Best Value Belt Sander with Frame?

pealy

Looking for a belt sander (must have a frame) and best price I have found is Erbauer ERB907 at Screwfix for £50+del. I'll probably only use it for this one task so don't need best quality.

Machine Mart had a Black & Decker KA85EK advertised for £34 but I phoned and none are (or will be) available. The do have a KA85E for £52, is it a better brand than Erbauer?

I work for the manufacturer of the Erbauer products and know these are good, they are benchmarked against the likes of B&D and come with a 2 year warranty.

I would go for the Erbauer, but is that being biased?

Just ordered the Erbauer so I hope your recommendation isn't just bias!

So far the Erbauer sander has been excellent (about an hours of use so far). Fixing the sanding frame is slightly fiddly but generally I'm very happy. Considering this is the cheapest I could find with a sanding frame, the quality is excellent.

I was expecting the belts to fly off and for it to lack power but it's given me no problems at all. Even comes in a good plastic carry case.
