It is not. I have since bought the bosch. Basically, the sandpaper stayed still and my hand vibrated. I was trying to sand around some spindles on a staircase and thought this would be useful. This product doesn't do anything.
Absolutely useless. I use various sanders for various needs. When you turn it on it feels about like an electric tooth brush. It hasn;t arrived yet though so I cannot compare. Unfortunately it is not as powerful as an electric toothbrush.I put on some 60 grit paper as I was trying to roughly remove some old polyurethane.
We bought this to clean up detail work on a paneled door that we were stripping. I think other reviewers may have had excessively high expectations. It did a great job of getting into the corners and the cleaning up the moulding. I did the job better than I expected and saved several hours of tedious hand sanding.
I still had to lean in on the tool to make it sand. I have tried to use this tool several times since I bought it. I think it will be donated to charity or thrown away very soon.I have only used it for sanding in tight areas or small spots in moulding. Even then it barely smoothed out the wood. The vibrations did not do anything for sanding.
I purchased one of these sanders from a home center as an "in a pinch" purchase, and found that all it really is is a piece of sandpaper on an electric stick. It only got the one star because the program wouldn't allow me to give it zero. You could very literally attach a triangle of sandpaper to a tongue depressor and you'd get a more effective tool. It might work as a personal massager, but thats really the only use I could imagine this thing ever having.If you need a detail sander, you'll be far better off buying a grossly overpriced fein multimaster than to waste the minimal amount of money this one costs.
I bought this to refinish some trim around the house. Talk about a piece of junk. Got it home and turned it on and realized that the handle was the only part that vibrated - not the sanding pad.
