No I haven't got one of those either, but could buy one. Have you done
what you describe with a 1000W+ 3kg+ electrical planer that vibrates
like nobody's business?

I've got two electric planes, and neither vibrates. They do tend to kick
when you switch them on - I'd hope a modern one is soft start.

They are not the easiest of devices to use though. Probably need more
skill than a hand plane. And the blades need very careful setting to get a
true cut, even with skill.
