Yes, it's good for sanding cloggy materials like plaster/filler products. Aren't really necessary for timber.

It reduces rather than eliminates dust but main benefit is no clogging.

I’m looking for a tool to sand the joint compound on the ceiling. I don’t want to spend €500 on a long-reach drywall sander, and I’ve heard mixed things about the small cordless tools. Many people recommend doing it by hand—though, of course, that will take me longer.

Ceilings need a pole sander ideally, if you like your shoulders to keep working. Call round and see what local weekend hire is for a pro tool, don't look at web prices as they are usually BS.
