased separately and the cost works out the same to buying it all in one set. The sanding discs that came with it weren't bad, seemed to dull quickly, but all together I had a beautifully smooth finish with no pigtails. If you're on the fence about the maxXT I say- Do it! I think you'll be pleased.
