From a lot of experience, the one side discharge of the Makita corded KP0800K [homedepot.com] has no issues with clogging on dry wood. Having literally fit hundreds of solid core fire doors, wooden beams and trued studs with not an issue besides replacing drive belt and cutters that are worth updating to carbon.
With not even 5% of the same experience with the dual side discharge of the corded KP0810 [homedepot.com] that is bulkier, more expensive and with 1 amp more power (but 1,000rpm slower), it seems to get a little confused by the diversion and path of least resistance for chips, but works decent and especially with a vacuum.
My choice is still the original tried and true corded Makita KP0800K [homedepot.com] above, but if wanting to use a vacuum, will require the purchase of the adapter nozzle [amazon.com] for $7 or less.
I don't have the battery OP, but the similar or same same design as the KP0800K, what are you using it on to clog it up? Perhaps wet, treated lumber? Just curious...

I had heaps of problems with this planer clogging, and overheating on really shallow passes. I really like Makita, and I hoped it would've been better.

And the corded version has similar issues after seeing AvE's video he just did.
Honestly, I'm yet to be impressed by any of the cordless hand planers on the market.

I learned after the fact and after going back and looking at all these top woodworkers.. yeah, most woodworkers use non-electric hand planers that've been in the industry for a long time and are masters at their craft, even the younger upstarts that're well respected.
If you have very specific reasons where you know this is best, get it. Like for doors not doing so well in a door frame, these are amazing. But if you think this is better than a quality non-electric hand planer, I strongly urge you to go to a subreddit or a major woodworking forum to ask.
With that said..
Should you buy it at this price if you need it: YES

A better way to break it down is this: electric planers are great for framing, hand planers are great for woodworking.
