Pros & Cons
Pros
The makita planer has tons of power and the largest dust port of any electric planer. The lift up side cover on it also allows you to get in close to an edge. The new way allows for a less obstructed exit of chips.
Cons
The front adjustable shoe is neither parallel nor square with the back plate. Well, i'm not convinced or impressed.
Highlights
Quality
Can't compare it with the earlier model but this is a really lovely planer!
At first i was irritated with the new directional set-up.
Price
This is a great upgrade, well worth the brushless price.
Packaging/appearance
I have had the 18v makita tools for years and they're generally very good.
Competitiveness
For example, it has directional discharge that is better than the previous models.

I hate to sand on it though because the planed surfaces are so much smoother than stock
