Metabo and festool have the best (corded) orbital sanders, and potentially battery as well but havnt used the battery version.

Backing pads (velcro bits) coming off is relatively common problem. My battery milwaukee one did it 6 months ago. Trying to get a replacement is a bit tricky as i have the older model. Even though they use the same size pads they've changed the hole locations and they dont line up.

This is a common problem. Each manufacturer has their own individual way of doing things and most items are not compatible across brands. Obviously batteries are the obvious ones, but backing pads, vacuum hose fittings, there is a large list.

Pick a brand and hope they are easy to get replacement parts and batteries for otherwise your system is dead before you get going.
