Ryobi have made some improvements in their range to come up with this sander. gone is the old bag that often fell off. Instead, the hard cased box is a bit awkward to remove but it does the job of collecting the sawdust. Like for like in price it is more liked by our pupils than other sanders in the price range. They particularly appreciate the lower vibration. It also comes with a soft zipped bag that makes it easy to store and carry.

The overall design of this sander is just terrible!!! i found it very difficult to remove the dust collector case and i'm 100% sure this will just break in due course. because of the positioning of the dust collector it is also impossible to fit sand paper using the sheet clamps, so you'll have to remove the dust collector in order to fit sand paper in this way. on the plus side, it is more powerful than others on the market at a similar price and the has lower vibrations. but i would not recommend this product.
