Great for the price! I bought this to shave a bit off some old doors that were sticking. It worked wonderfully on the doors, better than I expected. I have not tried this for planing boards. I bought this primarily for sticking doors and it does the job.

A very good purchase for my needs.

Very good planer for the price point. Easily handled leveling some high spots on boards for a deck I’m building. Only downside is the bag gets filled quickly so you have to stop and empty it often. I guess you can remove the bag altogether or hook it up to a vacuum system if you have one.

This was my first time using a tool like this. I’m almost 40 and have been working on my deck. The boards were not straight by any means so I learned about this tool and took it out, reviewed instructions kind of quickly and got right to it. I loved using it-it was actually fun!!! So easy as well! I wish I had it years ago! It’s now my favorite tool!

For my purposes, this hand planer does exactly what is needed. My 50-year-old hand planer finally gave out after years of use & abuse, and by comparison this one works more quickly and smoothly. Furthermore, I don’t have to oil it every so often as required by the old one.

I got ahold of some old wood and some old decking material. I bought the Wen 6 Amp planer and hoped i could get enough good wood to work on a project. I was really surprised ! I got a few boards planed down, and with a little sanding I got new wood.

I am a newbie to planers but this thing impressed me quite a bit. I have nothing else to compare it to in terms of electric planers but I thought it was pretty good.

It has served me well. I am able to plane over the end of a oak log. It is the only way that I can smooth over the log.

Received faster than I expected. opened box, plugged in and started using. very impressed with cut. had been using a old sears (20+ years old) liked the ability to change direction of chip exhaust. probably will never use the dust bag since will be used outside. hope it holds up rest of my life. would definitely buy again for the price

I bought this planer so I could install some new interior doors for my house. It is so easy to use and I just set the depth and it does all the work. Great product for a great price !!

This is the first powered planer I have used and purchased. It seemed to work flawlessly for me. The collection bag is deceiving–I thought ir would just fill up gradually and I’d stop and enpty… not so… it fills up FAST and can clog… so, I will use the planer without the collector bag and possibly with a vacuum… Nifty gadget!

Saved me hours of frustration what a tool thank you Home Depot!

Needs work. Both shoes had to be sanded flat. The leveling adjustment for the front shoe is poorly designed & unreliable, needs to be at least 3 set screws. Manual very short on necessary instructions. Loosen end set screws in blade holder or large screws won’t turn. Exhaust port doesn’t fit std home vacuum hose. Needs adapters for inverted table use. Replace BB under orange dial w/ roundhead pin in spring. Otherwise OK. Haven’t used yet.

It’s don’t make very smooth or finishing. That’s mean I need to use sandpaper.

Cannot attest to durability since I’ve only used twice but product is well built and worked flawlessly. I’m happy I didn’t spend $100+ for another well known brand.
