I have the Ridgid sander and it is a great compliment to the bandsaw. I have the two tools directly across from each other for convenient access and it functions quite well with no problems encountered and seems to be a good value (though I think I saw recently that they had a recent price increase). I use a combination shop vac / dust deputy for dust collection (functions well) though at some point I may plumb it into my main DC system. If you don't have one, I would recommend and abrasive cleaning stick and it can do a good job of sander cleaning when needed.
