It's a decent sander which makes short work of what can be a tedious task.As with most of these sanders I don't find the dust collection box particularly efficient. It's better than my previous model which just used to blow off as soon as I turned the machine on - this one stays put. However, due to the openings which you need to allow the air flow, much of the dust escapes.It's for a wide area as it doesn't have a detailing section, so if you're looking for a sander for delicate work then this won't be it. If you're looking for a decent sander which does a good job of block sanding - I can recommend this with the caution of making sure you sand outdoors due to the dust issue.
