My only complaint is the cost of either style abrasive. I have used both the hook and loop and the foam backed pads and have not had a problem with either. The previous review is three years old - maybe things have changed. The hook and loop pads are easier to change and are tightly attached when I change them. Of course, the manufacturers make easy money on consumables, so now that I have some hook backing pads, maybe I can find some more affordable loop abrasive. The abrasive is a complete disk, as opposed to the ring used on the foam backed pads - maybe an advantage, but the abrasive on the foam backed pads may last a bit longer - I'm still on the fence about this.
My other complaint would be that I'd like to see a washable,resuable filter for the vacuum (#7810). I understand the decision to revamp the design by PC but it did not work. I very much like the drywall sander and attached vacuum; and I also liked the original sanding pads that came with the 7810. The new disc pads seem to separate between the sanding disc and the velcro pad in the box before I've even had a chance to use them. I'm having quite a time finding a filter for a #7810. This forces me to create my own.
