Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a tool only, so you need a Ryobi ONE+ 18V battery and charger, or an existing set from other ONE+ tools.

What sandpaper does it use?

It takes 5 in. hook-and-loop discs with pre-cut dust holes. The included set covers 80, 120 and 220 grit.

Is it good for removing a lot of material?

It is a finishing sander. At 10,000 OPM it smooths and refines well, but heavy stock removal goes faster with a belt sander or a more powerful corded model.

How does it compare with the previous Ryobi model?

The main changes are 40% less vibration and the same 10,000 OPM speed, with the same 5 in. hook-and-loop pad and ONE+ battery compatibility.

Can I connect a vacuum for dust collection?

Yes. The sander has a dust port for a hose, and the paper's pre-cut holes line up to pull dust through the pad.

The sander, a 7-piece 5 in. sandpaper assortment in 80, 120 and 220 grit, and an operator's manual. Battery and charger are not included.

What reviewers say

Owners on the ONE+ platform treat it as a convenient cordless finishing sander that saves dragging a cord and shares batteries with their other Ryobi tools. Most praise the low vibration and easy paper changes; the main complaints center on needing to buy batteries separately and on dust collection.

What people mention

VibrationPraisedOwners say the reduced vibration makes longer sanding sessions easier on the hands than the previous model.
Paper changesPraisedThe hook-and-loop pad is called out as fast and secure for swapping grits.
Finish qualityPraisedUsers report a swirl-free finish on wood and painted surfaces at the 10,000 OPM speed.
