Works perfectly, and the bad belt design in all the bad reviews has been replaced!!!
Was hesitant about this because of the bad reviews because of the poor cog-type belt. After using the sander for about an hour, with no problems, I checked out the belt. It is NOT the same belt that was noted in all the bad reviews. It is a splined belt and seems to be very durable! The only place you can buy replacements right now is at the WEN website: Item # 6502B-170 Description [6502B-170] V-Groove Belt 155J for WEN 6502. I went on and bought two, just in case. But after using the sander for at least 3-4 more hours now, I don't think I'll ever need them. Great sander, but buy some good silicon carbide belts such as these bought on Amazon also: Sackorange 4 x 36 Inch High Performance Silicon Carbide Sanding Belts - Premium Knife Sharpening Sanding Belts Assortment 120 240 400 600 800 and 1000 Grits.

Remember what you paid, and you'll be happy with it.
4 stars is based on the price of this sander. It has issues. But I can't help remembering how little it costs, and it gets the job done. As others have said, you can't overload this thing. It'll stop, trip it's breaker, overheat, and generally throw a temper tantrum. So far I've always been able to get it back up and running, but I have to be careful to not put too much pressure on the belt. Yes, the table is flimsy and the miter gauge is darn near useless. And if you trust the taped labels you deserve what you get. But my biggest gripe is the dust management. The dust port is unnecessarily flimsy. It's bolted to the side...surely it could have been attached better. Even with good airflow, dust will gather at the top of the belt like snow on a fence. Then, with that snowcap in place, fresh dust seems to bounce off into the air, creating a fog of dust in the shop. To avoid this, between pieces I have to tap the side to dislodge the trapped dust. Even with that, I can't fault this sander to much. The reality is that it's making my life much, much easier right now and I'm getting pieces done infinitely faster than without it. Some day I'll probably replace it with a note powerful version. But only because I use it probably 10 hours a week when I'm producing certain items. If you only need it occasionally and for relatively light work, you'll likely never need anything better. Oh, and I have used the disc as well and found it to be more than adequate. Just remember the table isn't for precision work. But it removes martial easily and fast.

Can't, in good conscience, recommend this product
Update: Can't recommend this product. Never received the replacement part from Wen. Now the pulley that was the initial problem won't stay on the machine long enough to get any sanding done. And I don't use it for anything remotely beyond light duty. My advice: spend a little extra and buy another brand. Not a bad little sander the weekend woodworker. The motor won't handle a heavy load which makes the belt tricky to use, but the disc works great. I noticed a few reviews mentioned the table, and yes, if you apply enough force to the outside edge of the table, it will shift out of square, but I haven't had any issues when using it as intended. Like I said the belt will bog down under heavier pieces. One thing I also want to mention: several reviews memtion defects of one kind or another. After about two weeks of use, my unit developed a rattle. After some investigation, I found that the screw holding on the lower pulley had worked loose. I tightened it and went back to work, but it happened again. And again. And again. I called the company and reported the issue. Their customer service was great, on the phone. They promised to send out a replacement part that I still have never received (3months later). I put a dab of thread locker on the screw and the problem hasn't resurfaced.

Highly recommended, but I did some upgrades
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Update 10/19/2020: I love this sander. I only use it to sand steel, so I did change the sanding belt to one that is made for metal (ceramic instead of the original aluminum oxide). I have no complaints so far, and I use this sander every other day. This is the same exact sander that is sold under the Ryobi name. I was looking for the Ryobi at the local big box hardware store but they were all out. Luckily I could buy this one instead as it is cheaper. There are a few modifications I have done to this sander. First one is the change of one of the welded nuts for the platform/stop used on the belt sander portion. I can now use the platform/stop when the belt sander is in the upright vertical position. I changed the M6 threaded hole to a welded M8 but to accept the two socket head cap screws. See two attached photos. I then modified the tilt platform to accept the M8 bolt. So the tilt platform can work on both belt and disc sander portions. I threaded a M8 bolt to accept the M6 thumb screw (which is used to tighten the tilt platform). See video. I also added a plastic cable clamp to hold the 6mm hex wrench under the bed of the belt sander. You need a 6mm hex wrench(Allen key) to loosen the pinch bolt for the belt sander (when rotating from horizontal to vertical and vice versa) as well as the metal platform/stop for the belt sander. I purchased zirconia sanding belt/disc from another website as I plan to sand metal and not wood. I noticed others mentioned in using this for knife making. The unit is pretty heavy and am not sure if I need to bolt it down. Speed is adequate for the work I plan to use it for sanding various metal pieces, primarily for automotive purposes). Changing belts is easy, as well as changing the 6” sanding disc (pressure sensitive adhesive). I will update this review once I get to use it more.
