Is the Bosch ROS20VSC good for beginners?

Yes. It is light, low-vibration and simple to control, which makes it a common first random orbital sander for DIYers.

Does it use standard sanding discs?

It takes 5-inch hook-and-loop discs, which are widely available in many grits.

Yes. The low speed settings and smooth action suit light sanding between finish coats.

Yes, a dust canister is included. It can also be connected to a shop vacuum with the right adapter.

It removes material more slowly but leaves a finer, swirl-free finish, so it is better for final sanding than for stripping.
