Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Options for Random Orbit Sander were only two (in case I'm in Europe):
1. Bosch GEX 125-1 AE (ROS20VSK)
2. Makita BO5031K
Well... at first, after engineering comparison of both models deep inside (looked at manufacturer's parts layout), we can see, that Bosch has two ball bearings, and Makita has three ball bearings, one of them is oversized for longer tool life. One more thing about Bosch ball bearings: both of them are replaceable only with armature in one piece. It would be very expensive repair after warranty ending.
At second, Makita has more power.
At third, Makita is cheaper.
At fourth, both models perform sanding very well.
At fifth, why pay more for tool, which has less advantages?
I bought Makita BO5031K, and I'm very satisfied. It starts and stops smoothly. On-off switch is protected from dust, comfortable in use, and in case of convenience is identical to Bosch.
