I have a Milwaukee orbital sander and I am pleased with it.

I had a blue one, I forget the name but the paper wouldn't stick and you could stop it easily. I bought a Rigid 5" and I love it. If I had to buy another one I would get the same thing. It is hard to stop it and has power to spare.

I've got grey, yellow, blue and green. Can't offer any current advice, but the green is very nice (and pricey, kinda' like tractors, lol).

I've got a few Dewalts, I can recommend them at their price point. They would be MY choice...but...I haven't bought new for a number of years. I wouldn't buy a Dewalt drill (again, on year's old thinking).

They all have their +/- , but like everything else, it comes down to the $ you're willing to spend.

For any carpentry guys (I've been looking at some old shop pics....sorry to the op for muddlin'):
