Snipe... Yes I get snipe. But I just either plan for it, use sacrificial boards or a sled. The last project I did I forgot to plan for my last glue up and had to send stuff thru and could not afford to trim off the snipe. I hot glued an oversized 3/4 plywood board and had zero snipe.
I would highly recommend this planer. Good luck.

From what I know/hear about planers, there is always snipe. I'm going to be using mine tomorrow. I'll report what I see.

It appears to be Model R4331, but the image of this with the blades looks different than the stand alone R4331 on their webpage (red/yellow switch vs all red, blow port vs none). Are they exactly the same model? Reading some reviews on the one and want to make sure it's apples to apples.

I could easily feel the leading edge snipe, and could even see it at the right angle. Trailing edge, I could barely feel it and could not see it at all. It's very minimal (by my standards).
It is the Model R4331. The picture differences: It does included the vacuum port. The all red version of the switch is without the safety lock. Another picture for this deal has the lock removed and is all red.
I also still see the deal available both as free delivery for store pickup, or free delivery to home. It was never in store (that I saw). But there's currently only 6 available. Maybe people are buying then canceling? They received more?

Several ways to deal with snipe.
1. Plan for it. If I have extra material, I will plane my boards first and then trim down to my required length or width. Knowing that I will have a few inches on either end.
2. Sacrifical leading and trailing runners as mentioned above.
3. Sleds. I used a 3/4 plywood board for a glue up I needed to keep the length on. I just hot glued the corners to the plywood and it worked well.
