Use it in the shed for keeping the bench and floor tidy works well

Kann in der Saugleistung sicherlich nicht mit Dyson und Co. mithalten, doch wenn man schon andere Gerte der Bosch-Akkufamilie im Betrieb hat absolut empfehlenswert. ist bei uns fast tglich im Einsatz. Die Reinigung des Filters etwas umstndlich. Zubehr sehr reichhaltig, vor allem durch das lange Saugrohr bleibt der Vorwerk fter mal in der Kammer und der Bosch erledigt die kleinen Saugarbeiten in Kche und Esszimmer schnell und zufriedenstellend.

I like this item very much as I am unable to use a brush to sweep the leaves off my patio and grass. Wouldn’t be without i

Bought on an Amazon Prime day, it was excellent value for money. I have numerous pieces of Bosch equipment so I expect high quality and good performance. This fulfills both criteria. I already have the battery from my power drill but will probably buy a spare when on offer.
I only have a couple of negatives. Firstly the design is not very sexy and the colour a bit drab. Secondly, Bosch don’t make a wall bracket which is disappointing. Quite easy to make your own but a Bosch designed one would have been nice.
Apart from that I would recommend this product.

It really powerful, use clamps to hold the work and done leave in one place it will cut into the wood quite deep, not good for finish sanding but for rough timber and uneven it’s brilliant, easy belt change, and good dust collection box

I bought it mainly for cleaning the interior of the car. The suction is much better than I thought it would be. I already had two rechargeable batteries that came with my Bosch drill. They have a lower capacity than the recommended battery but still had enough power for 15 minutes cleaning. The cleaner comes with a good range of tools which have so far proved to be strong and durable. Emptying the dust etc is easy to do and the cleaning process is so much easier than using a corded vacuum cleaner.

Stripping old doors? Pah. This thing spits in the eye of old paint on old doors. Get a good selection of different-grit belts (40 and up) and away you go. Lots of dust though, so connect a vacuum to it (easy) or wear a mask. Something better than the useless COVID paper face-nappies.

havent used it yet only tested it on scrap wood. seems well made and has a good weight to it. seems easy to use, but there are things i have to learn about using it as with any new tool. overall having not used it on a proper job yet i think its a worthwhile purchase for thelong term

As i already had power4all batteries the bare hoover is good value and a handy tool to have.

This sander is ideal. I just finished a project to strip, sand, prime and paint an Adirondack chair, and next I’ll be refinishing my hardwood stairs.

Good tool as you would expect from Bosch. Dust extraction could be bette

like one of the other reviewer said ” if you have an 18v (power for all) battery already then just buy this hoover “. I had 2 batteries from a drill kit I also got from Amazon so now I can utilise them much better. The main points I like about this hoover is the suction power of which I expected a lot less the first time I turned it on ( I also have a Bosch Serie | 8 cordless vacuum cleaner that has a powered brushed and I have to say the suction power is pretty much the same on that). The other good features are the weight, ease of use and maintenance. It is not an overcomplicated device which makes it a joy to use.

Great sander. Rapid removal. The micro filter box is great too cause it keeps things clean and you can collect the dust and mix it with PVA and use it to fill any holes. It saves you buying any wood filler and it’s the same colour as your wood.

I looked and various ones before settling on this sander, as a sander on its own its very good but as a package you are paying the brand name, other sanders i looked at came with all the bells and whistles which given the write up on this unit you get the impression its the same with this but no, all you get is the sander and one belt, the clamps are extra plus you need to buy an addition housing to fit to the sander before you can use the clamps hence only two stars for value, overall if you just want a quality sander then this is the one to buy but if you want a more versatile unit try one of the others

Wir brauchten einen kleinen handlichen Sauger fr die Treppen im Haus und sind mit diesem hier mehr als zufrieden.
Die Saugleistung ist gut und bei einem Preis von 50 Euro (ohne Akku) kann man nicht mehr erwarten. Vergleichen wrde ich diese mit der Leistung der Bosch Unlimited Serie 6 in der ersten Stufe. Und die angegebene Laufzeit von ca. 20 Minuten erreicht er auch mit dem 2,5 Amper Akku.
Ich gebe ihm allerdings einen Stern Abzug weil der Staubbehlter etwas grer sein knnte und das flexible Rohr nicht im Lieferung enthalten ist. Das Rohr kostet nochmals 10 Euro und ich benutze es, bei kleinen arbeiten, fr die Stichsge oder das Multitool.

You just can’t beat Bosch for the best quality / cost performance ratio. Solid, well built sander. Mainly bought for sanding down our worktops prior to retaining but has already proved it’s worth by stopping doors slightly dragging on floors. Good dustvsystem too. Top machine. Heavy. That means solidly built!!!!. Always go with Bosch, chainsaws, angle grinder, drill high DIY use, never let me down yet.

Only had for a couple of days but very happy with this product. Suction is absolutely fine. I have also tested this for use with vacuum storage bags and it sucks out the air with no problems. Will be using this in my motorhome.

I used this to finish a sawn-timber table top. The timbers were 8″ x 2″ timbers that were glued and dowelled together to form a substantial board. The belt sander came into its own for removing all the “sawn” appearance down to a smooth finish using a variety of grades of belt. Plenty of guts in the drive mechanism and it performed faultlessly. We now have the rustic table we wanted, and I have yet another decent power-tool in my collection.

Bought this product to do 2 large floor areas that had been abused by previous home owner. Product worked well, but could not get it close enough to the floor edges. Chewed through the belts quickly and had to buy plenty of replacement belts in advance of its arrival. This is a powerful beast so keep hold tight when firing up. Keep belts away from walls as will gouge circular marks. Skirting being re-painted now. Use 40 grade belts for stubborn areas – its just quicker and easier on your time.

Good for outside work but filter doesnt stay on so would be messy for inside work.

Excellent for use on wood and keeps a steady hold so no messy cuts! You really can’t go wrong with this and at this price it’s really excellent and value for money. I have used it for over 5 months now and it still works like new so I am definitely a happy customer!

After burning out an old Silverline sander I finally stumped up for something a little more mid market. This item is more powerful and cleaner to use than the other one. To change a belt is simplicity itself and it seems to have plenty of torque when pressing fairly robustly onto the material being sanded.

It is a large item with the bag etc attached but not too heavy and certainly manageable for extended periods of use without and issue.

Great but could use speed control. Well build and dust collector worked better than expected. Buy some belts as only comes with one. Wife thinks it’s a toy car which is cool too:-). Little powerhouse too, don’t let go.

Does the biz. The included belt didn’t last very long, so I suggest you buy some belts with it – I used the Silverline 391857 pack, and they have lasted MUCH longer.
Nice machine though

Now on my second one in less than a month. First one was used to sand floor and used gently…then I noticed a burning smell and nasty vibration. After stopping machine I noticed that the plastic base on right hand side (adjustment side) was melting !!!!! The base felt extremely hot. After allowing it to cool down I tried again, but still with bad vibration and a rattle from near the front roller. So after returning it to Amazon I received a replacement machine. After using the new one I have noticed that yet again the plastic shows very slight signs of melting…but for now I’ll see how it goes and stop machine after every 10 minutes…If it gets worse then regrettably I might have to return it!! My advice is for any user to closely inspect the base unit paying close attention to the green plastic next to the metal base…any damage here will only get worse!! Other than that it is a great machine and does a great job sanding wood. Thank you Amazon for your excellent service.

My 15 year old Black and Decker finally gave up the ghost and I needed a replacement (sadly, because if it had lasted another couple of hours I wouldn’t have to get a new one for six months).

I have been making planed timber for shelves and cabinets by ripping lengths of 100mmx45mm (what I used to call 2 by 4s) into 45mmx14mm strips and then gluing them together on their thin edges to form 14mm x up to 450mm boards. The table saw doesn’t leave a smooth edge and while you can get one side reasonably flat the other side always has some peaks and troughs that need smoothing off. The severe parts here and there can be planed out but then I have been using the belt sander with 40, then 80 then 120 grit to get the wood really flat. I end up with a pretty good product and from a 2.4m piece of wood that cost me 5 and can turn out a 2.4 m piece of 14mm x 22.5mm planed wood that would have cost me four times that at the store. The cost, of course, is my time, and it is the sanding that takes the most of it. I still have a few things left to make and had just started sanding when the old belt sander made strange crunching noises and seized up.

I chose Bosch because I have a number of their tools and have found them to perform well. I read the reviews on Amazon and some other sites and chose this model. I have been extremely pleased with this sander. It must run at a higher speed than the old Black and Decker because it takes longer to run down after you let go the trigger (I noticed I had to hold it longer before putting it down). Maybe this is why it does the job so much faster than the old one — maybe two-thirds the time.

The bed is flat, which is good. My old sander had a 45 degree section at the heel where the belt returned and it used to do the occasional “wheelie”. This one is quite stable. The back handle is designed so it would be easy to hang on a hook or a dowel and it is large enough that it is quite comfortable.

There is a version, sold in Germany, that, for an extra price, includes a base that screws onto the top so it can be turned over and clamped to a bench with the belt facing up or vertically for fixed work. You can get the base as an accessory but I read reviews that said it wasn’t worth the money. I have found that the sander sits comfortably on its side (the side with the belt release) with the belt safely clearing the bench, but required a thin shim under the curve of the top edge to get it to exactly 90 degrees to the bench. It was easy to use an F clamp (with a thin piece of wood to protect the sander) to hold it firmly on the bench while I used it to finish the cut ends of the boards. It was easy to make it extremely secure and I had no concerns whatsoever about it wobbling and coming loose (with the old sander it was much more complicated to achieve this and it was never as secure).

One reviewer said they shouldn’t have made the front handle so big but it is attached with a Phillips screw.

It only comes with one belt and that belt is for you to use to test the tracking system. Mine was fine right out of the box. But I suppose if for some reason yours wasn’t set properly, it is that free belt that gets eaten as you manually adjust the settings (instructions included) rather than one you have supplied. The Silverline belts sold on Amazon fit it fine and are a great deal — order some when you order the sander.
