                  Not so great
                  When I got it I turned it on so I can see if it worked and sanded some small pieces of wood, but when I got to the front steps , which is what I was hoping to do, it smoked up and stopped. I had to use my palm sander (not Ryobi) I guess some Ryobi tools I need to rethink on.

                    Not worth the money
                    I only used this twice. Once was a small table top, it worked fine for that. The second was sanding joints on a floor, it died not even 1/4 way through. I like Ryobi but this is ridiculous. This should have lasted much longer than it did.

                      Failed after 30min of use.
                      I’ll likely be returning this for a refund. That’s not good! To put it in perspective — it lasted about 30 minutes of sanding. After tax, that works out to roughly $3.47 per minute of use. Oddly enough, it actually performed well on its first (and only) project, which makes this even more disappointing. I was really hoping to use this for many more projects down the road — this was just the first of many I had planned. I hope they’ll refund the full amount for the sander and the unopened pack of sanding belts I purchased with it.
                      by
                        I enjoyed using this belt sander right out of the box. It came with a fairly coarse paper so I bought some fine. I have had success with my Ryobi tool collection and this sander didn’t disappoint. Easy to use. I especially like the variable speed control trigger. Only purchased it this past Saturday. I was hoping that I’d find a cordless version but I settled for the corded one.

                        Only useful for light duty
                        I’m not hard on tools. I use them for the purposes they were designed for. I bought this a month ago and used it lightly for various tasks around the shop. Now that weather has changed it was time to prep the deck for repainting. After working on about 10% of the deck the sander would not spin the sanding belt when put to use. It would spin the belt when not under any load. Upon tear down the nut that appears to be the only thing providing coupling to the drive roller had round out its mounting. See attached image. This tool is fine for light (very light) duty but for anything else? That’s a hard no. The engineer who designed/approved the drive roller should be forced to sand a deck by hand.

                            Worth the price
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it a year and a half ago. I probably have less than 10 hours on it. It works great for the little heavy sanding I need done.

                              Ryobi 3X18 belt sander
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received this belt sander as a gift. I needed something I can handle. I'm in my mid 60's it seems well balanced for home and craft projects. Easy to change the belts. Looking forward to years of use. A few issues it has is very loud with a high pitch sound. I was just running the sander for 2 minutes with out any contact I noticed it got very warm with warm air coming from the dust bag shoot. I know it's not brushless. I hope this is normal. Time will tell.

                                We used this to sand our deck. It worked great! Better than the ones we had been using for this project.
