Nowhere near as good IMO.

I've trimmed around 15 doors this year. Trust me,

No thanks.

it's quicker & more accurate.

But not as good for the OP who isnt likely to be able to work
out just how much should be removed. Much safer to do it
more gradually with an electric plane for someone like that.

Something else you've never used, obviously. Even with the work horizontal
and on a workbench, it's not easy to make a perfect job with a power
plane. Indeed, a hand plane is easier to use for the unskilled.

Something as large as a door is going to be even more difficult. Why not
just for once take the word of those who have actually done the job?

Doesn’t matter how quick it is for him.
