I've done a lot over the years and the more I do, the less I like it.
There are three main issues: Dust/dirt, noise and vibration. After
owning and using almost every type and brand, I've finally found one
that makes the best of a bad job:

It has the best dust collection and the least vibration of anything
I've ever used and it also has decent power for small to mid-sized
jobs.

I also own a Bosch quarter sheet sander for doing fine finish work and
it is an excellent product also.

Canadian guy is redoing his Grady. Swears by a Festool Rotex. Adjustable
aggressiveness, and vacuum cleaner hookup.

The Bosch that I have has a speed adjustment and can also be hooked up
to a vacuum. I originally bought it because it was highly rated for
low vibration level. Vibration is a big fatigue factor with long
usage and can also lead to nerve damage and circulatory issues.
