Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Bosch PowerForAll
The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing.
PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions!
So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however.
As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable.
Important
You cannot use Bosch Pro (Blue) batteries in either 12v or 18v DIY (Green) products.

Excellent sander, reliable and easy to use . great design especially as the tip can sand into corners. great shape and the dust collect box is a good idea. used recently on several projects including restoring furniture and decorated the outside of the house, up a ladder and no lead! Making the job a lot easier! all round an excellent product at an excellent price from tooled up!
This sander is a well made professional tool.
An excellent piece of kit- well pleased.
The clincher for buying this unit was the integral dust collecting box. This proved a bit of a disappointment as there is very little suction evident. Consequently quite a high proportion of the dust enters the atmosphere. However, overall it performs very well and connected to a vacuum the dust problem is resolved, but this obviously reduces its ease of use.
Nice piece of kit. Does what its meant to. Excellent delivery time
Not as convenient as the prio it replaces - awkward to hold
Excellent little sander takes the drudgery out of sanding. Dust collector is a bit gimmicky but great value.
This is the best sander that i have ever owned and also at a great price. got it for sanding down old doors and had it done in quick time. the delivery time was great, delivered before 12.00 noon the day after ordering
Very handy powerful sander. Being cordless it is extremely useful when working at height. The built in dust bag is handy but blocks quickly if using on dusty substances such as plasterboard / filler. The hoover can be connected if doing a lot of indoor dusty work.
Light and powerful and ergonomic
Arrived in strong polythene packaging. Usual well designed bosch carrying box. Sander is well designed and built to bosch's usual high standard. A second battery would make the item better value for money as all bosch tools are at the upper end of the price range. I purchased this item as a tooled up had offered a very good price reduction. I probably would not have bought one full price. We will see how well this sander performs and lasts. Previous models i have owned have worked ver well but have not lasted as long as i would have expected for a premium product.
Efficient, versatile, convenient. Does what you want, where and when you want.
Bought for and used to prepare cabin cruiser for re-paint. very, very good at removing old varnish from wooden handles, rubbing-down painted fibreglass cabin. Abrasive pre-cuts fix onto velcro very easily - don't forget to rotate the front one to get the most out of it. The foot has some padding which allows some *give* for getting into corners and on curved surfaces. Very little dust - most goes into container at rear. Lasted a surprisingly long time (had two batteries, only used one!) also very little vibration - quite comfortable to use. Made a boring chore into a pleasure - now hunting for other rubbing-down projects. Recommended.
I didn't hesitate to buy this when i got an e-mail saying it was on offer. It's made by bosch that's good enough for me. I've got six other tools made by them and a dishwasher, none of which have ever let me down, so in my opinion it was bound to be a great tool. It came along at the right time as i was doing some woodwork. Being battery powered this is brilliant for carrying around, no need for a power point and no lead getting in the way. I bought a spare battery at the same time as it was also reduced. It charges up in 30 minutes so it's always ready to use.
Used a few times not for long so far but looks and feels great on first few uses. So far so good thanks
Really good bit of kit!
none
Not the most powerful hand sander but very easy to use. dust collector is good. battery is a little difficult to remove. second battery is useful for long jobs. it stopped working after nine months and had to be repaired under the warranty. it had had an awful lot of use over the nine months.
Looks a solid unit, however the battery keeps falling out of the sander unit. The battery is a havy unit so it could damage your foot if sanding at a height.
