This is certainly no 5 HP cast iron behemoth. But for a reasonably portable, bench top sized model it works pretty well. I disagree that you can't do thickness planing on it. There are guidelines near the feed in that show depth of cut limits for different width material and I've found if you adhere to those or a little on the conservative side it works great. Sure, if you have a wide piece that you need to take a lot off you will have to do several passes.
It's certainly not perfect. The stock blades are also on the soft side and tend to nick easily which can leave raised lines in your piece. Not a huge issue for me since there would be a number of finishing steps after this for a nice piece or if it's something rough I wouldn't care. Also, if you're not careful about support long pieces feeding in or out you can get some snipe on the first/last 3 or 4 inches or so.
I've had this unit for 2 years and for a hobbyist with limited permanent shop space it's a great tool.
Awesome. Did they do 10% extra reduction or exact price match?
I mentioned that but the rep I got wasn't aware of the 10%, but you can try with the rep you get, might get lucky. I was lucky they did a PM when I didn't have the store locally, their supervisor approved it.

I am on the phone with HD and asked for the 10%. The rep is waiting for approval from his manager.
Lowes price match says they will beat a competitors price by 10%. Also i have a 10% military discount and 10% off gift certificate. Thats 27.1% off 499 or 363.77 if it stacks. $404without military discount👍
My experience with Lowes and their policy is that you cannot stack discount coupon codes with military discount.
Most of the time, the 10% military about covers the sales tax for personal use items that would be illegal to use a resale tax exemption.... which is better than nothing and I do appreciate.

Q- Can a Lowe's employee, military or 5% off credit card discount be used when requesting a price match?
A- These and other discounts can't be combined with a price match. However, if there are other items on the transaction not being price matched, they may be eligible for these discounts.
As well, the Price Match Gurantee does not apply to...
"Senior citizen, military and employee discounts"
