Reasonably priced and easy to use
Overall I like this unit; I’ve had mine for three years, and generally it’s a well balanced tool that cuts very smoothly. Blade sharpening and replacement is pretty simple with the included fixture. What it could use is a dedicated fence for squaring up boards. It’s built to take one, but I can’t seem to find one for mine.
Update (2/7/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

it aint no 1100
My unit is the 1923, which apart from a different rabbet system and 850 watt motor, is esentially the same. They have plenty of power, easy blade set and change and all that, with the usual top Makita build quality. But, the handle design! Ugh. Short sole plate, single hole for fence and top heavy balance. The angle of the main handle and its high position, with the poor front knob placement make these things very difficult to use effectively. Why oh why do power planer manufacturers continue to make em to this pattern?Compared to the u beaut old 1100, which is still available in 240V guise, they are not in the hunt. I bought my 1100 second hand, after I’d bought the 1923h. The other way round, and I’d only have one.Anyone want to buy a good secondhand 1923?

Good value
This tool is trim and light. Manual operation, it is manageable in small spaces. Good accuracy and control. Overall, more versatile and functional in its class that I used, but not the best for planing and heavy doors such as milling volume.
