The BEW230-GB is the model I'm referring to and your measurement of 905mm x 1300mm is exactly what I was after and could not seem to confirm anywhere. Problem solved and thank you very much for your reply.

I bought the exact sander many years ago to sand some window frames down. After about 2hrs use it vibrated itself apart & the section that holds the sandpaper on just fell off. Black & decker used to be a good brand many many moons ago but not anymore. Hope you have better luck than i did

Thanks for that. I'm not expecting much from it for £11, but hopefully it will surprise me

Can you tell me please the maximum length and width of the base plate that the sanding pad sticks to. I have looked everywhere but keep finding different results.

Two part answer! 1) The base on mine is 905mm x 1300mm ... however 2) The sanding pad that came with mine has a detachable top section, as I guess you wear that out the quickest as you are usually sanding into corners ... so a new sanding pad comes with two spare replaceable detachable sections on the top, see B&Q page below. So for instance the dimension that the B&Q page below is quoting the overall dimension of the pad ... including the detachable bits. It appears that B&Q sell a few different shapes of sandpaper in the search results for Black and Decker Mouse sander, so hopefully there aren't different sized sanders, all called Mouse :-( All the above is for the Black and Decker Mouse sander that I bought from B&Q in Nov 2023. Hope that clears it up for you? www.diy.com/departments/black-decker-x31024-mouse-sanding-sheets-assorted-pack-5-/5035048042618_BQ.prd **NOTE ** This B&Q page is purely to show you the shape of the pads. I don't think that these are necessarily the right ones for the sander that I have

It appears that B&Q do sell two different sanders, both called Mouse :-( Mine is the BEW230-GB, but they also sell a KA2500K and the sanding pads look like a different size ... so make sure you know which model you have before you get replacement pads. The page that I linked to appears to be saying that they are pads for the KA2500K ... but I included the link just to show the shape of the pads, i.e. with the detachable spare parts. Nightmare! I'm not surprised that you are finding confusing results when you are looking for replacements :-(
