This list covers bare tools for buyers already on a battery platform (DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Craftsman, Metabo HPT) alongside complete kits that include a battery and charger, sorted by what varies most: variable speed, dust collection, and whether it ships ready to use.",

    "It advertises a 19,000 RPM top speed. Every named-brand sander in this category — DEWALT, Milwaukee, Makita, Metabo HPT, CRAFTSMAN — tops out between 11,000 and 12,000 OPM. A 5-inch random-orbit pad spinning 60% faster than the entire category isn't a performance edge; it's an inflated number, and running a pad that fast is more likely to burn a finish and chew through sandpaper than sand better.",
    "The spec sheet lists \"21 volts,\" despite the whole listing being pitched as compatible with 20V Max DeWalt batteries (which run 20V max / 18V nominal). That's an internal inconsistency, the kind that shows up when a spec sheet gets copy-pasted rather than verified against the actual battery platform.",
    "It's a bare tool with no battery included, but that fact doesn't show up clearly in the title the way it does on legitimate bare-tool listings — a buyer comparing this $46 price to a $65 complete kit above may not realize a compatible battery is still a separate purchase."

 "buyers_guide": [
  {
   "q": "Bare tool or a complete kit?",
   "a": "If you already own batteries and a charger for a brand — DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, RYOBI, CRAFTSMAN, Metabo HPT — buy the bare tool; it's cheaper and adds one more tool to a battery system you already have. If you're starting from scratch, a kit like the AVID POWER or BLACK+DECKER that bundles a battery and charger is the better value than buying a bare tool and a battery separately."
  },
  {
   "q": "Do I need variable speed?",
   "a": "Variable speed lets you slow the pad down for delicate work like veneer or paint prep, where full speed can burn or gouge, and speed it up for fast material removal. A single-speed tool like the CRAFTSMAN or BLACK+DECKER is fine for general use; if you sand a mix of materials, pay for the dial."
  },
  {
   "q": "How much runtime should I expect?",
   "a": "A cordless random orbital sander typically runs 20 to 40 minutes on a mid-size battery (2.0–3.0Ah), depending on speed and pressure. If you're sanding all day, keep a second battery charging, or consider a corded sander instead — see our corded random orbital sander picks."
  },
  {
   "q": "Dust bag or vacuum port?",
   "a": "A cloth dust bag is convenient but fills fast and lets fine dust through. A tool with a hose port — like the DEWALT, CRAFTSMAN, RYOBI, or Metabo HPT picks here — connects to a shop vac for far better dust collection, which matters more indoors than outside."
  },
  {
   "q": "Does battery voltage (18V vs 20V) matter?",
   "a": "Not directly for sanding power. \"20V MAX\" and \"18V\" are largely marketing conventions — DeWalt and Craftsman rate their packs at their maximum unloaded voltage (20V), while Makita and Milwaukee use the nominal voltage (18V) for the same class of battery. What matters is staying within one brand's battery platform, not comparing the number on the box across brands."
  },
  {
   "q": "Is a 5-inch pad standard on cordless sanders too?",
   "a": "Yes. Every sander on this list uses a 5-inch, 8-hole hook-and-loop pad, the same size and hole pattern as corded random orbital sanders, so sandpaper is interchangeable between the two."
