Bosch Planer PHO 1500

Product as described. Very handy wood planer at a reasonable price. I needed to plane some doors that were jamming. Would buy again.

Good planer. Used to stop my doors rubbing the new carpet. My first electric planer and I found it easy to use the settings. Good buy.

For me, more than adequate for DIY jobs and not a bad price. I had a much older Bosch model which was used on doors, some chairs and other sundry jobs before it expired from use - and the newer model is a nice improvement via the calibrated depth/cutting adjuster and feels better in my hands. Things to note: a- if you're new to using a planer start low on the setting and do more runs - as others have recorded, getting to the ends of the wood can cause splits and chips. Best put an end-block on, so the planer blade has resistance. Or come back the other way. Sometimes also use masking tape on painted edges to try and prevent paint chips - but with care, as the planer blade won't appreciate sticky tape! Remember, you can plane it off but not back on. b- get some spare blades in stock. I have hit sunken metal and the blades whilst robust for wood, will get notched by nails etc. The blades are easily changed. c- these tools do generate a lot of dust and are best used outside. I've not found the bags to be that good/effective - I have yet to hook up a vacuum cleaner and see what this brings. Another plus is that it's lightweight and the power cord is long enough to allow a decent reach. I have used the new model on the top of a wooden front door in situ.

Top quality product. Good performance

Usual BOSCH quality only has one blade but cuts with ease can take upto 1.5mm off at a time Made lite work of planning internal doors to size shame it doesn’t have a bag to catch the shavings as it produces lots hoover pipe does fit and works a treat

Great value for money. Took the excess from the bottom of the doors in no time. Good product forbthe money.

Can't beat a Bosch very long battery life when doing a job very smooth and easy to adjust good weight perfect size for planing doors. Easy to sharpen blades

Really good plane for the price. Used for trimming new doors. Control and adjustment is easy. Hook it to a vacuum cleaner and only the slightest bit of mess to clean up.

The tool is great. But it came with the incorrect plug for electrical connection in Australia. About to use it on an urgent job for the first time I couldn't. I had to go out and buy an adaptor, then worry if the wattage was correct for Australian systems.

Very good tool ... little bit heavy but i think all the same tool is heavy.

Perfect product but the only downside is there is no bag on the side to collect... makes a mess... otherwise works great and very easy to handle even for beginners

Works amazing for a hobbyist like me, great quality. As for the item missing a star as it seems to be a display item because of some scuffs at the bottom of the machine, not saying a used item, but likely to be a store display item

Very good product but no accessories.
