As expected of Makita this is a quality product, quiet, powerful. Perfect for polishing and buffing

Solid machine, vibration for the user very good - at last I can sand in comfort for prolonged spells

Great piece of kit.. well made and surprisingly quiet..My Henrietta hoover that I have attached is actually louder! I don't often use the handle as it slightly restricts the working area.. but it's a comfy shape. Bought myself a backing protector for the hook and loop pad and I use netting pads to get the most out of the extraction when my hoover is attached...sanding down plaster walls WITHOUT getting covered in dust 1

This seems to be Mid range price, but could not see significantly different features on more expensive ones. Have found it to be excellent. The larger discs give good coverage, the sander is a good weight and so minimum hand pressure required. Also very little vibration. I would still use a belt sander for removing from rougher wood at speed and then use the orbital for a great finish.
