I do not have any direct knowledge of this plane. But as a general and almost universal rule...
Hand planes made today that are sold in big box stores are Chinese junk.
Good ones are stupidly expensive.
Think Lee Valley. Think Lie Nielsen. Think Wood River. etc.
I have heard that a "Made in India" plane. is a good alternative. When the Brits pulled out of India, they left the machinery and toolmaking knowledge behind on plane-making.
Lastly, flea markets, yard sales, etc. I cannot stress enough just what a Golden age on planes that the late 1800s and early 1900s were. A Stanley from that time will stomp most any big box store plane to dust, in terms of quality and use. And even a rusted plane is pretty easy and very cheap to bring back to its glory.
You rarely need a new blade but they are still available as well.
