Customer Reviews for DEWALT 20V MAX XR Cordless Brushless 5 in. Random Orbital Sander with (1) 20V Battery 2.0Ah and Charger

Great to use, and easy to hold... Does exactly what it is supposed to do!

I used this for max 2 hours doesn't work at all now notices a rubber belt was broken on the inside of the Velcro wheel These should last longer than 2 hours for the price

Have used this alot and does a great job. Pros and cons to having it battery operated. I like the flexabilty of not messing around with a power cord, but I go through batterys really quickly... I dont know if the sander drains the battery really quickly or if i need to buy new batterys! I like the setting to change power output from low to more powerful.

It's so easy to use!

"20volt Magic" is what they should call this puppy. Tyler said the corded version would work better, but then he tripped over the cord. So, battery power it is. I use this to sand down small projects around the house and even have a photo to show some of the work it does. Not bad and yes it even hammers in the nails. Good multi-tool and no cords to trip you up. Also works great with other lithium batteries from the Walt. The dust bag is really small tho and doesn't hold a lot. So I just take it off and complain to myself about how much saw dust there is.

To the 1 star reviewer "beaverfood", the DWV9000 universal adapter fits 1 1/4" vacuum hose, NOT the shroud on the end of the hose, the actual hose itself. That is why the inside is threaded, to screw onto your vacuum hose. Also, why give the sander a negative review because of that? Not knowing how to use a tool is a poor reason for a negative review.

The Dewalt 20V XR Random Orbit Sander DCW210B was very easy to assemble works great! Fits in your hand perfect with controls at yourfingertips. I would definitely recommend this sander.

Sander doesn’t want to release the batteries after the release is pushed. Still comes out with a little force though.

Been wanting this since it came out. Finally got it and glad i did. I mainly make stuff for my kids out of wood. Wagons,signs for their walls,their names,toys,team logos etc etc. This makes it so easy to just whip out and sand away. Has plenty of power and uses 8 hole orbital sandpaper. I bought the bare tool for 119.99. Comes with nice dust catcher that easily goes on and off.Has variable speed which is nice. Happy i picked it up. Grab one you wont be disapointed

Great powerful sander

Lightweith and super compact. Fits perfect in your hand.

I love this new cordless sander. As a woodworker and weekend carpenter I have used my fair share of different Sanders and dewalt has always produced quality products. This sander is no exception. It has plenty of power and the fact that it is cordless makes it a powerful weapon in my tool arsenal. The only drawback I have with this product is its ergonomics. My previous dewalt palm Sanders fit the hand very well and are comfortable in multiple handling positions. This sander however is a little on the heavy side (even without the battery) and it is larger than dewalts previous palm Sanders. This makes for an awkward fit in the hand in comparison to other models. I'm sure that with time I will adjust to its size. Overall it's a great product, worth every penny!

This is the best cordless sander on the market This sander is extremely well balanced and has power. It has a variable speed option which is really nice to have it also has a brake built in that stops the sanding pad extremely fast that way as soon as you set it down it wont take off on you. The only thing I do not like about this sander is that if you want to hook this up to your shop vac you will need to buy a special dewalt adaptor that allows you to do so.

A genuine game changer. This has essentially the same power as the corded version (with speed adjustment) but no cord. Seems like a simple difference but this will be the one you reach for every time. I have a dozen handheld power sanders but this is the one I keep in my truck, for wherever I go. I couldn't be happier with a sander, and I could not recommend this more highly.

We do lots of woodworking DIY and also build items (ie Wine Carriers) for sale. We have made the decision to invest in cordless replacement tools as that is definitely the way of the future woodworker. This is far better than any of the corded models we have , it lasts forever, even on hard woods and plastics and it is so easy because you are not fighting the cord. You don't have to take your project to the electrical outlets for these tools, just take the tools to the projects. Try just one and you will be amazed at how well they work. We are saving to buy the cordless router and will let you know how that works also.

this sander is FANTASTIC !. I have been looking for this for the past two years. I am tired of tripping over electrical cords. I saw this in the store ad on Oct. 31, and waited in line while they unpacked them, and bought one !. It is well balanced. for the best balance, i recommend the 2AH battery. it will handle the larger batteries, but is slightly off-balance for me with them, and heavier. That is not a FAULT of the machine, htat is just because of battery weight. so I bought a couple 2AH batteries on sale, and i use these for my one-handed dewalt tools - the cordless nailer, the orbital sander, and the brushless drill, make it easier to operate. actually the 2AH battery lasts for a while; for longer sanding, the bigger batteries are fine. it sands very well. the power switch is easy-on easy-off (prior cordless one was harder to operate, under the rubber protector. The BATTERY slot is a cool design, it has a rubber gasket in it to prevent dust from entering the contacts. i adapted my shop vacuum system to this. 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 flexible pvc coupling, FENCO, home depot model P1056-125 plumbing adapter fits onto this unit very nicely. it ALSO fits onto the dewalt 7 1/4 inch circular saw dust collector port;, AND it fits (loosely) onto the dewalt biscuit cutter. for the Biscuit cutter, you can add material to the tool port, small rubber overlay, or something, electrical tape wound around, to build it up, and then this adapter fits perfectly. THEN, you can take the other end of this adapter, and fit it onto any of your dust collection hoses, make custom size adapters, etc. the dust bag attaches Ok, and is fair at collecting dust; same as other corded/cordless uints, but an attached vacuum is much better. variable speed works very well. Power is more than adequate. the finish (with 220 grit) is very smooth even with a dust collection tube on it (I use 1 1/2 inch sump pump tubing, about 6 feet, and this connects to my actual vacuum tube. This sump tubing is very flexible, allows easy mobility of the sander while working. this same tubing can be slipped onto your dewalt portable vacuum; you can come up with some type of flexible adaptation to match the tubes overall VERY nice, and very flexible ! Dewalt, you did a great job !

I couldn't wait for this sander to come out. Dewalt is finally getting on board with adding to their 20v line (cordless router is coming out Spring 2019). Dewalt makes great products and for the home woodworking hobbyist like me, I needed this random orbit sander. I use a 4.0 amp battery and haven't timed it, but it seems like the battery will never run out. It's been on 2 bars for a long time, it seems. And to top it all off, when I turn it off, the sander stops immediately. Not slow down to a stop. It just stops. It's amazing. If you are already vested in the Dewalt platform, this is a must get. If you're not invested in it, then you should buy the kid because this thing is sturdy and powerful.

Sander works well with smaller battery with larger battery i.e. 4 or 5 AH it's a little unbalanced.

Well I used this to sand rhe posts and rails on my new handrail. It died after a week of sanding on and off. Home Depot replaced it with no problem. Expected more longevity. Will use a corded on where outlets are within reach in the future

This is a Good product

Love DeWalt tools in general, but sometimes... Good luck replacing the hook & loop sander pad when it wears out, as they do. DeWalt doesn't seem to sell a replacement. I also have a DeWalt gyroscopic screwdriver which I like, but when I wanted a second battery --- had to buy a Chinese-made model. DeWalt doesn't sell the replacement battery for that either. Looking for a new sander...

Convenient and compact product.
