Professional reviewers praise the BDERO100 for its value in DIY finishes, noting that the 12000 OPM speed optimizes removal without creating swirls. The sealed switch is highlighted for boosting durability, while editors emphasize the hook-and-loop ease for professional results. However, reviewers note that the 2.0 Amp motor is best suited for light-to-medium tasks rather than heavy stripping or stock removal.
Everyday users commonly praise the tool for its smooth sanding on small projects, easy dust bag setup, and lightweight design which aids control. Many note that the 12000 OPM speed removes paint and stain quickly from wood. Recurring complaints include the fixed speed leading to over-sanding on delicate surfaces, the dust bag filling up fast without a vacuum hookup, and some reports of vibration during extended use.
