I haven’t used that specific model, but we gave up on pneumatic sanders because they pulled the compressor down almost right away and sometimes they would freeze up as moisture formed as a result of pressure release at sander. All in all I believe the electric sanders are best + you can run several at the same time, i,f you are lucky enough to have anyone willing to do what have to rank very high on the worst job in the world, list!

What electric models do you like JJ? I would like one with a vacuum attachment of course.

We have tried them all, but for the money I don’t think you can beat the Ridgid DA sold at Home Depot for $60ish! It has a debris bag, but I don’t think it gathers all that much. It’s a damned nasty job with white dust billowing all over the place! Wear a good mask and turn on the fans and blow the shop out when through! 60 grit seems to work the best, but you can get other opinions on that?
Hope this helps,
