Argos have 5 planers in their new catalogue (p285) - in price order:
Challenge 650W 15,000 rpm 2mm cut
Challenge Xtreme 900W 15,000 rpm 3mm cut 18mm rebate
B&D 900W 17,000 rpm 3mm cut 15mm rebate
Bosch 500W 1,800 rpm 1.5mm cut 0-8mm rebate
WORX 900W 12,000 rpm 3mm cut 24mm rebate

With such a range (500-900W and 1,800-17,000rpm) that doesn't follow price, or
what I'd guess was quality, I'd appreciate comments on the range. I'm looking
for one that won't cost much as use will be low - but need one that will
actually work properly and safely. And whilst a list in Argos is handy that
doesn't mean that's where I'll buy it.

Comments?
