AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the performance of the sander. They say it works fantastic with very little dust escaping, it is a real time-saver, and produces great results. The orbital head works great and takes off material, the spring loaded shroud works well, and it works good for final sanding. However, some customers mention that the rotary head works best with higher grits, and that it works really well on walls. Overall, most are satisfied with the performance and quality of the tool.

Customers like the speed of the sander. They mention that it works well, is 10x as fast as hand sanding, and can vary speed as needed.

Customers are mixed about the dust suction of the sander. Some mention it works fantastic with very little dust escaping, while others say that the fine dust will clog their vacuums filter quickly. The head holds dust, but it doesn't have vacuum suction. The vacuum draw isn't great.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the sander. Some mention that it is much easier and faster to sand this way, with a very minimal learning curve. However, others say that it takes a lot of practice, it is heavy and will wear you down over time while doing a large project. The instructions are not very clear on changing the heads.
"Works well, 10x as fast as hand sanding. Easy to use once you figure out the power switch. It's a little tricky...." Read more
"...It is heavy so ceiling work gets tiring on the shoulders, but ceilings suck no matter what you do and this at least makes it suck for much less time...." Read more

"...for several weeks before writing my review and can tell you it is a time saver. I recommend the product. Two thumbs up." Read more
Customers are mixed about the size of the sander. Some mention that the hose has excellent size, while others say that it's much too small to move enough air. The adjustable length is nice, and it'll fit most vacuums. However, some customers also mention that it didn't fit their 14-gallon shop vac or their 4.5-gal tank vacuum.
"...On 9 foot ceilings it is too short, not expandable, and gives your back, shoulders, and arms a workout...." Read more

It is a heavy unit because of the motor and head assemblies. However, my wife has used it sanding walls with little discomfort. She cannot use it overhead. Your arms will get tired using it overhead so pace yourself. In my opinion the triangle head feels heavier using it overhead than the rotary. Just for fun I used the corner (triangle) attachment moving from a ceiling to a wall and it did a good job. I am no longer worried about using too much mud on a joint or nail head or not getting a coat floated just right. This sander IF used correctly makes fast work with the least amount of dust. IF I could give it a 6 star I would. One final word. On the exploded view part list ITEM Number 67A (6377-067A) Shaft Cap is a consumable item. WEN gives you some replacement caps and you can find them on the corner attachment. When you change heads (or if the head quits spinning or vibrating) spin the disk to see if you can feel the motor resistance. If you can't feel it the plastic cap is worn out and needs replaced. You may need to use a pock knife to pry what is left of the cap out of the socket. Enjoy sanding.
1. Don’t lock the head in place, just let it float. I wish it had a little more range of motion but it’s workable.
2. Even the slowest speed is pretty fast, keep the dial down at speed setting 1.
3. Use the higher grit paper (120+) unless you mud like some kind of barbarian. Lower grit will remove material too quickly because the head spins so fast.
4. Keep the head pushed firmly to the work surface, if it’s vibrating or making a rhythmic noise, you’re doing it wrong. Push harder to engage the head against the drywall and it will slow itself down to the correct working speed.
5. When you take it off the wall, you will naturally want to flip it over and rest it like a weed whacker, don’t do this, keep the head up so all the dust doesn’t fall out until you’re ready to dump it.
6. The suction is passable, but not great (still way better than by hand). You will still need to wear a mask or set up a negative pressure system. Make sure your vacuum has good suction.
7. The switch is just an awful design. Familiarize yourself with it so you can shut it off quickly if needed.
8. The speed selector moves too freely and you will accidentally adjust it, be listening for the speed change knowing that the vacuum will also be loud making it hard to hear.
Again, despite all this it’s a solid product suitable for weekend warriors and good purchase for a sizable project. Pros would want to pay more for something quieter, lighter and with better suction, but you can’t beat this for the price.

For use on a wall, the on/off switch faces the user, but for ceiling use, the switch faces away from the user. The on/off switch is difficult to manipulate and especially so when facing away from the user.
The triangular head is all but useless for ceiling work as you have to hold the complete sanding unit, parallel to the ceiling to be able to bring the head's sanding surface into position, and the vacuum hose, in any case gets in the way (see photos). In addition, the weight of the motor pulls the head end nearest the user, down, away from the ceiling (see photos) this is a PITA. When used on a wall, the head hangs as shown in the photos and is quite useable.
This unit its self, does not have suction, it requires a vacuum attached to it. I put a cyclone filter between my sander and the vacuum. The cyclone filter removed most of the drywall dust. I did not notice much dust getting into my work area, except when I rotated the head from ceiling sanding, 180 degrees, and then dust spilled onto the floor.
The holes that are in the sanding pads, are not all vacuum holes, as I thought, but are useful for aligning the sanding disks.
To sum up, this unit is heavy for use on a ceiling, but did a great job for me, using it for short periods with frequent breaks. On walls, it works well.
I would recommend this unit.
