If this planer is good or not really depends on what you intend to use it for. It can do up to 2MM depth but it will clog so you have to go slow. 1MM depth with multiple passes is the best thing to do with this tool. It's powerful but keep in mind what M12 is really meant for: compactness.

If you are using this for trim and cabinets and doors and stuff, this is perfect. If you are trying to plane and flatten slabs of wood, then no, there are probably better tools (like anything that isn't a cordless planer…). Need to quickly trim down some studs or joists that are already in place so your drywall or tiles aren't bulging? Perfect for that too.

I had a new refrigerator that was just barely too tall, even though the dimensions were supposed to fit. A quick plane with this on the bottom edge of the cabinet made it all good.

The old M18 planer was awful and this definitely beats it.

This is a rough tool, not a precision tool. It is definitely a tool that not everyone needs.

I am wondering the same? Is this powerful enough or shall I wait for the M18?

What's a good use case for this? I can't really see myself planning anything 2 inches wide except maybe the side of a board?

Darn I placed my order. I wanted it for hitting the high spots on slabs before planning. Maybe ill give it a shot and see what happens. I do recall my corded planers getting clogged during this task.

Give it a shot. It can take a vac and that helps a lot with the clogging, but it can get fiddly because of how small the tool is. I've used it a few times with a vac but I feel it defeats the purpose of an M12 tool. Just becomes a bit too bulky.

It might still be perfect for your specific needs and what you want. If you're using it to touch up slabs and then run it through an actual planer, it could work well (though I suspect you may want something larger). You never know though.

My comment is for the folks who think this will be the only planer they need for slabs and other large surfaces of wood.

$115 is the absolute cheapest this planer has gotten, so it's a good deal.

There was an AWS issue earlier today so there's a good chance it's related to that.

It's a fairly special purpose tool, and works well for those purposes. It's not meant for planing big boards flat, it's meant for doing things like shaving down doors to fit a frame, shaving boards down flush, etc.
