It has the usual Makita power, functionality and comfort to use. I love being able to just change sandpaper by pulling the discs (also from Amazon) off and putting a new one on. Makes it very easy to go through several grits of paper on a single project without major hassle. I work outside on sanding (always), with a simple face/dust mask, so I don't use the dust catcher (just sweep the sawdust (mulch) into the garden.
I just finished using it for about 3 weeks on almost a daily basis on a number of pine cabinet doors that I built, as well as stripping the finish off of some pre-finished kitchen cabinet doors and I could not be more pleased. It does the job very well with minimal hassles. The only thing it does not do is go right into the inside corners of projects... but that is not usually an issue, and it works so well on the rest of the piece that I don't mind a little hand-block time on inside corners.
This is my first random-orbital sander, and I was really impressed with how it works. It is easy to use, not as loud as many reciprocal/vibrating sanders (though I still use noise-blocking headsets when using for any length of time), easier on the hands than the usual square vibrating sanders, and does a great job. I have 5 other sanders right now, (3 are Makita) and except for the initial removal of large amounts of wood from rough stock with the powerful belt sander, this is now the go-to choice for all medium and fine sanding applications. It just works better in doing the job.
If you are looking closely at this sander... my suggestion is to go for it!
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2015
One problem: much of the dust is not collected through the eight holes in the disks/pad and into the bag. I suspect this is true of all these sanders but this dust bag is small and it falls off too easily. Makita has a $30 hose Makita 192108-A 3/4-Inch by 10-Foot Hose so I'll probably spring for Makita's hose, even at $30 which seems steep.
Update: I bought the hose and it turns out that the 3/4" hose of this product is intended to fit a 1 1/4" vacuum cleaner hose and it does fit exactly! Huge improvement. With the suction of this hose I estimate that 85% of the dust that previously went airborne is now collected by the hose.
I purchased the makita as a replacement for my old porter cable sander that died. I should have upgraded years ago. this sander works a treat.
Feels good in the hand and the action is smooth and controllable. I hook my sanders up to the vac so dust collection is not an issue and i cannot rate the dust bag but for a short time i did use it off the vac system and the collection seemed a little less effective than the Bosch.

It has done a good job, it is easy to use, it’s not too loud and despite being small in size got the job done pretty quickly.
Non brand sanding sheets work well with it ( saves me a few quid) too.
Als ich nun aber vor einer Komplettlackierung meines Rallye-Autos stehe, merkte ich schnell, dass ich mit einer Schleifleistung von 0,5 m² in knapp 45 min... Doch vielleicht endlich was neues brauche.
Also den gezeigten Artikel bestellt, da ich in Sachen Akkuschrauber sowieso schon länger auf Makita setze.
Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Der Preis und die Qualität passt perfekt und liegt genau zwischen "Billigmisst" und "Profischleifer" (die mir wirklich mit teilweise über 300€ zu teuer waren)
Der Schleifer liegt sehr gut in der Hand, überträgt nahezu keine nervigen Vibrationen und lässt sich sehr leicht und ohne Druck führen.
Die Schleifleistung ist wirklich Top. Es macht richtig Spaß damit zu schleifen und es geht auch generell ruckzuck.
Man kann entweder einen Staubsauger anschließen, oder wie ich, den beigefügten Filteraufsatz mit Papierfilter nutzen. Damit ist nahezu keine Staubentwicklung beim Arbeiten zu vernehmen.
Der Papierfilter kann später entnommen und ausgeleert werden. Danach kann man ihn ohne Probleme erneut verwenden.
Fazit: Super Teil, genau richtig für alle die mal etwas schleifen wollen, aber keine Schreiner sind, wo ein > 300€ Gerät sinn macht.
