What Customers Are Saying
The planer is capable of producing smooth, high-quality finishes on various wood types. Customers appreciate its powerful motor, accurate depth adjustments, and effective dust collection. However, some users have reported issues with the feed mechanism, motor failures, and excessive snipe. Durability concerns have also been raised, with components like blades and rollers wearing out prematurely. The dust collection system and lack of an integrated outfeed table have also been noted as drawbacks by some customers.

Broke after 18 months
Switch went bad. Have sent in to warranty and they have had it for almost two weeks now and I cannot get any update. ZERO Update - so far I am rating Dewalt support at a negative 5. I have tried emails and just get the same responses with no help. Support ticket -no support. Phone number it hangs up on me.
Disappointing planer cheaply made.
Only had the 735 for about 1-1/2 years and have had nothing but trouble with it. The chain jumped the sprocket and that prevented raising or lowering the planer. Supposedly under a 3 year warranty? Took the hood off to look inside and saw the small pulley without the chain on it. Two small screws hold the sprocket on. The sprocket appears to be fiber while the 4 corners are steel. There is lots of slop in the fiber/nylon sprocket. Very cheaply made planer. Very disappointed in this piece...

I wasn't sure, but I'm hooked
Would RecommendI was on the fence about spending this much on a bench top planer but it's worth every penny! Smooth finishes, easy to use, and built like a tank. I use it for woodworking and my husband uses it for carpentry—now neither of us can imagine working without it. One of the best tools we’ve ever bought.
Nice Planer
Would RecommendPurchased this 735X and it works great. Only complaint is the dust port/hose gets in the way. Quick fix was installing a 90 dust collector fitting.

A tough little machine
Would RecommendEasy to set up and start using. The blades milled through hickory and white oak with ease and left a nice smooth finish requiring only a modest amount of sanding.

I should have bought this years ago
Would RecommendI finally upgraded after nearly 1 years using an orange model. My intention was to buy this one and immediately upgrade the cutter head to the shelix style, but this thing cuts so smooth right out of the box, I think I can wait awhile. Best thing I've purchased in a long time.

Good price
Would RecommendI read the reviews, and this was one of the best planers available. Lowe's had a competitive price compared to all the other online shopping places. With my Lowe's card the 5% off sealed the deal. The card is one of the best things Lowe's has going for it.
