Customer Reviews for Skil 2.8 Amp Corded Electric 5 in. Random Orbital Sander with Dust Canister and 3 Sanding Discs

Drill has been wonderful so far. The plug-in feature allows you to sand without power drop-off. No complaints so far!

The sander came quickly, I ordered online with in-store pick-up, which was great. I have already sanded down our cedar picnic table and restained it. I love the fact that I can hook this sander up to our shop vac to catch the dust, and it catches about 99% of all the dust. It is is easy to manuver, and right side up, upside down, or sideways, it did a great job. for an inexpensive sander. This was ready to use out of the box, and I put it through it's paces immediatly and it did well.

Great Sander. Only downfall is I can not find a replacement backing pad for it

Easy to hold and control. Works great!

The whole process was easy. The only problem was the length of time for delivery

Its a great sander. Would recommend it to any small project craft person.

Exactly what I needed. The light panel definitely keeps me from digging in too hard while sanding. The dust container works but there is still some dust in the air and the container needs a lot of shaking to empty. I'll probably hook up my vac. Much better than what I had been using.

Great little machine (for sanding a staircase). But, there should be an easier way to get the sawdust out of the collection piece. Tapping it and using a small brush helps.

Just what I wanted and just as promised.

Awesome!

It did everything I needed it to and more. I love this sander and would highly recommend it.

Great for home projects. The only downside is it not having variable speed. Connecting it to my shop vac sure eliminates a lot of the dust in the air. Great price for what you get.

I like the sander because of the light weight and easy to use. The price was very reasonable.

This orbital sander is perfect for my job of sanding and refinishing a couple of small pieces of furniture and, the shipping was very fast. I am 100% satisfied.

It does the job and is comfortable to use, feels great in the hand. The filter works well. Skil is a fine choice for home use. I want efficient, durable, dependable tools for home use at an affordable price. Skil is where I look first.

We have used these Skil sanders for a few years now. They work really well and don't cost an arm and a leg. Plus they can easily be connected to a HEPA vacuum. This order for 2 more was lightening fast, they arrived in like 2 days! Thanks, great transaction.

great tool works awesome no issues thanks

I bought this to sand my painted kitchen cabinets down to their original oak wood to prepare to refinish them

If you only need a sander for one or two projects, it's fine. But it vibrates a lot which makes it tiresome to use. And the hook-and-loop pad wears out very quickly, which means if you don't replace it, it will send your sanding pads flying and will do a poor job of sanding while it is attached. I've had it for a bit but will be upgrading rather than spending money to replace the hook-and-loop pad.

Good price. Good product. We'll see how it holds up

This sander outperformed My expectations. I stripped the old finish off Our kitchen cabinet doors with ease. The dust canister catches about 85% of dust if You clean it often. I use a compressor to clean it. I just ordered another in case this one wears out and the price goes up in the future.

The dust collector is very bad!!!

Made quick work of the job that was taking me forever by hand--Sanding and restraining my wood deck chairs. The filtered dust canister worked pretty well.

really good sander for the money
