I suggest you go to amazon.com and look the unit up. Many customer
comments, several of which are less positive than what I have read on this
forum. Cheers, JG

The negative comments are so FAR removed from my own experiences with the
DW735 that I really have to wonder if the reviewers have an axe to grind with
DeWalt, or if they perhaps reviewed some other machine.

I'm particularly puzzled by the one reviewer's claim that he had to push
boards through the planer, even when removing only 1/64" from narrow boards.
I've put several hundred board feet of lumber through mine, with never a hint
of any trouble with the feed rollers, even when taking off 1/16" on 6" wide
oak.

In regard to the comments about poor cut quality, I will say that I've noticed
that the quality of the finish is not as good on softer woods such as sycamore
as it is on harder woods such as oak or sugar maple - and I'll point out that
the guys complaining about cut quality were using softer wood.
