BoschGEX33-5N 5 In. Multi-Hole Random Orbit Sander/Polisher

This replaced a older model that would just die after a few minutes of use. This out performed the best the old one ever performed, is quieter and seems to do a better job. This is still fairly new so will see how it lasts. The old one was probably 15 years old, hard to tell as time gets away from us.

I've gone through a couple of these sanders and always return as they are my gold standard. You will not find a better one. They are pricey but well worth it. Good speed control and minimal handle vibration. I've never used the dust collection. The most common problem has been a switch now and then but that's easy to change.

I have had the older version of this sander for close to 20 years, to the point I can't remember not having it.But it plain wore out. This unit seemed fine and worked well and kept dust down well as long as I kept the filter cleaned. I used it to sand down some bondo on a seat frame. The second use was to rough up paint on a wood door I was painting.But after maybe an hr of use on the first day, 1 minute into my second use the dust collection seal separated from the sander and bound up the pad, stalling the motor. I took the pad off, reseated the seal, just for it to come right off again. Not sure how it is supposed to stay attached, seems to be a slip on, but no way this will last like my older one.I was initially using my normal 8 hole disks, but I decided to try the one multiple sample sandpaper, which does not align well with the holes for the dust collection. Not sure if that contributed to excessive suction that pulled the seal off. But in any case that should not happen ever.Returning and looking for another vendor to invest in

Has great spinning action and doesn't leave scratch lines. Other sanders stop spinning when some pressure is put down on other brands they stop spinning and the Bosch has enough power it does not and makes the sanding easier.

Bought this sander to upgrade from 60 dollar dewalt sander (which has always been my ride or die). This sander is definitely better! It’s smoother, takes finish off faster and leaves no circle marks. The only thing is it’s pretty heavy compared to my dewalt. I’ll be using this on table tops and things I will stain. Otherwise, if I’m just scuff sanding to paint, I will use the dewalt bc it’s lighter. Definitely can tell a difference!

A high quality tool. Good power sands very smoothly , no wobble Like 50$ palm sanders do. Highly recommended.

I was excited to replace my over 25 year old Bosh sander with a new one. It was was easy to use, and worked well for the first few hours I used it. Then the pad became detached from the mounting plate. I contacted Bosch warranty, and they sent me a replacement. I thought it was just a fluke, and the new pad would work great. The new pad lasted less time than the first one. I am very disappointed.I am an experienced woodworker who has a lot of experience with sanders. My previous Bosch sander worked great, but got old and needed to be replaced. I would not purchase this product again of I had the choice. I have a shop full of Bosch products, but would chose a sander that was a different brand due to durability issues.

Bought 2 of these. I started using one of them the day I received them and left one in the box/cabinet for later. I just opened the 2nd one and the sander stopped spinning within the first couple of minutes. I flipped it over to find the belt or something came off and has the sander locked up. I thought no big deal. Wrong. My return window closed on the first, just a couple days ago. I'm disgusted with myself for not checking tool before my window closed. I have not reached out to the vendor so not sure what the outcome will be but Bosch missed the boat on QC for this item. I have an absurd amount of Bosch tools and never had the first issue with any of their tools. I sure hope this isn't a new trend.

This cut my sanding time dramatically, compared to the ROS I was previously using.It's comfortable with multiple hand grip options, low vibration and I swear it completes tasks in about 1/5 of the time as my other sander.I purchased the 3M Cubitron sanding discs and am so excited about my new tools.

Bosch the most Versatile and Reliable Tool.I uses it for heavy duty work like Stain n varnish removal. Awesome!!

It's used very lightly. May be 10 times in last 3 months. But it's broken.Can seller help me to get a replacement part. Or not sure if this
