Also, who has the time and energy to downvote Milwaukee deal hacks? Every comment in every post has a couple negatives at some point. Maybe they get upvoted as time goes on but it seems like spitting into the wind.

Some people separate the battery for pickup instead of delivery or to delivery at another location and never pick it up, hoping for an automatic return.
I once had a store manager insist on trying to complete the pickup order no matter what he had to do, but customer service finally intervened and got me a credit.
It's easier to just return the battery at the store if you are doing a pickup.

After you pick the tool up, cancel the battery via HD app or website. There's a small chance you may have to call the store that the battery was ordered to to cancel (it's happened for 3/10 of my hack orders the past year)
The strongest argument I've read in favor of it says that it's good for small, quick tasks. But for $129 bare tool? I'd just get a bargain bin cordless ROS.

My one complaint is the switching of the dust collection attachments that you mention. It's like they want you to pick either using a vac or using the far inferior onboard dust collector because switching is impossible without breaking a plastic tab that keeps it together.
Otherwise pretty happy, it's not like this is 2x the price of alternatives and if you're already in the team red system it's a moot point IMO and you get in my experience a superior product.

When you're too negative, Slickdeals/loyalist/fanboys go on the offensive.
When you're too positive, the deal heads to frontpage, flippers suppress comments/rating to allow time to hoard.
Speak your research/comparative analysis truths, stand corrected when corrected, ignore the noise.
This sander runs on 18V and has the Milwaukee (quality-most-of-the-time) premium, so maybe that. If reviews are positive and can't wait till fuel version comes out, maybe it's a decent HD type price.
