Hey guys! Longtime visitor/reader, but I finally have a question so I joined up!

Festool's new RO90 sander is being released in the US in a couple weeks. I'm really interested in getting one, but I can't find any reviews online other than Festool's own or something that's really shallow, little more than a regurgitation of the specifications sheet.

Has anyone come across a decent review? It's been out in Europe for a while now, I'd be surprised that nobody has reviewed it. I know I can always return it, but I'd rather get a better idea without shelling out almost $400.

This is a good review with some outstanding video. The reviewer hasn't owned the tool for long so there isn't alot info from hands on experience. It's a very good overview of the tool so you'll have a much better understanding of what your buying (if you decided to get one).

Oh, when I did a google search that one came up but the little google snippet says he's "currently working on a review". Apparently he just finished and google hasn't caught up yet. Thanks, guys!
