I recently purchased the DeWalt 20V Max Sander DCW2101D1, and I couldn't be happier with its performance and convenience. This sander packs a serious punch with its powerful 20V Max battery, allowing me to tackle even the toughest sanding projects with ease. The variable speed control is a game-changer, as it allows me to adjust the sanding speed based on the material I'm working with, resulting in smooth and precise finishes every time.One of the standout features of this sander is its remarkable mobility. The cordless design, thanks to the 20V Max battery, provides me with the freedom to move around without any restrictions or hassle of tangled cords.

The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during extended use.In addition to its performance and mobility, the DeWalt 20V Max Sander DCW2101D1 is built to last. The sturdy construction and durable materials make it a reliable tool for any professional or DIY enthusiast. The dust collection system is highly efficient, keeping the work area clean and minimizing cleanup time.Overall, the DeWalt 20V Max Sander DCW2101D1 has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its power, convenience, and durability make it a top-notch sander that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a reliable and versatile tool for their sanding projects.

Bought this sander to paint-prep the frames around my garage doors and the fascia boards on a large bakyard shed. Both were weather-beaten, with old flaking paint chaff plus shallow, topographical map-like areas of forever adhered, original paint on them. Since I was going to be standing on stools & ladders, often using it vertically, I sure didn't want anything heavy. I also wanted to avoid cords, since they can easily tangle and otherwise get in the way when you're not doing horizontal work.This sander takes 8 hole sanding discs that DON'T come with it. The sander's paper pad has a super velcro-like surface that immediately grabs hard and holds the sandpaper discs like superglue. This model is variable speed, and its speed button is adjacent to the power button on the hand saddle, a nice touch for max efficiency. Holding this unit against vertical surfaces for a few hours doesn't strain your muscles because it's so lightweight. The dustbag attaches/detaches easily, and does a good job of preventing a dust storm in your face. It sanded down all framing and molding quite well, adequately smoothing the stuck-on-forever areas of old paint until my touch test revealed it to be lump/bump /crevice free enough to feel confident that new primer & paint will adhere well.The unit comes with a charger and one of DeWalt's batteries; this battery took about an hour charge time for at least 1.5-2 hours run time. It's a little hard to shove the battery into its slot, and the same for removing it for charging, but I think that'll change in time. I really like everything about its design, and hope that the longevity that other reviewers have testified to will be true for this one, too.

Batteries last a decent amount of time. This is variable speed but I just leave it on high. I gave away my corded sander as this works the same.

My experience with Dewalt has been great overall. I chose to stick with this line and will typically only buy Dewalt tools if I am buying battery powered. The ability to used my batteries and chargers with all tools is always great. The sander is easy to handle, easy to use and gets the job done. You can use universal round pads and they work fine. The small dust container is ok. While you still get a good amount of dust in the area, like you do with them all, you can always opt for a strong vaccum added to it while sanding which will help minimize dust. The battery lasts a decent amount of time although I do find that it is good to have a second battery ready to go for bigger jobs. I definitely recommend the dewalt sander, specially if you can find a deal with a battery and charger since you can never have enough. I have yet to encounter a Dewalt tool I am not happy with.

This is a great little hand sander with all the bells and whistles you could hope for in its price range. I have another hand sander that I like well enough, but this is a random orbit that makes it useful to polish my vintage Alfa roadster in addition to woodworking. The dust collection bag seems always to be well filled, but it is not 100%. It's a good idea to wear a mask to filter out the rest. Some of the attractive features are also the ones that are detrimental. With a round surface orbiting randomly it is impossible to get into corners very closely, one advantage of my other hand sander is the squared base which allows closer passes in the corners. IMHO, this was money well spent.

This is a slightly more complicated purchase. Bought the same sander few years ago and have used it often for my primary use of sanding home projects. Works great and provides wonderful sanded surfaces. Now we enter into another purchase that I made....the Amazon extra warranty which I also purchased.The sander started making an odd sound and then varied slightly in its RPM and eventually just 'died'. That's the reason for my 4 star rating....function ceased after about 3 years of use. It wasn't excessively tough use either....I'd say normal use, so that's not great. The good news is, the warranty is legit and my purchase was totally backed up. Sent back the old one, rec'd a refund and purchased another one. My project work continues... ;-)

Works as well as a 110 not bad

Sands well but small dewalt shop vac would help collect fine sanding better
