6,255 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
With 1,000 buyers choosing it every month and 6,255 total reviews at a 4.6-star average, the WEN 6307 is the most actively purchased belt sander in this comparison by a significant margin. At $28.10, it is also the least expensive, which partly explains the volume, but a 4.6-star rating at that scale reflects genuine owner satisfaction rather than impulse buying.
The 6307 runs on 2 amps at 20 volts with a belt speed of 1,800 RPM and weighs 2.4 pounds. That 2-amp draw at 20 volts puts this firmly in the light-duty category: this is not a tool for aggressive material removal on thick hardwoods. Its strength is the combination of ultralight weight and a price that makes it easy to add to a shop without budget pressure.
For craft sanding, furniture touch-ups, and small project prep work, the WEN 6307 is well matched. Buyers who need more power will need to look at the 6-amp to 9-amp models in this group, but for the use case this tool targets, few alternatives match its value proposition.
Pros
- 1,000 monthly buyers and 6,255 reviews is the strongest demand signal in this category
- 4.6-star rating at very high review volume confirms consistent owner satisfaction
- At $28.10, the lowest price point in this group by a clear margin
- 2.4-pound weight makes it easy to maneuver for detail and craft work
- 1,800 RPM at 2 amps suits light sanding tasks without over-engineering
Cons
- 2-amp motor is not adequate for aggressive stock removal or heavy paint stripping
- Lower power limits usefulness on thick hardwoods or large flat panels needing significant material removal
- 20-volt spec is lower than standard line voltage tools, suggesting this is a smaller-format sander

What buyers say
The 6,255-review pool for the WEN 6307 is one of the most informative in the category. Owners consistently praise the low weight, ease of use, and remarkable value for the price. The most common critical feedback focuses on the expected limitation of its 2-amp power for larger or tougher jobs, which buyers who read the specs in advance tend not to consider a surprise.

Frequently asked questions
Can the WEN 6307 handle sanding hardwood furniture?
For light finish passes on hardwood furniture, the WEN 6307 is adequate. Its 2-amp motor and 1,800 RPM mean it works best with fine-grit belts on surfaces that do not need heavy material removal. For rough sanding or grain leveling on hardwood, a 6-amp to 9-amp tool will perform better.
How does the WEN 6307 compare to the WEN 6321?
The WEN 6321 runs at 7 amps versus the 6307's 2 amps, and the 6321 is priced at $38.79 versus $28.10 for the 6307. The 6321 handles heavier tasks; the 6307 is the lighter, more affordable option for craft and detail work.
