Customers are mixed about the cutting quality of the planer. Some mention it's intuitive and cuts really well, smoothly, and easily. However, some say that it does not cut flat, it cuts more on one side, and is not parallel to the planers platen/base.

Five stars with a few modifications.
The hand planner is high quality craftsmanship. I didn't want to spend extra dollars for the adapter to connect a vacuum hose to a non standard exhaust port. I found that a 1 1/2" sch40 pvc pipe will fit to the exhaust port snuggly if you wrap the port with a bit of electrical tape. The vacuum hose https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3P7V1T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 will fit into the pipe nicely.The other modification is to create a usable handle. The cutter depth adjustment knob rotates to easily to make it a good handle. I used the existing brackets and bolts to attach a handle made from scrap wood.Definitely would recommend purchasing this planner.

Size: 3-1/4" Planer with KitVerified Purchase
This tool is nice and stable. The cuts are gorgeous. The motor can be heard over the noise from my shop vac, but not oppressively so (unlike some others). Comes with a bag, a guide, a tool for changing the blades, a big case ... did not come with the adapters that I needed for connecting it to my vac, but I knew that in advance. I have only planed a couple pine boards with it, but - wow! So much easier than my jack plane .... like, worlds apart. When i hooked this planer up to my shop vac, not only was the Bosch less noisy than I was expecting, it was incredibly clean as well. Definitely one of my new favorite tools.

I would still recommend keeping a jack plane around, for finishing the fine details, anyways. At least, for the time being. That may change. I am very glad that I spent the money on this tool, and this specific brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, smooth-running, solid e-planer.

There are plenty of choices in electric hand planes from occasional use to what might be called investment grade. The Bosch falls in or near the latter. The cutter-depth is easy to adjust with good detents (beginning at 1/64") and if you plan to do a lot of planing, that's important. The motor has soft-start, which is helpful for a powerful, high RPM tool.
I already had a 50+ y.o. Rockwell, BUT it was purpose-built for narrower wood (eg doors) and the side fence is non-removable. This model comes with a removable fence that seems to be easily adjusted (I put it on, tested the fit and adjusters but then took it right off since I was eager to experiment with wider slab-like boards.) So far in 2-3 hours' use it does a fantastic job. I pushed it a time or two (on well-seasoned oak and poplar) just to see where the motor started to bog, but in most any normal use, I don't forsee a problem. The Bosch has an overall solid feel comparable to the old (but still great running) Rockwell.
Other than initial cost, I can think of no real shortcomings or criticisms.

5.0 out of 5 stars It did a wonderful job on my closet door
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021
Size: 3-1/4" Planer with KitVerified Purchase
I needed to shave about 1/8” off part of the top of my closet door to get it to close. This was my first time using this tool on a project. I set it up with the included guide and aligned it up to center the face of the planer on the top of the door for balance. I set the depth for about 1/32” and started shaving a bit off from the center of the door to the end farthest from the hinge. I kept making passes until I could see that the door almost had enough clearance to close. Then I took the door off the hinges and leaned it at about a 30 degree angle. I set the planer on the door top and it held nicely at that angle. I then made about 2-3 almost complete passes from the hinge side out. The photo tells it all - smooth cut, clean, no chatter, and a perfect 3/32” gap all along the top of the door. It now closes perfectly!!!
Saved me a ton of time and looks professional!! I love this tool!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Doing what I need but the case could be better.

Size: 3-1/4" Planer with KitVerified Purchase
I am planing some firring to raise some joists to be level with the rest of the house. I have to take off 3/8" so a fair number of passes are required but it's getting the job done.

The case is not very good in that it's not clear how to put the components back in so they're secured. Everything goes back in but they move about.

I'm getting a vacuum adapter because using the bag still results in dust escaping and I think a negative airflow will help that. The bag is quite small and needs to be emptied every 20' when you are planing at 1/16". However, if the bag were larger, it would get in the way. There seem to only be two sizes of adapters that might have been needed so it would have been sweet if one had been included — what could a little piece of plastic cost to make? Better yet would be one adapter that adjusts.

It's not an expensive, high-end tool but I'm only a DIYer so it meets my needs well. It was a reasonable investment and I'm pleased with it.

Make sure to use the guide because, while it's easy to stay straight end-to-end, it's very easy to roll along the way.

I bought this planner because I wanted a quality planner. I was using a harbor freight planer. Obviously it wasn’t that great but it was very cheap and at the time I serve my purposes it’s a no-brainer, but the difference is not by quality.

Size: 3-1/4" Planer with KitVerified Purchase
Trabajo la madera por pasatiempo, casi pura herramienta manual. Este cepillo me ayuda a rebajar piezas con mayor rapidez. Yo diría que es extremadamente bueno, con dos pequeños detalles.

Lo primero que hice fue limpiar unas tablas de encino rojo y nogal y no tuvo mayor problema. Con el pino parece que va sobre mantequilla. Eso sí, el acabado final lo hago con el cepillo manual.

No es una herramienta sencilla de dominar en el primer intento, es fácil arruinar una pieza si no se tiene experiencia.

El primer detalle: aún en el ajuste 0 rebaja bastante, lo cual no ayuda.

El segundo: el sistema de expulsión de aserrín es bastante malo. a) Sin la bolsa, el aserrín es expulsado a gran velocidad, cubriendo varios metros. Contrasta mucho con algunos Makita que depositan la viruta a pocos centímetros de la herramienta. b) con la bolsa recolectora, la viruta se atasca en seguida (aún en ajuste 0) y entonces sale aserrín por debajo hacia todos lados. c) con un sistema de captación profesional funciona bien, pero con una aspiradora “shop-vac” se va a llenar la bolsa en poco tiempo e interrumpe el trabajo constantemente.

El problema es causado por haber incluido un selector de descarga (izquierda o derecha) que funciona con un tubo dividido en dos (ver foto). Esto hace que el área de flujo sea extremadamente chica para el volumen de la viruta, además que la velocidad superficial del aire se duplica.

Estoy seguro que los ingenieros que diseñaron la herramienta calcularon el tubo de descarga para trabajar sin ese selector que lo divide en dos, pero alguien en marketing habrá pensado que era mejor para las ventas… que horror.

En fin, se lo saqué y me hace muy feliz, pero no aconsejo a nadie hacer lo mismo, o pierden la garantía. Si lo hacen, remuevan primero los carbones, no entraré en mas detalles. Se debe tapar uno de los lados del tubo de descarga, dejando abierto el ducto que sopla aire en ese mismo lado para que la viruta sea barrida hacia el otro extremo. El otro ducto de aire debe cerrarse. No es una modificación tan simple, ni tan complicada. A ver cuando alguien se anima a subir el diseño para impresora 3D, o de plano vender el kit.
