Which one should you buy?

For most people the Bosch PEX 220 A at around 105 dollars is the best overall pick, pairing genuinely good dust extraction with a smooth, swirl-free random-orbital finish on a 125mm pad and the largest review base here, all on a corded plug so runtime is never a worry. Buy the Black and Decker 230W at 76 dollars if you just want the cheapest corded sander for occasional DIY, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V at 103 dollars if you already own Ryobi ONE+ batteries, or the Einhell Power X-Change at 107 dollars if you are in the Einhell battery family. Step up to the Milwaukee M18 at 175 dollars or the DeWalt 20V MAX at 241 dollars only if you are already on those trade platforms and want the strongest dust capture and lowest vibration, remembering both are sold as skins with no battery. The single best value, though, is the Bosch.
