Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dustless Technologies 50001 Turbo Drywall Sander with 7-Foot Extendable Pole
Customer Review: Don't even waste your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this sander about 2 years ago through Grizzly Industries. I was remodelling my kitchen and wanted a dustless sander. The Porter Cable sander was a little steep in price , so I ordered the Loveless sander. What a piece of garbage. First I wouldn't remove much of the drywall compound no mater what grit I used. If you went to a courser grit it would only leave deep scratches on the wall. The other problem was that the head kept flipping over and gouging out my freshly spackled wall. I even tried to hold the unit in my hand without the sanding stick and it still didn't remove much material. Sometimes you just can't beat the old manual $25 sanding stick. I just recently threw out the Loveless sander. You can't give it away to anyone you know because you know that it will ruin their work. I had only used it once for a total of 30 minutes and put it back in the box. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some money. This product will be a big disappointment if you buy it.Customer Review: Very weak - but it is dustless
Summary: 2 Stars
Very weak - but it is dustless. In fact, mine sits in my basement and creates no dust. I found this unit worthless for drywall finishing in a new installation or a large remodel (also Amazon didnt have the coarser grit papers I needed). I think this unit may be useful for very small repairs where dust is not acceptable however, I found a manual sander for $19.95 with a "dustless" system that uses a bucket of water to trap the dust before it enters a regular shop vac. I find this $20 system (without the bucket of water)works much better than the "turbo sander". I do connect the manual dustless sander to the loveless vacuume and unless you get very aggressive with sanding on a wall, it collects all of the dust produced.. The loveless vacuume is great - it is quiet, powerful, and doesnt loose suction even after hours of sanding and cleanup.Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Yeah, like everyone else I wanted a cheaper version of the Porter unit. This meets the letter of that request. If this unit is used slowly on surfaces requiring relatively little material removal, results are tolerable. If, however, you use this to smooth an area that you had to "sculpt" in (transitioning from plaster to drywall or special contours, for instance) you will be disappointed...or worse. Unit bogs down with relatively little pressure, so go slow and let the machine work at its' own pace. Unit does not get into the last 1/2" or so on inside corners...so be prepared to finish those by hand. If you don't buy their REALLY expensive vac, try a good shopvac with the available drywall dust bags...eliminated filter clogging problems and airborne dust.Customer Review: WORTH EVERY PENNY
Summary: 5 Stars
I found the Love-Less Drywall sander to be just about the best drywall product that I have owned. It cuts the job of sanding drywall in half. When teamed up with the Love-Less Drywall Vac it made for the cleanest sanding job that I have every done.I found the sander to be fairly light and easy to use, even over and extended period of time. The extendable pole allows the sanding of ceilings without your feet leaving the floor. The pivoting head allows the sander to get into some tight spots.
The best part of this sander is the price. It does a fabulous job at less than half the price of other powered drywall sanders.
