Title: The Other Reviewers are correct, Shreds belts
Review: I figured surely it couldn't be that bad, but I went thru five belts taking two layers of paint of an area about 24' sq feet. I was able to get one belt to last a bit longer by swapping it end for end before it shreded. The drive wheel is shorter than the front wheel and there is a spot where the belt goes around a metal surface...seems to get real hot and degrade the belt until it fails. Otherwise seemed like a nice device with great ergonomics, but this belt shredding flaw completely obliviates any positives. If you do even a rudimentary amount of sanding, the attractive price will be overwhelmed by a gluttony of sanding belts. Given my estimate of the design flaw, I do not see how a refurbished unit would fare any better. I'll take my sander back to Ace and order somethine else.
Is the review positive or negative?
