Haven't used it yet. Rating it a 5 star. Judging from the reviews that i have read before buying it.
 Broke after 9 months May 3, 2010
John
This is the first palm sander I've ever bought. It worked well for me for 9 months sanding the faces of plywood and MDF. I estimate I used it for 40 hours or less. Then it broke - the part of the plastic foot the orbiting bearing pushes against broke and parts of it spit out of the fan. I think this was because it was assembled incorrectly - one of the screw inserts in the plastic pieces that the foot attaches to was installed the wrong way around and this caused the foot to not sit flat. This could have concentrated stress from the orbiting bearing in one location on the plastic causing it to fail. I could go get it fixed (it's still under warranty), but it's not worth the time and trouble to do so compared to the cost of a new sander. So it's off to the hardware store to buy something else.

My favorite March 8, 2010

I am a painting contractor employing 6-9 men and this is my favorite sander. I found the Makita far too buzzy, they make your hand numb after about half-an-hour. the Porter-Cable Speedbloc 330 is a nice solid machine, but for twice the price I didn't get any more hours out of them than the DeWalt, and the clips for the sandpaper are awkward.
I was previously using the DeWalt D411 and the D26441k is a better sander for a couple of good reasons: The grip is more comfortable in your hand; There is a vacuum attachment that works very well.
The performance is very good and these sanders will go all day long for days on end without a hiccup, even without any kind of maintenance. I started buying these about a year ago and none of the 5 I bought have had any problems. I buy replacement pads from [...] for about $16 and replace them when the corners get down to bare metal.
I have not had any "screeching" sanders.
The dust collector that is included is about as worthless as every other manufacturers dust collector, so I don't see a reason to demote the DeWalt.
Not all shop vacuums have the same diameter hose-end, but ShopVac brand 1 1/4" hose fits this perfectly. Also, if you search, you can find a universal adapter for hose-ends. Again, customer service not withstanding, I don't hold this against DeWalt
Problems that I had on the D411's were the feet that attach the plate to the motor were prone to break and the wiring from the switch to the motor (or maybe the switch itself)would go bad. They were also very hard to service if you wanted to split them and replace parts. Again, I haven't had any problems over the past year with the D26441k's that I bought.

I purchased this sander for my woodworking husband. He loves it. Since he has a painful nerve problem in his hands, the smoothness and lack of harsh vibrations really help. He's pitching his old Black and Decker since this one is so superior. I read previous reviews about a screeching sound made by the sander. The sander we received does not have this screech.
