Upper eschalon of orbital sanders! Dec 20, 2009
I have read other reviews and have not had any problems controlling this sander. Weak people need not work with power tools to begin with, it is unsafe. I have found that if you use "cheap" disks that they are more prone to tear and therefore will rip your pad, beware. Gator disks are one brand that will fail you. Yes it can be very aggressive, but that is why they make different grits of disks! The Hitachi really whacks the Porter Cable and the Dewalt in my book! It is a very comfortable tool. Great orbital sander if you know what you are doing.

Great sander, ok dust bag. Jul 05, 2009
We used this sander to do an entire table, 2 benches, and a chair. We will also be using it for quite a few more chairs. It does a great job and even my wife has no trouble controlling it. I don't know why so many reviewers say they can't control it. To those who say they have trouble controlling this sander, I would highly recommend you stay away from more dangerous power tools. This sander is great, and I would highly recommend it. The only issue I have with it is the dust bag. It's not that I expect it to catch all of the dust, although that would be nice. The problem is that it will send dust towards your face at certain angles. Even with my safety goggles on I would occasionally get dust in my eyes. If not for this one problem I would give it 5 stars. It's a simple enough fix though, I just sand in a way that it doesn't spray in my direction. Great product, easy to use.

A Useful Role Player May 03, 2009
With four other sanders ahead of it, I probably wouldn't have purchased this except it came free as a promotion with my Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw. That said, I was interested in the sander and do see a place for it in my power tool inventory. A couple of observations:

1. This is probably not the tool I would reach for when I want to put the finishing touches on fine furniture. This model has lots of power and gets rid of material in a hurry. A certain amount of user finesse is required in using a single speed sander and if you don't have it, you can get in trouble in a hurry. An awkward on/off switch and a slightly blocky feel further complicate matters.

2. I haven't yet experienced the kind of problems some are reporting with the hook & loop pad. I've had to replace pads on competitive Bosch and Porter Cable products. Pad life can be prolonged by firmly seating sandpaper discs, periodically cleaning dust out of the pad with an airgun and letting the sander do the work without applying too much pressure.

I think this model will probably wind up as my workhorse sander. I can see it functioning effectively when I have lots of stock or paint to remove from larger surfaces.

Bad hook and loop pad design Jul 08, 2008
I have replaced a DeWalt palm sander with the Hitachi SV13YB sander. I am doing remodeling on my home and am in the process of sanding the exterior (old 105 siding), getting ready for painting.

My 22-year-old son has been using the first one I bought, continuously, for three days. A couple days ago, I went and bought another one in hopes of joining him and making the work go doubly fast. However, just as I was about to break out the new one and begin using it, my son came to me and told me the sanding disks would not stay on the sanding pad. I went and checked it out, and sure enough he was right. So, after only three days, I'm looking at a nonfunctional sander. He is now using the new one and I will have to find something else to do, until I can get this one repaired.

The hook and loop sanding pad on this unit may be a good idea, but is either a bad design or uses inferior materials.

Good sander. Bad pad. Feb 14, 2008
UPDATED REVIEW:
I'd originally posted a review complaining that the hook and loop pad went slick too fast. That much is still true. However, after some searching, I found that one of the Dewalt backing pads fits perfectly! It's the one for the DW421 and DW423 and it's the exact screw pattern of the Hitachi pad. Probably same manufacturer. Anyway, problem solved as far as I'm concerned (provided this one doesn't have the same problem).

Beyond that, it's a reasonably priced sander with good power, good dust collection, and unlike another reviewer, I find it's easy to control. So if you don't mind expecting to upgrade your backing pad, I think this sander is worth the price. If you'd rather not, maybe spend a bit more on a Dewalt or P/C sander.
