I can tell you, compared to the DeWalt big boi, this is much cheaper and not built nearly as well. No comparison. However, compared to other lunchbox planers, this is a big step up since it has three reversible blades. The finish is therefore cleaner, more practical cost of ownership, and seems like the alignment is pretty solid as well. I've changed blades several times and they always set in nicely. Cool little magnet tool as expected comes w this.
I can feel the grip swiftly going on the rollers after just a couple hundred board feet of already flat 12" shelving wood (just wanted to clean them up). Didn't improve after I cleaned it either
Snipe is about 2-3" but you can work that out, and you're not going to avoid it with any planer really.
For the money, I'd buy it again in a heart beat. I paid $256 for this and I added two extra sets of blades for $48 since they were on sale, totaling about 305 plus tax and shipping.

It went for $220 a few weeks ago but that was a reconditioned model. It only provides a 1 year warranty.
With this its a blemish model which is LSA eligible. To me its a no brainer.
On the other end of the spectrum, Ridgid's R4850 is a surprisingly good planer if you can get a good enough deal on it. But, being near the same price as the 735 Dewalt, it doesn't get noticed, understandably.
I hope the one's people here buy, aren't plagued the 4331 issues they're known for.

It would be helpful to say what issues cause this model to be "the worst tool made by rigid"
And what makes the R4850 significantly better.
Better yet, maybe put a link to a deal on the 4850 for what currently exists or what has existed in the past.
DeWalt well worth the extra money. I've used both
Dewalt is a step up but not worth twice the money unless you are making money with your woodworking.
It was an after thought that now gets 1000x more use than the bandsaw that I was originally interested in.
I don't have experience with this planer specifically, but if you are on the fence about getting a planer I would highly recommend that you hop on to the side that says "just get it".
