Great sander with good power off a battery. Dust collection works best when using mesh discs. The bag catches a surprising amount of dust but obviously not everything. Highly recommended if you're on the Bosch system.

Protips for this...
If not using a dust collector, then ditch that bag that comes with it. It's ok, but the Bosch GSS20-40 fits it, and it's a filtered canister from one of their much more expensive sanders. You can find them for $10-ish .
Also, the backing pad isn't very good. It's a bit firm for a less aggressive sander like this. Look for the RS033 (extra soft) and/or the RS034 (soft) pads. They are much more accommodating for this sander.
Also, you can get a 6" pad to fit it, but it will require some work to attach that will void your warranty. (But, with Bosch's future up in the air, their warranty may be void anyways.)
But if you got the $79.99 deal at Lowe's, then hopefully you bought 2 or more. Because this is the best sander I've ever used under the $230 price.
Bought this and the brushless multi tool for $79 each + 2 free battery kits a while back. Best sander I've ever used. The multi tool on the other hand is just ok but for the price I wouldn't complain.

I got the multi tool for $79... But missed the sander. FYI - the sander is on sale at Menards for $109 - with a free 4.0AH battery and charger. I bought through the app for store pickup. Add tool - add 4.0 battery/charger 'starter kit' - and the price of battery is subtracted (free)...
Came to $118 total... So just a few dollars more -.you can get an extra battery.
Not $79 slick... But those with regrets on missing this like me - a nice deal. There are a few other bosch bare tools that qualify for this... but the prices seemed high to me at least.
