I like the Bosch belt sander for areas that large,
and the Dewalt (8 hole hook & loop) orbital sander.
the Porta Cable has 5 holes and clogs often (having had one in the past)

Having at least three of the P-C ROS 5-hole variety, I'll avow as to
having one "clog" has never been an issue...no idea what would have
been the usage and/or paper to cause such a problem.
