Very Useful Sander
I am in the middle of a staircase refinishing project. I have a 1/4 sheet sander and a belt sander. I needed something to get into tighter corners and for a little more aggressive paint stripping. I used stripper to remove the paint, but there were remnants absorbed into the wood fibers. I picked this up at a local hardware store and am very happy with the product. I have been running it for hours and the orbital action really speeds up the surface paint removal. The finger and detail attachments work nicely for the tight spots. This uses standard 5 inch hook and loop orbital pads and I had no difficulty in finding the detail pads at the same store.

I should point out that I am using this for a job that is much more extreme than this product was designed for. Considering the abuse it has endured so far, I would say that this sander could handle smaller tasks with ease and for a normal weekend woodworker's usual "honey do" projects, should last a normal lifetime. If not, it has a two year warranty. I know I will definitely get my money's worth out of the product.

No sandpaper - NoSupport
Looks great - works well!

BUT - nobody has paper to fit this sucker. Not even the B&D web site. Called the "CALL BEFORE RETURNING" number. They sent me to their local factory repair store. Called them - they have no paper for it either - but did mention this item is discontinued!!!

Am returning it on Monday.

Too bad, because it did work OK for the one project we bought it for.

Love this little sander. No breathing of sawdust.
I love this little sander. I got it to work on my kitchen cabinets..I have asthma and sanding with a traditional sander is out of the question. This little guy gets in all the tight places and then you get to empty the little cup and not breathe the sawdust and there is no mess to clean up.

Not for huge jobs but just right for what I needed. I also repaired a small area of hard wood floor that dog had peed on repeatedly. I was able to san it down and refinish just that smal area without a big mess.

Love this little guy.

Sander is ok, seller needs work
The product works well for the price, but if your using a sander for big and long term projects you might be advised to look elsewhere. Wear a mask ( I know, its a pain in the butt), but this VERY small dust holder does not work as well as a old fashioned dust bag. It looks light weight, but after a few hours will may find it weighs a ton.
The VERY disappointing thing was that it was a used model, that was sold as new ( Amazon), upon opening the box I noticed wide clear tape over the opening, a great indicator that it was resealed. I opened it and sure enough, one sheet was missing, sawdust on the grip....not good Amazon! Yes, I could have returned it, but I needed it now, as stores were either sold out or its on the way out. This is my first bad experience with Amazon, after being pleased with all other orders, but everyone deserves a second chance. My suggestion to Amazon,or black and decker is that returns should be noted, new is new, returns are not.

Great for the 4-5 hours of use and then it stoped working
I bought this sander for some misc. work and sanding down two coffe tables so I can refinish them. As I write this I am filled with frustration as my SECOND Cyclone within the last month has now stopped turning on. The first one suffered the exact same fate. The sad part is I am only half way through my second coffe table.

The unit when it works is great. I love the ability to switch between the orbital and the detail sander as I have a need for both. However both of them have died on me after 4-5 hours of use. I turned them both off to clean out the dust collectore and then they never turned back on again. I am now returning the second Cyclone back to the store where I bought it and buying a Dewalt. I know personally I look to amazons reviews for tools quite often so I thought id just share my frustration in hoops that I help someone else avoid my situation.
