For general use a 1/3 sheet sander is much better as it doesn't need special pads or sheets.

What are you going to use it for?

I have one of these which is good as a basic sander which is capable of most things.

If you are going to be doing general sanding on a flat surface a lot then look for a normal 1/3 sheet sander as the sandpaper is a lot cheaper than the hook and loop type.

Whats the difference between 110v and 240v as there the same price?

 

[gblades]

110v is commercial use. You need a transformer but its wires such that the live and neutral both have 55V to earth so if you use it outside and get an electric shock its 55V instead of 240V so considerably safer

How decent

Personaly I would go for Festool, I've used them in the past and they are spot on

But make sure you are sitting down, when you look at the price
