Rank #1 in Best Orbital Sander 2026: 10 Models Ranked — and the Amp Figures That Don't Add Up
Bosch Professional GET 75-150 750 W Random Orbit Sander
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Bosch Professional GET 75-150 is the number-one pick in this guide to orbital sanders. It is a corded random-orbit sander with a 150 mm sanding pad, a 750 W motor and a maximum rotational speed listed at 7,300 RPM. The Amazon listing gives a price of £385.56, a rating of 4.7 from 47 reviews, and an amperage capacity of 3.26 A at 230 V.
That amp figure is the interesting part. At 230 V, a 750 W motor draws roughly 3.26 A, so the listing's amperage agrees with its wattage. In the Bosch PEX listings discussed in this guide, the amp figure simply repeats the wattage and is about 230 times too high. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing, not from a test we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“The media could not be loaded. Super sander from BoschUsing 3m xtract 80grit with my ancient Henry hoover makes light work of pine floorboards, hardly any dust at all. I'd recommend as I have lots of Bosch 18v tools as well.”
Verified purchase“I bought this for a very advantageous Amazon special price because I find the smaller diameter grip much easier to manage (as I get on in years). I have both the previous Bosch turbo version and the Festool Rotex sanders. They are my hardest working power tools. They are hugely flexible in use, managing both rapid removal of material and yet still capable of a remarkably fine finish (with good technique). The GET 75-150 feels easiest to handle and seems to run a tad smoother. A possible downside is that (unlike Festool) the Bosch uses reinforced nylon gears in the eccentric gearbox. These gears run quietly but they are much more likely to break (OEM No. 1607000DC5) if you inadvertently select driven mode before the sander has come to a complete stop; don't do it! The GET benefits from Bosch's three-year pro warranty.”
