Seriously, I've been finish sanding a few rooms for a bit now. So glad I masked up.
Should have gone all out with a face shield also, silly me.

see this is where I need help lol. This is my profession, drywall + finishing + sanding + painting and I love it. 27 years in.
I've tried the vacuum sanders, they're ok, but you can't get good finishing sanding disks for them. I've only ever seen them offer 150 grit and that's way too much for finish sanding = scratches too easy and too often.
I use 180grit for screws / nails and edging. The actual flats / butt joints and angles get 220 grit.
I have a nice Bosch sander that I can put any grit paper on. I just have to poke some holes through it. Will never go back. Marshalltown sells a manual sanding block too. The cool thing with the manual one is the suction regulates the pressure the block puts to the wall so you don't have highs and lows from uneven pressure in your sanding stroke.
Yes, the one I've tried is very much like the 2nd one you mentioned. I can't remember who makes it, but it's not a name I recognize. If I could get 180 grit in the disks, I would most likely be using that system. It's over a grand here, but it would definitely be worth it. Maybe I'll have a look online and see if I can find it.
