I was skeptical when buying this. I read some of the bad reviews and thought this could suck. But it was Prime Day, I got a deal and figured I return it if I needed.Well, I haven't experienced any of the issues those bad reviews had. I'm impressed by this equipment.Out of the box, it's almost ready to go. The instructions SUCK... wow are they bad. Very small to read, and poorly translated to English. But, I have an engineering degree so I figured it out.So far, I've planed about 400 board feet and it works like a champ. A couple of flaws I've noticed.1- the stand is short. I'm tall so I'd like it 8-12 inches higher.2- the vacuum interface is worthless. The shavings get caught and accumulate at the opening and clog. I ended up removing the vacuum piece and putting on the included open piece, but even to open piece clogged. After every few boards, I'd stop to clear it.So far, those are the only flaws I've discovered. I'm a hobbyist, so for the money, this thing is perfect for me.
