Hey Dave;
I have this exact planer and it is great. Easy to adjust, holds adjustments well and double sided knives (real easy to change and self positioning) to boot. No snipe at all, it just plain works fantastic. With good knives the surfacing is perfect, no need to even sand. It's loud but they all are. Get it!.
I built a sled to allow me to use it as a jointer as well and it is great, I am seriously considering getting rid of the jointer to open up some more space in my shop.
