I bit, been waiting for a good price drop on this or one w/ a spherical helix cutter. Haven't purchased from this seller on Ebay before, fingers crossed.
I don't have dust collector either but this video shows promising results by using the cyclone. (not sure if there is even shop vac connected. Seems like OP was only using a cyclone alone!
The 735 is the best lunchbox style planer on the market. Period. Zero reason to pay more for a lesser brand / model.
Thanks. Not sure if Rikon would be considered lower brand. I have been looking at Rikon since it had a helical style cutter though like you said DeWalt planer is a proven model.

Btw the 735 without extra blades and extender is also on sale for $489.

Interesting, I always thought the 734 was shaped like a lunchbox and not the 735.

Yes it is. It's a very expensive item. You will spend even more if you get the package deal that includes the dedicated Dewalt planer table.
It's like standing inside a snow globe!
Good find!

What if you use a shop vac with a cyclone buffer?
