Random Orbit Sander PEX 220 A

Excellent machine - I have the smaller version, but it was struggling to go through some really stubborn factory lacquer and stain. This ate through 7 grades of a large dresser and a chest of drawers In a day. Very impressed with the speed and dust collection, especially considering how small, light and easy to use it is.

I recently purchased the Bosch Home and Garden Random Orbit Sander to tackle some sanding projects around my home, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The sander is easy to use, lightweight, and has a powerful motor that can handle a variety of surfaces. I appreciate the random orbit feature, which helps to eliminate swirl marks and ensures a smooth finish every time. The dust collection system is also impressive. It efficiently sucks up the majority of dust and debris, leaving behind a clean work area. The sander is also designed with an easy-to-remove dust collector, making it a breeze to clean out and maintain. Overall, the Bosch Home and Garden Random Orbit Sander is a great tool for any DIY enthusiast or homeowner looking for a reliable and efficient sander. It has exceeded my expectations and made my sanding projects a breeze. Highly recommend!

I’ve had this sander for over a year now, and used it for numerous decorating and wood working jobs. It’s great as a sander. Has been up to all tasks, never failed, and has been really effective. I’ve had to replace the head after heavy use, but that’s probably my fault from inexperienced use and burning out areas of the Velcro hooks. Main problem is dust extraction. Don’t count on any collection. If sanding a wall, the whole house will be full of dust immediately without plastics up. Not sure if this is just the way it is as I’ve never had another sander, but I am now on the lookout for a sander with active extraction rather than this passive system.

I was a little wary of buying this sander due to some of the other reviews people have given on Amazon but thought for the price I would give it a go. As per usual my review is split into a quick short review and a longer detailed version: Short Review PROS - Reasonably Priced - Standard 125mm size - so easy to get replacement abrasives that don't have to be Bosch - Surprisingly Powerful - Easy to Control with one hand - Dust Collection is more or less a pro - Solid build quality - had stood up to a bit of abuse CONS - No soft start - this is a minor thing and not expected at this price point - No case / bag - again not really expecting one at this price - No speed controls - would have been nice and would only have cost pence to add a speed controller to it Detailed Review As I said above I wasn't expecting much with this sander given it has received it's fair share of negative reviews on here but given it was from Bosch a brand a normally trust and it was cheap enough especially compared to other big brand sanders I decided to roll the dice on it. I have used it daily in my workshop for the past two months now and I have had no problems with it. I am not one of these people that spends more time cleaning their tools than using them so as a result it's already had a tough life of abuse in my shop from getting trailed around by it's lead / cord to this 18 stone gorilla bearing down on it plus it's easily been dropped from the bench onto the floor half a dozen times and it's powered on without any problems. I thought that it might be a bit under powered at 220w but I was pleasantly surprised at it's power and whilst it is easy for me to control with one firm hand it does take a bit of pressure to keep it under control. It performs very well on a wide range of hardwoods I work with such as Walnut, Cherry and Oak and assuming you use decent abrasive discs ie. not the cheapest ones you can find and know how to sand properly which I know you do then it really does perform very well. I am more of a Makita than a Bosch man but given the price of this unit compared to a similar spec'ed Makita model it was less than half the price and apart from perhaps a soft bag / case and a speed controller I fail even as a die hard Makita fan to see where the difference in performance would be. I suppose time will tell as to how long it will live for but given the abuse it's received to date without missing a beat the odds are looking good however I will adjust this review if it does die a premature death so if you are reading this then it's still going strong. The dust collection isn't bad... it's not brilliant either but it works and the little container / filter is easy enough and quick enough to empty. Granted most orbital sanders are 125mm size which is pretty much standard so makes it easy enough to buy replacement discs pretty much anywhere including the dreaded B&Q if in a pinch. Yes it would of been nice to have a hoover attachment (which is sold separately), a bag / case but neither were expected given the price but the lack of a speed controller switch which would have cost Bosch literally pence to include did feel a bit mean but I suppose the cost savings have to show somewhere. Not really sure why other reviewers have had bad experiences with their sanders... perhaps a bad batch or maybe too heavy handed.. I don't know but as far as my experience goes I would recommend it.

The Bosch Home and Garden Random Orbit Sander PEX 220 is a reliable and powerful tool for any DIY enthusiast or professional. The sander is lightweight and easy to handle, making it comfortable to use for extended periods of time. The random orbit motion ensures a smooth and even sanding finish, while the variable speed control allows for precision and control over the sanding process. The dust extraction system is efficient, keeping your work area clean and reducing the amount of dust in the air. The only minor drawback is that the sanding pads can be a bit expensive to replace. Overall, I highly recommend the Bosch PEX 220 for its performance, durability, and ease of use. It is a valuable addition to any workshop or toolbox.

I wish i'd bought this sooner. I've used this numerous times now for general DIY tasks and found it perfect for for prepping and smoothing off areas prior to decorating. I've used it on both wood and painted walls with great results. The item is lightweight and can easily be operated with only one hand and fits in your palm nicely so feels comfortable to hold. It has a filter and small dust collector on it but no matter how careful you are with it you will still get dust everywhere so it would still be wise to wear a mask when using. Would definitely recommend this especially if you know you will get a few uses out of it. Worth the investment.

I purchased this to sand down a number of planks - a job I thought was small but actually was mammoth. First sander to arrive stopped working entirely but I had a replacement within days thankfully. All in all an ok product if you’re doing basic jobs around the house. The filter clogs up super quickly - I probably spent more time trying to knock out the residue than I did sanding at the end. Speed is ok - 1 setting on/off. Plugged into mains (personal preference). Small and compact, and good grip - perfect for the long hours tbh

I bought this principally to do sanding on some kitchen cutting boards I was making. I have a selection of Bosch tools already and when I spotted this on offer, it was a quick decision. Despite what another review says, this DOES have a soft start. That means you can place it on the material being sanded and then turn it on. Much better than turning it on and then placing it on the material as this offer a real risk of immediate jumping and swirl marks. You just need to let it do it's job. Don't apply any more pressure than is necessary to stop it wandering around, take it slow and easy and, if sanding wood, work along the grain. The risk of trying to hurry things and / or applying too much downward pressure is the dreaded swirl marks that are then a real pain to get rid of. It isn't over noisy, and the vibration is perfectly acceptable. It's comfortable to hold. The dust collection box is very good. I was pretty surprised when I saw how much sawdust came out of it after I'd finished my work which, in this case (for the cutting board project) involved multiple sanding with various grit sandpaper, starting at 80 and finishing at 240. The result is a surface that is unbelievably smooth. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Prodotto molto buono

El producto ha funcionado bien. Lo único que después de utilizarlo 3 veces y sin mucha intensidad(2 horas en total de trabajo) ha dejado de funcionar y lo he tenido que devolver. La verdad es que me esperaba más de la marca Bosch

Bought this device and I was sent a used one. I'll will soon order it again. I hope that it will come brand new one. Other wise the review 1 stars stays.
