Hi,

Would anyone please be able to recommend me a random orbital sander for home DIY use? I don't need absolute top end equipment, just something of decent quality for a reasonable amount of DIY work.

I was looking at one of the Bosch GEX range, however, I read somewhere on the forum that they are overpriced due to the brand name. I am OK buying a lesser well known brand as long as it is decent quality.

bosch blue is trade rated so should be fine.

a cheaper alternative is ryobi

This is the one i have its the cheapest one i own aswell but i tend to use it around the house whenever i need a sander, i can also say mine has been used to sand down all the walls in 5 houses and 2 flats now before painting and its still working --> BLACK AND DECKER KA270K-GB 4 IN 1 CYCLONIC MULTISANDER

i have a b&q macalister random orbit sander. think it was like £35 and has a 3 year guarantee

they kinda need to be conected to a hoover of some sort though. bit dusty compared to the other type i used which was a dewalt model no dw443 but there canny expensive really
