Not great and not bad.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have a few small sanding jobs around the house, this unit might do just fine. However, for any real work, I would suggest going with something that has a metal body and is built a bit more reliably. The plastic guide for the belt got so hot while sanding a piece of the coarse of maybe an hour, that it melted and sheered right off. I was still able to use the unit, but I know constantly have to play with the belt adjustment to keep the belt on track.
The dust collection sack does work pretty well, compared to other home gamer products I have used in the past and it does feel pretty solid in your hands. Just does not seem to be built for any semi-pro use.

Decent sander
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this for the price to redo my oak stair treads. Comes with 60 grit belt. but I used 80 grit. Works fine and you will need to watch the adjustment for the belt alignment to keep it aligned part of the time. I did like the front flip guard to keep you off the wall if needed. You can flip it up when needed as well. The handle also adjusts. Clamp lever is a little hard. I noticed the trig lock didnt spring back to normal after a few times. But it still works. Overall it worked good for the money. I used an oscillating tool to get the corners and edges.

Light duty sander
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sander handled fine and did a good job. I would recommend this for only light duty work though. The housing is all plastic and there is a lot of heat generated if this runs for any length of time and the plastic will melt. In fact it melted in several places including the belt drive which got so hot it melted to the housing and quit working all together. By the way I only used it for a week. My guess this sander would work best for only 10 to 15 minutes at a time and then let cool down. Unfortunately, my project proved too big for this tool and I probably should have spent more money on a heavier duty one. Overall, it works good and will do fine for the small project occasional sanding. However, if you have a large project such a sanding a deck or floor, you probably should go with a different sander.

Price Plus Power!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Noth comes close to this craftsman belt sander. Put a low grit on and be careful because blink and you could lose your project. The good thing is it light so you can really control it without feeling like your fighting gravety too. I'd by it again 3vtines and still spend less then the next in price line. Of and the way the front belt opens up means you can look at what your sanding... like it should be with no Touch for a second, Look, Repeat. Well done craftsman!

Quality product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this piece of equipment, took it home, opened the box and comes with an 80 grit belt already on it. I used mine to sand down a cypress slab for a desk and it worked very well.
If I only wish one thing for an improvement, it would be a little higher rpm. The power is sufficient and I am overall very satisfied with this belt sander.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this on black friday. It's a great sander, shame it's mostly plastic. But for the price I wouldn't expect it to be metal. Do have to keep adjusted the belt so it won't rub. Not a huge problem. I would buy it again though.

Joke to Dust Collection
I've had this sander for about a year now. Does this unit do it's job. Eh. Yes it removes material, but the dust collection is a joke. First the bag it uses is pitifully small and leads to serious overheating issues. Second, the dust collection/exhaust port is some goofy oval port that doesn't fit a standard vac attachment. In fact, to get rudimentary dust collection and to keep the unit from over heating I have to pinch down a 3" hose over the port and screw it into the body of the sander. It's a joke at best.
To top it off the platten design lead you to easily rock the sander slightly on the longitudinal axis, leading to less than perfectly smooth faces. I would recommend saving your money and buying something better, even if it costs twice as much. You'll be happier in the long run.
