One of my Festool sanders was the one in which they offered an introductory price of $99.

It has a been well worth the $100 and my most used sander, but not on a daily basis.
The first Festool sander (RO 150) in which I paid a handsome price and over priced was a 6 inch sander. As I mentioned once before, my mom who wanted me to re-do her tile walled bathroom in '96 but NO DUST, I bought the then high priced Fein Multi-tool, and it did a EXCELLENT JOB with little to no dust. IN the same demeanor, my wife told me she did nothing NOT want any dust when redoing several walls in this old house with lath and plaster walls. I did research on lowest dust and Festool came up several times. It is overpriced but it had the reputation of lowest dust with the 1 inch hose Festool Vac. I was not going to pay that much for a 1 inch hosed vac. The Fein vac has done excellent. The 6 inch Festool has done well and does excellent with dust control with the Fein.
IF I had known then what I know now, I would probably have gone with a Bosch and the Fein, but like my mom, LOML was insistent on No DUST. Where were you when I needed your advice back then?
