Light, flexible and has plenty of power.
This will fit in especially well if you already have a range of Bosch tools and I have to say it is extremely well priced for what you are getting.

This is another great planer from Bosch that is really a cheaper, entry level, tool. It's not as powerful as the model above but can plane nearly as deeply.
It is built for home use or the occassional DIY job and it is perfectly capable of that. There have been plenty of buyers and you can see that the reviews are great.

No 4 - TOUGH MASTER Electric Power Planer Summary Review
- 94% buyer satisfaction rating
- 32 x 19 x 18 cm; 4.3 Kilograms
- Cordled Planer model
- Planning depth 3 mm with 110mm width
- Depth increments from 0.25 (2 mm)
- 1000w motor and blade drum with two double-sided blades rotate at 1600 RPM
- The aluminum front and rear shoes will not deform
- Can also be connected to a vacuum both sides as well

The Tacklife is a very powerful Planer, delivering up to 16,000 rpm and is able to plane 3mm. Many corded versions can manage 4mm so you would need to run over twice with this model.
This wouldn't put me off as you would be paying about 3 or 4 times the price to get the 4mm. You are getting a bargain here. Also 110mm width is better than most other models.

This is another great planer that will work very well and you will find no complaints. I think it's a bit expensive compared to some of the other models and that's why it is down at number 5 on my list.

A very quick video review
We have looked over all the video reviews and found this great short presentation on these power tools. It gives you an instant idea of what to expect as well as telling you all the features and spec in and easy to understand format.
I hope you enjoy watching it as I always think its much better to see a tool in action rather than just reading about it or seeing pictures. This guy is particularly good at explaining the features and he is well known for demonstrating tools. If you are going to connect a vac to one of these machines we don't recommend that you use a home version. It's always best to have a good quality HD shop vacuum.
