Best for a tight DIY budget

Under about £35, three corded 125 mm orbitals are the shortlist. The Yunirvana QD6206R is £22.66, 280 W, six speeds, 4.3 from 82, with no stated voltage and reports of a unit dead after 30 minutes. The cheaper DEKOPRO, DKOS30XL125, is £27.99 with six speeds and 300 W. Its 4.2 from 4,497 matches the £30.99 page, the bag misses a lot, and the voltage row says 220 Volts. The Black+Decker BEW210-GB is £30.95, 4.3 from 863, 240 Volts, and no speed dial. Reviewers had the disc fall off the pad. How they sit against a bench tool is on the buying guide.

Best corded mid-range

The top pick for a corded palm sander is the Bosch PEX 220 A: £48.49, 125 mm, 1.29 kg, 220 W, and 4.5 from 4,335 ratings. Speed is fixed, and dust reviews split between a useful microfilter and a filter that clogs. Skip it if you need a dial or a bench disc. The PEX 400 AE is £105.00, 350 W, 4.4 from 328, with a speed dial and a front grip. The dust-box shell falls off, and the voltage row says 220 Volts. Pad alignment is on the how to use page.

Best bench options

The KATSU 101720 is the only pure disc station: £49.99, 140 W, a 125 mm disc, six speeds, and 4.1 from 21 ratings. The table runs from −10° to +50°. It slows when you lean on it, and two buyers had switch faults. Skip it for door faces. The Bucktool MM491GV is £159.99: 370 W, a 100 × 915 mm belt, a 150 mm disc and 13 kg, with 5.0 from one review. That is not enough to call it the best bench sander. The method choice is on the bench versus handheld page.

Premium orbital

The MAXXT R7303-UK-5.0 is £169.99 only if you accept the fault reports. The title states a 5.0 mm orbit. The table prints about 150 mm and 2.33 kg, while the bullets claim 1.27 kg and up to 10,000 RPM. amazon.co.uk shows 4.0 from 71 ratings. One owner reported a large electric shock, and other reviews mention motors dying.

Best bare cordless for Makita 18 V

The Lnopever SGJ-01 is £42.99 if Makita 18 V packs are already on the shelf. The table states 18 Volts and 19,000 RPM. The diameter field is empty, so the 125 mm pad is a claim. amazon.co.uk shows 5.0 from three ratings. Batteries and a charger are extra.

Common questions

What is the best cheap orbital under £35?
The cheaper DEKOPRO at £27.99 is the best-value pick under £35 if you want six speeds and you will check the 220 V row and the plug. The Black+Decker at £30.95 has 4.3 from 863 ratings and no speed dial. The Yunirvana at £22.66 is the lowest price, with early failures and no stated voltage. None of the three is a bench disc.
Is the Bosch PEX 220 A still worth it?
At £48.49 and 4.5 from 4,335 ratings, it is the top pick for a corded 125 mm orbital in this set. Reviewers get through furniture and decorating with it, and it is light at 1.29 kg. You give up a speed dial, and several people find the microfilter box clogs.
Which bench disc is the one to buy here?
The KATSU at £49.99 is the only bench disc, and it suits light work if you clamp it and keep the pressure gentle. The Bucktool at £159.99 adds a belt, weighs 13 kg, and has a single review. Do not treat that one five-star rating as a test.
Should I pay for the MAXXT?
Pay £169.99 only if you specifically want a stated 5.0 mm orbit and a pad around 150 mm, and you have read the shock and motor-failure reviews. The listing’s own bullets and technical table do not agree on weight or top speed. For most furniture jobs the PEX 220 A has far more UK ratings and costs less.
Are the two DEKOPRO listings the same sander?
They share the model name DKOS30XL125, the same bullet claims, and the same UK review texts in our capture. They are still two amazon.co.uk pages. B0D9VTX51B is £27.99 with a 220 V row and 1.64 kg. B0B28LHK7Z is £30.99 with a 230 V row and 1.41 kg, and a technical line that says AC adapter. Do not add the two 4,497 counts together.
Which listing has the weakest dust story?
No listing here is dust-free. The clearest complaints are the Bosch PEX 400 AE box that falls off, the PEX 220 A filter that clogs, and the Black+Decker and DEKOPRO bags that let dust into the room. The KATSU and Bucktool at least list a vacuum port, with no extractor in the box.
