Great product [Posted on 2007-04-05]
Works just like they say it does. Dust-free sanding is the only way to go.

excellent item-but you can make it better by using perforated paper [Posted on 2007-10-24]
This set-up is excellent, but I have never like sanding screens, so I took one of the perforated 9" discs that Ames sells for the big Porter Cable drywall sander and cut it down to fit on the pole sander. You leave the screen on and the hook and loop on the paper clings to the screen. You don't get a perfect fit because the disc is not big enough, but close. I e-mailed Ames to see it they would supply this paper cut for pole sanders, so far no reply.

Works okay but there are better alternatives [Posted on 2008-01-24]
i bought this product in the hopes that it would help sand all the walls in my house as we're in the process of skim coating. after using it a few times i think the product is just "okay". it tends to flip over quite easily when you're sanding and it doesn't really take off that much material.

for not much more money you can find a nice palm sander with dust pickup. i got a black and decker palm sander at target for around $35. that plus the higher variety of grit in sandpaper means you can attach some 60 grit to your palm sander and really level the surface out quickly. you can perforate the paper for dust pickup and it removes MUCH more material much faster than this pole sanding contraption did. the only downside of it, of course, is that you have to get on a ladder to get the tops of the walls.

i could see the dust dog being very useful for sanding down mud from taping, but for skim coating i didn't find it very useful at all.

Great for the Low $$$ Cost! [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I'm supper pleased with my purchase. I was on the fence on this but the strong reviews and the fact it is made in Canada sold me on giving it a shot. Works great! The pole takes a bit to get used to but other than that it's a rocker. For the cost you'll be more than happy. Do it.

Stop eating dust... [Posted on 2008-04-25]
I have used this while doing a kitchen renovation and it has worked very well. I think it is largely going to depend on whether the vacuum/ shopvac that you are using is strong enough and filtered well enough, but ours has worked great. Not really even any dust left on the wall. Any pole sander is a little unwieldy and the hose adds a bit of bulk, but it's been worth the very minor annoyance of dealing with the hose to not have to entomb the area you are working on in plastic & dropcloths. I'd highly recommend this product. I don't know how well it'd stand up in a professional application, but for the do it yourselfer with the occasional project, this is great. Well worth the money when you consider the time savings and the health benefits of not inhaling the dust.
