That being said, I also hate this sander. My Festool was off for repairs so I bought this to use in the meantime and to have as an extra for my girlfriend. I understand that they're 2 totally different price brackets but compared to my Festool this is basically a hand vibrator with some sanding capabilities. It's absolutely awful to use.
If you're a woodworker and need to sand a lot, don't bother with this. If you're a DIYER who needs one occasionally, this will get the job done for $53. Just don't use it for more than 20-30 minutes at a time.

Home Depot, Amazon and Lowes have had this for $59. I had this in my cart at Amazon and was waiting for another price drop. It dropped to $53, so I posted it.

I own the Bosch ROS20VSC. It has been around since 2013, and even now continues to win review comparison tests. For example, Popular Mechanics judged it "best overall sander" [popularmechanics.com] just a couple of months ago. It also has very high reviews on the web sites of Amazon, Lowes and Home Depot.
And the specs for the Bauer and Bosch are completely different. For example:
- Bosch 12,000 OPM vs Bauer 13,000 OPM
- Bosch has a 2.5 amp motor vs. Bauer has 2.8 amp motor.
- Bosch weight 3.5 lbs vs. Bauer weight 3.39 lbs
- The dust collection systems are completely different.
- The body shapes are completely different.
The Bauer sander and the Bosch sander are completely different tools, so your bad experiences with the Bauer sander are completely irrelevant here.Slickdeals is a valuable tool, but users who post false information can do real harm to the reputations of manufacturers, and do a real disservice to the users of this site.
