Random Orbital Sanders
Side-by-side comparison — specs, price, and expert verdict
The no-nonsense workhorse. DeWALT's DWE6423 is compact, lightweight at 1.28 kg, and delivers reliable performance at a very competitive price. Variable speed from 8,000–12,000 OPM covers everything from paint removal to final finishing. No frills, no fuss — just works.
The budget-friendly 150mm option. At just 1.6 kg with a 150mm pad, the Metabo SXE 3150 offers large-surface sanding at the lowest price in this comparison. The 3mm orbit is a good compromise between removal rate and finish quality. Variable speed and included dust bag make it ready to use.
