VersatileThe PSM 200 AES has an iron-shaped, twoÂpiece sanding plate: The rear part of the sanding plate remains in position, while the delta-shaped tip is attached flexibly and can be turned. In addition to this, a square sanding plate is also supplied for even greater flexibility. | Easy handlingThanks to the micro Velcro-type fastening, sanding sheet changes are both quick and convenient. The twoÂpiece sanding plate ensures that the sanding paper is used to its full potential. The compact and ergonomic housing with softgrip also facilitates comfortable working. | Clean workingOn the multi-sander, the dust produced is collected in the micro-filter box, making your working environment more pleasant. Alternatively, you can also connect an external dust extraction system to the dust extraction outlet provided. |

Sanding large areasThe PSM 200 AES offers even greater flexibility than other multi-sanders thanks to its additional rectangular sanding plate. With its approximately 60% larger sanding surface, large surfaces can also be sanded even more quickly and efficiently than with the previous sanding plate. | Sanding difficult-to-reach areasIf small or tight areas such as corners of doors or window frames are to be sanded, the rectangular sanding plate can be quickly and easily replaced by the delta plate without the need for tools thanks to the SDS system. | Material-specific jobsThe multi-sander offers six speed preselections and can therefore be adapted to various materials. To ensure that painted surfaces do not get too hot during sanding, you can simply select a lower speed via the rotary knob. |

A Good Sande
There’s nothing to dislike about this sander – it performs well and is easy to control.
I do have an issue with the robustness of the sanding plates. They do seem to damage relatively easily and I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing – maybe a softer material is less likely to mark/damage what you are sanding. I’m a DIYer and after a good few days sanding, it looks like it’s been with me for a decade.
Nonetheless it seems to do the job but there is a doubt in my mind that at some point i’ll be purchasing a new plate for the thing
Perfect compact palm Sande
Had an old JCB palm sander ,and so glad I purchased this one , so much easier to use ,with the Velcro sanding pads and dust compartment . I had lots off glossing and sanding down of my walls and this saved hours of my time . Highly recommend from a quality manufacture
Excellent Tool
Used this to sand down an oak waxed dresser and it worked a treat. Very happy with the results. Easy to use. Most of the dust goes into the collector so I plan to use this on our household doors nex

What's not to like!
I had a quick read of the very clear instruction pamphlet and set to work on sanding and smoothing down the woodwork in my kitchen,that needs painting! An excellent product,’nuff said!

Quick and easy
Easy to use. Can be held easily at any angle and the small dust collection box allows for hassle free manoeuvrability. I bought this to do my hall, stairs and landing and it took hours off doing it by hand the traditional way. I didn’t even break a sweat as the sander does all the work. Value for money and well made.

I am a bit of a fan of Bosch tools, already have a drill and plane. I find the Bosch tools pretty well built for the price and fairly sturdy. I do a bit of DIY and these tools are great for that but I would spend more if I wanted to use this sander everyday or for a series of major projects. It is great for jobs like smoothing down a door before painting or removing flaking varnish (the 2 jobs I have used it for so far). You have to be careful not to push too hard when sanding as this destroys the foam backing plate – just accept that you have to use a couple of extra sanding sheets to do the job. All in all I would recommend for general DIY but not for bigger projects.
Great, just what I needed
Does a great job of light sanding jobs, such as where filler has been used to fill a hole.
I wouldn’t use this product for really big jobs but its not designed for that so not really a negative

It works & collects the dust!
Works quite well, I was surprised how much dust it collected in the container built into the back of the unit. However it is quite hard to get the container off the unit and remove the lid to empty and clean the filter.

very handy for the price!
Easy to use. Easy to swap out the sanding pads. Didn’t realise how many would be needed as it goes through pads quite quickly but I blame that on the wood being sanded! Gives good enough results when making a pallet bar. Can be a bit dusty but only used it outdoors so not really a problem

Superb little tool
I used this sander for sanding down an old dilapidated bench and seat unit which was in a very poor state and I set about the task with this sander and the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. To totally sand down the bench and seats took two hours and I went through 5 sheets of sanding paper from very coarse to mid coarse and eventually, it looked great. I then set about staining it with antique pine varnish and the finished job is superb (even though I say it myself) I think this little sand is well worth the money and the 3 year guarantee is very comforting also.
Not really suitable for bigger projects.
Not the best if you’re sanding requirements are quite a big job.I bought it to sand my stairs which had some paint on them and it struggled.I ended up buying an additional orbital sander which was up to the job more than this.i had to use paint stripper then scrape it off.if you’re using it to take a thin layer off of wood then I think this will be fine,but that being said if the job is a lot bigger invest atleast another 40-50 into just buying one sander.
All good just what I needed
Blew up my previous different brand mouse, trying this one instead. Easy to hold, on/off switch easy, emptying dust collector not easy but not too bad at all. NB black and decker mouse sanding sheets don’t fit slightly too small, need Bosch sheets.

This sander is easy to hold, even for smaller hands. It is easy to set up and use. It glides along and does a great job on wood. Not tried it on anything else as yet. Also got an extended 3 year warranty online too. Win, wi

The dust compartment is hard to detach and hard to reassemble
It’s an excellent sander. I used it to prep up my wooden staircase before painting, and it’s a real joy to handle.
When I bought this I thought there might be problem maneuvering around the cable but it was not an issue.
The dust extraction is also a great function and works better than I thought.
The only problem I see is detaching the dust compartment for cleaning is hard and somewhat fiddly. Then there is the inconvenient opening its lid. re-assembly is also not smooth, and if it doesn’t sit right the dust extractor becomes a dust sprayer (watch your eyes).
Nice sander but for the case...
The sander is lovely. Gets the job done. Easy to hold. However, the clasps on the case the sander came in don’t hold the case shut. Strange that everything should be perfect but something simple, such as providing a case where the clasps work, is badly executed.

Great little sande
I bought this sander to use for light furniture restorations. For the price this is a great piece of kit! Well made, with a good quality plastic box, and detachable dust catcher/filter. Really easy to use and gives a good result! I’m not an expert in sanders but I really like this and am very pleased with it.
I was almost put off buying this sander by some of the negative reviews, but given the overall rating I went ahead and bought it anyway. Very glad I did. It’s a neat piece of kit, very easy to use and the velcro system for holding the sandpaper on works really well. I’ve used the sander several times and on some weird shapes. Being relatively small and light, it’s easy to move around on oddly shaped items. The dust collecting box stays firmly in place. Takes a little jiggling to get it off, but not an excessive amount. Does its job pretty well too. It doesn’t catch every bit of dust, so it’s advisable to still wear a mask, but it does suck up most of it. All in all, a good buy and one that has certainly saved me hours of manual sanding.
Not Bosch bes
Used for sanding doors and wooden surfaces painted or otherwise. Found the smaller sections difficult to remove and to reattach.
I also found it difficult to get replacement sanding sheets. Manufacturer should put on their site as it’s a guess when ordering if it’s the right sanding sheets as no advertiser specifically states that these will fit that model.
Really notice the improvement in build quality Vs my second old B&D mouse, which died from a battered nose (as usual). Feels lighter, but packs more real power. Much quieter, and less “buzzy” to hold in use, this sits comfortably in your hand, without feeling like an Eel struggling to escape, which makes it much easier to use on longer jobs.
The dust filter is 100% better than the mouse, both in not working loose / falling off, and actually working really well. Not easy to open, but I’d rather that the rattling shambles of the B&D offer.
Really like this well designed. civilised precision tool, thoroughly recommend.
Hello, I am a lady with small hands. I really like to DIY, this is my second Bosch sander – I burnt the last one out with excessive use, the fact I have bought a second (after about 10 years) says it all really. There are more powerful ones on the market but this is light,fits my hand and I can use it for long periods with out giving up. Good product.
I think i might have had too many expectations with this sander. It is good no doubt, that’s why i bought it, but it seems the fact it doesn’t collect the dust properly seems to become a problem in the future. I will keep it and use extra protection for myself from dust, but i would not buy it again. AND i bought it with the extra sander sheets as suggested by amazon and you can see for yourself how they fit on the sander.
This is my second Bosch multi-sander, although this one is slightly smaller and easier to manoeuvre.
I live in a Victorian house and have a lot of painted wood (gloss paint drips) to sand, this does the trick when using a variety of different grade sand papers.
My only gripe is I’d rather see a hoover attachment supplied than the dust catcher as it fills up quite quickly when doing a large job.
Great Sander but case needs a redesig
Sander is great , but case it comes into is designed to lock the sander and cable in place with fixed plastic posts…which is great when the sander is placed inside at the factory but once the sander and its cable is removed its nigh impossible to get back into the case….so i cut the posts off with a multi tool saw…sorry if it sounds petty but when finishing a job and trying to get the sander back in its case takes 10 minutes its no joke

It’s certainly sped up the process compared to sanding my hand, I’m doing some upholstery to some wooden dining chairs and also doing some DIY on a house so it’s been used for all sorts now. I bought this to replace my old broken palm sander, this one does have a little more vibration than my original and means I do have to take breaks more frequently/switch hands. But it works well, great for getting into small spaces as well as sanding door frames and skirting. I still have to use sand paper getting between the up stands on the chairs, but I think hand sanding is always going to still be needed no matter what sander I bought.
I wouldn’t suggest using this on lots of large objects, like too many doors or large pieces of furniture as it is only small and that would take a very long time, bit its fit for my purpose.
Very versatile small sander, good in confined spaces.
Purchased this small sander for work on two teak garden chairs with lots of small intricate areas to sand. Excellent in operation, small enough to hold with one hand and the sanding face in two parts enabling you to turn the sanding sheet to get best use out of them. Pleased with the purchase of a branded product at a competitive price.

Excellent machine
This bought as a replacement when I found it was cheaper than a replacement sole plate! Maybe this means spares are wildly overpriced? It is suck a nice machine to use, with much less vibration in the hand than other machines, and the 2 part sandpaper makes for efficient use. Do check alternative sandpaper suppliers, which bot cheaper than OEM papers and available in a wider range of grit grades.

It is powerful and very effective, but quite a lot of dust does escape. It is very difficult to get the dust collector off the machine. The on/off switch might be better if it had a lighter touch, it is better to use both hands whenever possible. But it did not cost a lot anyway except for the sanding sheets, but the Bosch ones are lasting well.

Before buying this Bosch sander I spent a few hours checking through various detail-sander reviews on a number of different makes but most included poor reviews on either the effectiveness of the dust collection box or the availability of replacement sanding sheets. I eventually opted for this Bosch PSM 200AES Multi-Sander and I am not disappointed! This is a versatile little sander which comes with 2 sanding plates: a rectangular plate for sanding larger areas and a “clothes iron” shaped plate for detail-sanding which gets into little nooks and crannies. Despite some reviews saying it is difficult to change the sanding plates over, I didn’t find this at all problematic, in fact it found it quick and easy. My first job was to sand-down a softwood kitchen worktop which had previously been coated with varnish. The courser grade sanding sheets removed the varnish layers and I then re-sanded it twice more using progressively finer grades of sandpaper, finishing with a 120 grade. The job took me about 4 hours but I am delighted with the results. Again, despite some reviews to the contrary, I found the dust collection box picked-up 90% of the sawdust provided it was emptied regularly. The dust box lid is a little fiddly to fit back on but not as bad as some suggest. I chose Bosch because replacement sanding sheets are readily available and I bought a selection separately when I purchased the sander as it only comes with a couple of sanding sheets. I would recommend this sander for most DIY jobs of this nature.
Does the job
I bought this to refurbish an old oak bookcase. It works best with the proper Bosch papers. Using the different grades I was able to remove all the old varnish and bring the wood to a beautifully smooth finish. It wasn’t quite possible to get right into the corners, but very close.

Yet another superb tool from Bosch.
I used this on a bookshelf build today and it impressed me. I used to own one of the notorious Black & Decker sanders that don’t last very long, and sure enough it tore itself apart a few weeks ago. That thing was rated at 230 Watts and this Bosch is rated at 200 Watts, but the Bosch is by far the more powerful of the two. The Bosch has variable speed so you can more easily sand gently, and is much better ergonomically. The micro-hook velcro sanding plate grips the paper extremely well so I had no problems with sandpaper being shed during use.
The built in dust collector is a mini vacuum cleaner and like most of them it only collects a little of the dust — I hope things will improve when I get a full-sized Bosch vacuum cleaner that can be connected to it. It is easy enough to open and empty the dust box, but it is a bit harder than it should be to put that two-part dust collector back together after you empty it. This is a minor design flaw in an otherwise excellent product.
I wholeheartedly recommend this product.
Good price for what appears to be a sturdy device
To register this product with Bosch was a long drawn out affair. First of all the product wasn’t listed by Bosch on their online registration site. I was then told by Bosch customer service that it was a Qualcast manufactured item and that I should contact them. Qualcast denied this and passed it back to Bosch. After many irate emails to Bosch I finally sorted it out. This has definitely put me off purchasing Bosch products in future if this is how they conduct themselves. Very shoddy Bosch and not great for your reputation.
Decent sander, but beware the size
I purchased this to replace a B&D Mouse as I wanted the dust collection that this Bosch has built in. It does a decent job, but it is worth pointing out that it is larger than you may expect. It isn’t a detail sander, but more of a general purpose sander. Anyway it did a decent job of sanding down walls and woodwork prior to decorating.

brillant piece of kit.
i’ve used this so much that i burnt the motor out and bought a new one. I’ve decorated 3 large houses (every room), refurbished 5 dining tables, 4 coffee tables and done the bodywork on 2 cars and a vintage tractor plus numerous other odd jobs. dust collection and emptying is a bit poor but it always is with these tools. If it was made 10 years earlier the first one would probably still be going but cant complain by modern standards. changing pads is quick and easy though oem pads (which a best) are a bit too pricey
Good quality produc
Easy to use sander, good shape to grip, not to heavy. Shape of foot allows access to corners but foot still large enough to sand flat areas. Sanding sheets fit securely to base and last reasonably well ( Bosch sheets). Dust extraction works to a limited degree and power lead on short side so 4 stars

Bosch is a well known, trusted, brand and that is one of the main reasons I bought this item. I ordered it yesterday and it was delivered today. Amazon is at its’ very best in this instance and is one of the reasons why I buy so many items rather than venture into the High Street.
This small sander comes in a fitted case and with dedicated sanding pads of various grades. I really like the fact that after use I can put the sander back into its’ case which is a very neat and compact way to store it after use.
Although it arrived a few hours ago I have already used it! There was an annoying dent in the wooden bannister at home which caught my hand as walked up and down stairs. This tool sanded away the, admittedly small, problem in a matter of seconds.
Finally, I would say that the weight and balance of this mini-sander immediately ‘told’ me that this was a quality item. At the price I paid on a ‘Deal of the Day’ it was a steal.

Great little sander in a box
This thing it great. I swapped an old rectangular orbital sander for this and haven’t looked back. I bought the additional sanding sheets from Amazon and set about sanding a heavily varnished old front door. Took a while but it is so light, powerful and easy to use – it also gets into nooks and crannies. Great for soffit boards, window cills & frames and other usual sanding jobs

Just the job
Works very well, great for the little corners, but it can manage bigger areas too. The dust created is very fine, so it has to be near enough gas-tight. Consequently the dust box is quite tight and stiff. One note of caution though, the sanding pads that were ‘bought at the same time’ have five holes rather than eleven and they are too small, so although good quality, are no good on this device. The sander is excellent.

Great little sander. Easy to use, especially for beginner DIYs and Weekend Projects. The starter pack of Sanding sheets is very useful and changing sheets is extremely quick and easy to do. The vibration and noise is minimal and within reason for a modern Powertool in my opinion. I usually struggle with grip and applying pressure but with this sander that wasn’t an issue. A bit of patience and it most certainly does the job for you. IMPORTANT ADVICE TO BUYER: Do be wary though of suggested additions that Amazon offer for packs of spare sanding sheets. They may say they go with sander but aren’t always compatible after all (I learnt this the hard way sadly so be cautious.). Spare sanding pads are easy to get hold of those as most major DIY chains stock both this sander and accessories.
Used extensively over the past few weeks as I have decorated my home and replaced a number of doors. The dust collector isn’t very effective, but better than nothing. Connected to an old vacuum cleaner it produces surprisingly little mess.

his is an excellent little machine, only let down by the very great difficulty in removing the rear dust chamber and even more so the top of said collection chamber, which I found impossible and had to call on someone else to do it for me.
Broke 2 cheap sanders in 1 day trying to sand my old cottage door and nearly gave up. This sander is just great, it’s light and produces excellent results. Another plus is the dust goes into a small dust catcher which means so much less mess when sanding indoors. Wish I had bought it sooner, would have saved me a lot of time with other projects.

A sturdy and well made sander but let down by the dust extractor part of the set, it does collect some of the dust but it is by no means a selling point. it is very difficult to clean out as it is enclosed inside a plastic box with a half inch wide hole. the sanding ability is fine but there is no control over speed, so it is pretty much plug and play, it does produce good results though.
Overall I would give this a seven out of ten score, acceptable but could be better with slight design changes, ideal for most home applications.
made an error and thought the black surface was the part used for abrasion.. I’m an idiot, when it started melting I realised my mistake, luckily very little damage done (just a line of melted plastic on the pad).
Good product overall used it correctly for a load of jobs now.

Good, is effective and cheap though I was initially confused about whether the red base was meant to be a sanding pad (it isn’t, it’s for velcroing sanding sheets to). It will make your hand zing for a while afterwards! Used for sanding bedroom cabinets prior to repainting, did the job perfectly.

This handy (no pun intended) little sander is making a welcome collection to our growing DIY tool collection.
We’ve only had chance to use it for a few small jobs so far but I’m not seeing anything that would cause me long term concern. At the end of this review I’ve listed a shortened summary and pro’s / con’s list if you are after a lighter read.
I was surprised, having used my fathers electric sander before, how light this unit felt in-hand. With a heavier unit and the vibrations associated with the sanding action, you can become fatigued. This unit weighs in at about 1kg with thanks, in part, to there being no battery on this model as well as some refinements over the years, no doubt.
This is, by no means, a beastly machine. It’s not heavy duty. But chances are that you’ve landed here looking for something that fulfils the need to get some sanding done at home without breaking the bank, and this offering gives you something affordable, quiet (relatively), light and ergonomically pleasing to hold.
Some things I wasn’t expecting at this price range; the collection bin with filter, for one. In practice there’s only so much that can be vacuumed up during operation, given the balance between a good sanding surface and holes for suction, and power for the sander over the suction. The result is that you won’t see all the dust collected, but enough to make the system still worth while.
The collection bin is quite difficult to remove. Whilst this might ease with time, it nice to know it’s not easily going to come lose during operation.
The cable length is not massive. At about 2m you get enough cable to run from an extension / outlet near the work area and move about comfortably around the object in question.
The detachable plate at the front may offer some tangible benefit to some, but I’m not sure, given the cost of the unit, that replacing parts is going to be that economical.
Using the sander is quite easy. One-handed operation is permitted by the convenient location of the switch, and the shape and rubber grips lend themselves to comfortable use. Aside from the inevitable lateral vibrations, I’ve not noticed much vertical vibration.
Included in the, rather nice, carry case is also a set of 3 different graded sanding pads. Anecdotally a fine medium and medium-coarse set of front and rear pads.
In summary; this seems, for the price (which seems to fluctuate so keep an eye on that) this is a well presented piece of equipment.
Pro’s:
– Price
– Weight is nice
– quite comfortable and ergonomic to use
– not too loud
– enough cable
– filtered collection bin
– range of included sanding pads
Con’s
– Expensive (official) replacement pads
– doesn’t collect all the dus
Love this sander. Nice and light weight yet well balanced. I love the fact that it can be used really on any shape of wood as it has a pointed tip plate then the plate comes off with a click to the right of a switch on the front. You can then click on the straight plate for sanding larger straight areas. I am almost 66 years of age and a woman, so if I can use it I’m sure any one can.
Exceptional sander, I had checked on line for this product before I purchased it. The majority of reviews were good although one or two were negative. I have bought Bosch before so thought I would buy anyway and I was really glad I did. The sander is really good and well worth the money. The sheets supplied with the sander do not feel as thick as ones bought separately but they seem to work just as well. I would have no hesitation in recommending this product.

This is a nice sized sander to fit in the palm and is very effective at doing what it’s intended for. The vibration through the hand is less than I’ve experienced with other sanders too. It is a shame the sole plate is not the same size as most other delta shaped sanders on the market for which there are plenty of aftermarket sanding sheets at a reasonable cost. The sole plate is longer and the extraction holes in different places meaning you have to buy the expensive bosch sheets. If you use a sander infrequently this may be the choice for you but with the cost of sanding sheets from Bosch a regular user may want to look elsewhere. I’ve given it 4 stars based on the quality and performance. I have a Bosch orbital sand which has been much used and abused over a 18 year period and it’s still going strong.
Update: found that Wolfcraft do aftermarket sheets which are cheaper than Bosch but still reasonable quality so makes this a better purchase.
Superb sander of outstanding quality
Superb Sander of outstanding quality and design. Its exactly what you would expect from Bosch, a well made brilliantly thought out tool which delivers excellent sanding results on flat surfaces and awkward to reach detailed woodwork. The dust device captures the sanded surface and deposits it in a container attached to the rear of the sander leaving the finished surface clear of debrit. I cannot fault this product, it is excellent. 10/10

So far we have used this on a climbing frame we are restoring. This has complemented my orbital sander in the corners and tight bits. It works very well -comfortable to hold and easy to control.
The box at the back fills rather quickly but that may be down to a very coarse grade of paper used.
There is a slight vibration – more than I’d like, but this is a vibrating machine after all! It left my hand less tingly than other sanders so it does well in that respect.
Pads are easy to replace – I picked up some replacements from Machine mart and they complemented each other nicely in terms of endurance and staying on the pad (Occasional hook and loop failures on other sanders)
Overall, it is well worth the money and will save a lot of time over hand sanding.
As with all Bosch power tools the PSM 200 AES Multi Sander is robustly constructed and works very well on all surfaces. However one element that is not of a robust construction is the dust box, which comes in two parts. The green cover is designed to ‘click’ into the black filter housing but after assembly the cover keeps ‘popping’ out enabling air and dust to escape through the gap, rather than out of the air filter. To try and solve the problem, I have resorted to holding the two parts of the dust box together with an elastic band!!!
