173 owner reviews, fewer 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
The R86064B operates on an 18-volt (DC) battery at 3 amps, reaching 14,000 RPM on the sanding pad. At 3.2 pounds and measuring 8.25 by 6.25 by 6 inches, it is the heaviest cordless sheet sander in this batch and slightly larger than the DEWALT DCW200B. For users already holding 18-volt batteries from a compatible platform, the $139.00 bare-tool price is the relevant comparison point.
The 14,000 RPM output matches the top speed spec in this category, putting its raw sanding performance on par with both the leading corded and the DEWALT 20V cordless models. The 3-amp battery draw at 18 volts is the published rating, though specific runtime figures are not listed.
With 173 reviews at 4.6 stars and 0 units bought last month, the R86064B has a narrower owner data pool than the other cordless option in this batch. The strong average rating from those who do purchase it is a positive signal, but buyers looking for the deepest confidence in an 18-volt cordless sheet sander should weigh the DEWALT DCW200B's much larger review base against their platform investment.
Pros
- 14,000 RPM output matches the highest speed spec in this category
- 18-volt platform compatibility suits buyers with existing battery investments
- 4.6-star rating from 173 reviews reflects owner satisfaction
- Compact 8.25 by 6.25-inch footprint suits a range of work surfaces
Cons
- 3.2 lbs is the heaviest cordless sheet sander in this batch, adding fatigue on extended use
- 173 reviews provides less purchase confidence than category leaders with 1,000-plus reviews
- 0 units bought last month limits data on current availability and demand

Performance notes
Battery powered at 18V (DC), 3-amp rating, delivering 14,000 RPM. Body measures 8.25 by 6.25 by 6 inches and weighs 3.2 pounds. Runtime depends on battery capacity (not published in the listing). The heavier weight versus the DEWALT DCW200B (2.1 lbs) is a practical consideration for overhead or prolonged vertical sanding.
What buyers say
Owners who review the R86064B highlight its cordless convenience and consistent sanding output as primary positives, particularly for users already in the same battery platform. The smaller review pool limits data on edge cases and long-term durability. No dominant negative theme emerges from the 173 reviews, which skew positive at 4.6 stars.
