Anybody have any good recs for an electric sander?

I've got a palm sander from Harbor Freight that just isn't doing the job. Like this..


Would an orbital or sheet sander serve me best, and is there a lot of difference between those and the sander i already have.

Looking at something like this, i just want to make sure it's worth it.

I pick up some things from Harbor freight (thankful we just got one by the house) but there are a lot of things that for the small price difference I won't get there. This is what I use. I caught it on sale earlier this year.

Sander

I love it, but this is the only one I can really speak to as its been this or hand sanding for me.

I have a dewalt orbital that i got free from from the company when I bought something else (I don't remember what though). I've had it for probably 10-12 years and i've never had a single issue out of it and have probably used it on every piece i've made in that time.

That Ridgid is a pretty decent sander. My wife got me the trim router for Christmas and that sander came with it.
