Does the job very well. It is heavy buy they all are, the electric motor is right at the end, along with the sanding disks, so bound to be heavy on the arms. Otherwise well balanced. It does not have LED lights but I have not really missed these, saves a bit of weight as well I should think. Well put together and comes with a very handy hard plastic case. It has variable speed control, which is useful. Dust gets extracted well but this would depend to a large extent on how powerful your 'hoover' is. I use a Nilfisk Aero 26 with a power take off. This fills with powder from the sander very quickly, which is good!
