Evolution Power Tools R225DWS Telescopic Dry Wall Sander with LED Torch and 6 Sanding sheets, 225 mm

Brilliant. A little heavy but get use to it. It does the job really well.

This really is an impressive piece of kit , great value for money , super easy to use , very very well made and the finish quality is amazing, highly recommended

I am currently in the process of refurbishing a house and every room needs redecorating. All the bedroom walls are now stripped, cracks filled but need smoothing - hence buying this machine.It's big! and fairly heavy particularly when the extension pole is fitted. However for my use on the walls the extension pole can easily be removed and set aside making the machine more manageable. When I first started to use the machine I noticed a lot of vibration once the sanding head was pushed onto the wall - soon sorted by turning the speed down to about half - this made the sanding much more manageable. The LED lights on the front and the LED torch are excellent and a superb addition that really do light up the area being worked on. Attaching a vacuum to the supplied long hose took care of the dust and to be honest there was hardly any on top of furniture or window sills which is a massive bonus. The unit is very well made and very good value for money compared to the hundreds of pounds you could spend on an item like this.So why the 4 stars. Simply because the machine is heavy which makes using it for any length of time fairly tiring. The weight probably comes from the solid construction and using lighter material would be reflected in the cost.Would I recommend it, definitely, it smoothed the walls very quickly and made short work of removing the tiny bits of paper and paint still stuck to the walls, the walls felt much smoother to the touch. Don't be temped to use course sanding sheets the finer ones roundabout 200 grit gave a far superior finish.

This is a fantastic product for the price but can get a bit heavy after sanding a ceiling for 15min

It's a good product for the price.Pros:It's very powerful, and doesn't bog down. It seems to be well built. It has a long reach.Cons:It's heavy and tires the arms quickly, especially when you are working on ceilings, it's not so bad on walls. Another thing when working on ceilings is the way the head tilts.The design causes the head to gouge the surface a little if you are not careful when first approaching the ceiling.The dust collection when using an evolution R15 vacuum is not fantastic, but it does reduce the dust floating in the air quite a bit, it's only when you take it from the wall/ceiling, some of the dust that is not fully extracted falls out.The LEDs are great and massively improve the visibility of flaws in the surface but they do cause an Evolution to remain on constantly when it should auto shut off.

Very reasonable price not used yet fast delivery

I had no experience and I tried leveling some mistakes I did after plastering and this grinder worked really well. It has great lighting and I could connect it directly to a DeWalt Vacuum Cleaner. I grinded for a really long time at maximum speed and it never overheated or stopped working. Really great product.

Great product that does its job. Comes attached with 2 work lights that are a must on a dry wall sander. Has all handles etc to get a firm hold of machine when using it. Only downside is its a little heavy so arms can get pretty tied out especially if sanding ceilings or high walls. Just take break every so often and you'll be fine. Good for large properties and fresh skimmed walls.
