Review: Dust collector works great to signficantly reduce airborne mess, worked great to sand pine cat tree - Amazing sander for the price. We got this to work on refinishing a cat tree and wanted something that could collect dust on the unit. You should still wear a mask as it doesn't get 100%, but it does handle a lot of it. Also went with corded as we're mainly a Milwaukie household, so didn't have any Bosch batteries on available. This was great about not leaving any marks on the pine pieces we were working on as well as sanding down varnish between coats. You'll want to allow it to glide over surfaces rather than pressing down. The grip is comfortable, and the sandpaper is pretty easy to switch and does a great job of staying on. It doesn't really fit into corners well, so for that we did switch to the Milwaukie detailing sander. They complemented each other well, especially as our goal was to avoid manual sanding as much as possible due to chronic pain. It's powerful enough that we didn't even need to turn it up too high and is overall not too loud to operate. Great tool, really happy with its performance and priced perfectly.
Review: Easy to Use and Great for DIY Projects - This Bosch palm sander has been a great addition to my DIY tool collection. It’s easy to use, comfortable to hold, and makes sanding much faster and easier than doing it by hand. The variable speed gives me good control depending on the project, and the sander runs smoothly. I also appreciate the built-in dust collector, which helps reduce the amount of dust during sanding. Overall, it’s a well-made tool that performs exactly as I expected. If you’re a DIYer looking for a reliable random orbital sander, I would definitely recommend this one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this and the ROS20VSK version? Just the carrying bag? Does the 'K' version have anything this one does not?**
A: Thank you for your question. The ROS20VS is the same sander in both kits. The difference is the ROS20VCS will have a soft canvas carrying bag and the ROS20VSCK will include a hard carrying case. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499)

**Q: will the dust collection connection on the sander body accept a vacuum hose?**
A: There is an adapter (part # VAC002) that will adapt the sander to  standard vacuum hose sizes (1-1/4" & 1-1/2" hoses).

**Q: My new ros20vsc, set at 6, slows noticeably if i just set it on a suface to sand.  is this normal?**
A: Thank you for your question. The ROS20VSC Orbit sander normally has a slow start, however, if it is for the whole time you are using the tool with the speed of 6, we might need to evaluate it. Kindly contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

**Q: Is 1/16" cupping in the disc normal?**
A: I would say that a small amout of "cupping" is normal.  As to 1/16 of an inch, I think that is a little much.  Most of the sanding takes place on the outer edge of the disc.  As it rotates the dust is sucked into the 8 holes in the center of the disc.  In order to flatten out the disc, you would have to put more pressure than normal.  My experience with this brand of random orbit sander is that the more pressure you put on the sander, the slower the disc turns.  You need to have at least a moderate rate of rotation to keep putting new cutting surfaces forward and to get a decent "scrambling" of sanding marks.If your sander is older, you may want to purchase a new disc.  They are relatively inexpensive.  If the sander is newer you may want to see if the dealer or manufacturer will replace the disc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lives up to the name
*by D***K on December 10, 2025*

I’d call this a light-medium duty tool, meant mostly for finishing work, and I’m very satisfied with it so far. I’ve used it for maybe 25 hours in the short time I’ve owned it, and I’m still pleased. I bought it because multiple other reviewers had commented on how well the dust containment worked, and that was imperative to me since I have a small workspace. The dust containment has lived up to the reviews, and sometimes I turn it on just to suck up dust I’m made while hand-sanding. It has variable power, and the maximum is solidly adequate for the duty level of the tool. The variable motion is effective, and it won’t leave marks unless you push down on it or leave it against the work while switching off. I’ve found the shape and surface of the grip surfaces to be very comfortable no matter how long you use it. The tool is also just barely heavy enough to sand most things under its own weight, which is a necessity. A feature I like a lot, whether it was intended or not, is that the balance of the weight of the motor vs the grip is such that it is very easy to maneuver and control when it’s being used on something other than a horizontal surface. Finally, it feels rock solid. I’ll admit that I haven’t dropped it or really challenged it’s strength in a meaningful way because I haven’t owned it for that long, so I can’t prove it, but it feels just like all of the other sturdy tools I’ve had, and the motor seems to cool itself effectively enough that I’m not really worried about the motor. Great tool, and I look forward to the thousands of hours I intend to put on it.
