You wouldn't use the orbital _I_ rented on a stair case. It was about
12x16 inches and weighed 125lbs.

Went to Home Depot yesterday and see they have two sanders for rent.
One is a belt sander and the other is a large orbital. Both are
intended for floors. I just need to take the varnish off an old floor.
Is the big orbital the best tool for this? The room is 15x20ft. Any
idea how long this will take me or suggestions on the grit to begin
with? Thanks.

The belt sander is for large floor areas. The orbital is for stair
cases. You also need a vibrator or block sander for corners, they are
the most fun.
