An electric drywall sander is a long-reach, head-mounted sander for smoothing joint compound on walls and ceilings. Most connect to a vacuum hose or have a built-in dust bag, and have a telescoping or foldable handle.
The six sanders below run from 5 amp models with a 15 foot hose to 8.5 amp models with built-in vacuum bags. Speeds, discs and dust features come from each listing page. We have not used these products ourselves. Follow the manual for dust protection and use.

Drywall Sander FAQ
Do they include a vacuum?
The WEN models use a hose to your own vacuum. The others list a bag or built-in system.
Are speed figures consistent?
Not always. The MAXXT and MYTOL pages mix figures, so we note the conflicts.
The Short Version
For a hose and six grits, the WEN 6369. For two heads, the WEN DW5084. For a digital display, the MYTOL. For a higher speed range, the MAXXT. For a built-in vacuum, the KUPERIA. For a brush pad, the VEVOR.
