What Customers Are Saying
The planer is generally effective at quickly planing down wood, with many users finding it powerful and reliable.

Just like butter
Would RecommendI bought this to shave down the edge of my front door which was dragging. I was amazed at just how smooth it worked. No jitters, or kicks. Shave it quickly like soft butter.

Bad Switch twice in a row
Would Not RecommendI exchanged one of these after a couple days because it just quit working. Then the second one quit a few days later. I troubleshot the second one and found that the switch went bad. I am now going to return it and get a Bosch.
not worth it
Would Not RecommendBrand new out of the box, used on 4 pieces of Maple Hard wood glued together, the blades nicked on the hardened glue, leaving nasty worm marks on the wood.

Does a great job, just messy
Would RecommendI bought an electric planer because I had a slab of Purple Heart wood I wanted smoothed out. Purple Heart is a very hard wood. This planer did an awesome job at really getting it down to a smooth surface until the end. One of the blades would continually get wood jammed underneath it causing it to have an uneven planing path. Plus the blades dulled due to the nature of the hard wood. It also should come with a dust port adapter.
