Solid and well built

I have used one before and know its capabilities. The lock feature is good and it gives a good finish. It is heavy, 34Kg, to move for one person, so I made a trolley from some odd bits from other projects and a set of castors from a mechanics chest that I mounted on the floor.Read full review...

Good small planner for the professional and serious hobbist.

Does the job. Solidly built and easy to use. Does need an extractor as produces loads of shavings.i

Its heavy but it's one hell of a tool. Push in and its self feeding. Awesome

OK but has silly design & quality flaws.

DeWalt have a pretty good rep' & overall this isn't a bad machine. It's accurate & does the job.
The feed could be better especially with wider boards, you need another pair of hands pulling to keep it moving from the outlet side otherwise you get black marks on the timber from the rollers skidding
My main criticism is the appalling extractor duct fixings. For a portable machine I would expect simple, easy to use, robust fixings. They're not, they're very fiddly, awkward & badly designed. The screws are tiny (4mm dia screws) & the hole for the central screw is so big the head will pull through it without an extra washer. I expect after half a dozen fittings & removals the threaded holes will need repairing.
The blades are now blunt after just a couple of hours use, surprisingly poor quality & I expected better from this manufacturer.Read full review...
