I purchased three wired Bauer sanders because they have round dust ports I could hook up to my vacuum for dust collection, and I don't like changing paper. They work well for me, but compared to my Hitachi sanders, they don't work as well. They sand OK but don't seem to remove the material as fast, and the cord is much shorter. My Hitachi sanders have very long cords, 10-12 feet. If you are the kind of person who takes care of your tools, Bauer tolls would likely work fine for you. They might not hold up as well if you use them hard. If I remember correctly, I paid less than $15 each for my sanders. If they die I'm not out much. At the time I purchased mine, I had to order them because my local store could not keep them in stock.
