I'm a novice woodworker and new to electric planers. I've used it to plane some clover shaped cedar rounds and some large slab cut-offs of gum tree wood.It took a few passes, some YT vids, to pick up on the technique for using one of these. Once I got in the groove this tool can make some really smooth surfaces I did not expect. Come with an extra blade with storage on board. The ergonomics are great for me and the tool handles very well. Its been an excellent purchase for me for things that are too large to go through my lunchbox planer.

I just got this thing, and it's quite amazin. I'm super happy with it. Planed some generic 2x4's for a simple shelft and they came out smooth as glass. Took me some time to learn how to use the device, but I'm a happy camper now. Does eat through the 4ah battery, so consider using the 8ah battery. Using my Bosch cordless vacuum, this device produced minimal cleanup.One note though, it's kind of hard to hold down the trigger as you're pushing the device, I wish it had some sort of trigger lock, but I'm also aware that it's a highly dangerous device. Wish it was less fatiguing to hold the trigger while pushing it for a while. I'm not used to doing that. My hand started to cramp up. That's just me though.

Lightweight and no cord make this a perfect tool for any workshop. Simple blade replacement with no tricky aligning of the cutter blade. Don't let the single blade distract you from purchase as the super sharp blade leaves a perfect finish. Spare blade is stored on tool and takes 1 minute to replace. The triple grooves on the shoe makes for easy beveling. Height adjustment is solid and precise.My only complaint is the included fence is not adjustable as I would like. Like any tool in my workshop, I will make a special jig as needed for projects I work on.

Arrived 3 days earlier than expected, a true bargain.

When I first opened this, I thought it looked and felt no better than the cheap import one I had a couple years ago. Then I tried it - the quality of the machining and castings were evident - this is MUCH better than the cheap imports. After a couple months use now, everything still works smoothly on this, and it has plenty of power for small jobs like I do with it - planing doors to get a good fit during remodeling. It leaves an excellent finish, and the base has grooves so I can chamfer the door edges like they came from the factory after sizing them to fit.

I usually look for Dewalt tools as I already have a bunch of them and the batteries that fit them. But I know Bosch quality too and wanted to give this planer a chance. I did have to get some batteries to fit it along with a charger but I'm glad I did. This leaves such a nice finish! The depth is easily adjustable and it has a port on both sides for hooking up a dust collector. It also has onboard storage for spare blades and one extra one is included.
