Wen DW1085 Main Features?

I'm thinking about buying a Wen DW1085 sander. What are its main features?

The Wen DW1085 has a power rating of 10 amps, and it's corded with a no-load speed ranging between 1,500 to 2,300 OPM. It comes with a 9-inch pad size, weighs 6 lbs., and features a dust collection system for a cleaner workspace.

The sander is quite versatile and would be great for various tasks. I've used it on wood surfaces before, and it does a fantastic job! Have you checked out the TechReviewer article about it?

I've read that article, and it's very informative. The sander seems like a good choice for general use, but how does its weight affect usability?

You're right; the 6 lbs. might be a bit heavy if you need to operate the sander for extended periods. However, it still offers great performance and precision. I'm just looking for some more opinions on this before making my decision.

I find the weight manageable, but then again, I don't use it for hours at a time. If you're planning on using it extensively, you might want to consider other options with lighter weights.

True. I used to have a lighter sander which was easier to handle for longer periods. It's all about personal preference and the specific tasks you need to perform.

Thanks, everyone. Based on your suggestions, I'll weigh the pros and cons before deciding. It seems like the Wen DW1085 is a solid choice, but there might be other options that suit my needs better.
