Tools and Hardware Reviews of Magna MT800 Sand & Kleen Hand Sander SystemCustomer Review: Far Better Than Anticipated - It's Amazing Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for a small kitchen remodeling job for a customer that required serious dust control. When I first opened the box I was fairly disappointed with the appearance of the hose - - it seemed flimsy and small for the job. I figured I might as well give the sander a try.
I have got to say it is indeed noisy when first started. The whistling noise quiets down after you use it for a while. I did however wear ear plugs and shooters muffs to dampen the noise (I also had my iPod to keep me from going nuts when doing all the sanding). After using the sander for a while the whistling noise disappeared. I would, however, recommend the earplugs even if the sander doesn't whistle because the sound of the vacuum can be pretty overwhelming after using the sander for a period of time.
This sander is amazing. Within just a couple of minutes of use I could see that this thing was going to perform better than I expected. It captured virtually all the dust. Really, the only dust it didn't capture was when the pad got tipped or when sanding past a wall corner or edge.
When you get done sanding you end up with a bucket of water and sanding dust sludge on the bottom. I let the sludge settle out, poured off the water and then disposed of the sludge.
My advice is to invest in the 3M sanding screens for better sanding results. Also, a very light sanding of the finished surface with a pad with sandpaper or a long sanding sponge eliminates the sanding marks from the sanding screen. If you lose suction, check the hose to make sure it is not plugged as can happen after extended use.
I always doubted the ability of a vacuum sander to gather dust properly so always put off buying one. In this case, this is one of those products that I wish I would have known about years ago.
