WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The price buys a compact brushless drive, unusually low height and mass, low measured vibration, a rotating extraction fitting and replaceable pads—not a cosmetic badge. Independent comparison found it excellent for vertical/overhead work, although not demonstrably faster than Festool in that particular test.

MATERIALS

MotorBrushless electric motor

Eliminates carbon-brush wear and keeps the tool compact.

HousingLightweight polymer body

The low 1 kg-class form and low centre of gravity reduce hand and hose fatigue.

PadHook-and-loop, 125/150 mm interchangeable pad system

Allows common disc sizes and replacement wear parts.

CRITERIA

9/10

Finish Control

Independent comparison found surface quality indistinguishable from ETS EC; 5 mm orbit is controlled rather than geared.

8/10

Material Removal

FineWoodworking found excellent removal with vacuum; Wood Whisperer did not find a speed advantage over ETS EC.

9/10

Dust Capture

Through-pad central-vacuum design; FineWoodworking reported excellent collection when vacuumed.

10/10

Vibration Ergonomics

Low 1 kg-class body, 95 mm height and reported 3.4 m/s² vibration support continuous use.

9/10

Durability Service

Brushless architecture avoids brush wear; pads and cable are replaceable.

8/10

Usability Compatibility

125/150 mm pads are supplied in common variants, but best extraction relies on a vacuum.

IDEAL FOR

·Daily finishing work
·Vertical panels and ceilings
·Dust-controlled cabinetry

NOT FOR

·Low-budget occasional use
·Users who dislike paddle switches
·Vacuum-free sanding

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

An exceptionally low, paddle-controlled body feels like an extension of the hand. The low centre of gravity is superb on vertical work; some woodworkers will prefer a conventional on/off switch.

LONGEVITY

Brushless drive removes a common wear item; pads, cables and accessories are available through Mirka dealers. Plan on a vacuum and correctly perforated abrasive for the intended dust performance.
