Review on Bosch ROS10 Random Orbit Sander by Seth Singh

Updated Review: I quite liked it (see below) until last week it broke after 10 months of use maybe 3 times a week. I'm careful with my tools and I've taken good care of them, but it just died on me. (My Dewalt ROS is 5 years old and still working.) I couldn't remember when I bought it so I figured it was out of warranty. When I disassembled it, voiding the warranty, I saw that the cable from one of the brushes broke right where it connects to the motor. This looks like a terrible design flaw as the wire is connected vertically under the palm pad so any pressure on this point will push against the connector and bend the wire until it breaks. three months just to leave a dust filter on, and $60 isn't that much. You can't just open the filter and shake it to clean; You need to clean the space between the paper dividers with a flathead screwdriver and then blow through the plastic case. After about 3 months of use for a few hours a week, the filter is no longer tight. So I wrapped an elastic cord around the filter and grinder body to hold the filter in place. It's lighter and more comfortable than my Dewalt ROS, but requires more effort to maintain.
