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.

Exactly. I didn't realize the extra value in the big price jump for the DeWalt at the time and assumed it was a 3 blade vs 3 blade level comparison.
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 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".
This seems like a no-brainer with the LSA. Around here, these planers will sell for $350 on FB/CL/etc. I really want a DeWalt but for this price, it's not worth the extra money.
In for one.

Only new or factory blemished items from Ridgid do. Factory refinished items do not. This would qualify for the LSA
I haven't felt the need for a jointer yet, partially because the wood is decent enough and partially because of the nature of my projects (Google thecraftycatsman for some examples).
The planer was a tool I didn't realize I was missing until it landed in my lap.
My next project is possible because of it, I am thinning 100+ year old boards to a sort of veneer and then using the boards to case a virtual pinball machine.
If I didn't have the planer then my brain wouldn't have even considered the design.
Worth noting that the Ryobi I have regularly shows up on Facebook marketplace for under 50. It makes a mess but is a workhorse.
Fun stuff!
This is a blemished model
Anyone else smell the odor of shill spam?
