The tool itself is very solidly built. The design is well-thought-out, with clever features like an easily reversible chip deflector and a blade change built into the handle. The dust collection adapter is included, which is a welcome departure from other Bosch tools I have bought. The overmolding is well-secured and minimal, enough for grip but no extra stuff for decoration. The controls are reasonably ergonomic, and the feel of the tool in the hand is great. The "kickstand" is dumb, it gets in the way and serves no real function– there is an electronic brake so there's really no way to set it down while it is spinning. I have mine disabled with tape.
Performance is very, very good given the size. It's ability to work smoothly and consistently has impressed me. Needless to say this is not a big planer. If you are hoping to make a slab into a table with this you are going to be disappointed. But it still punches far above its weight. I have done a bunch of work in 5/4" Lifespan with this and had no issues, and even used it a few times on conventional PT 2x with good results.
I am using mine with a 2ah battery. Life is reasonable, I tend to charge it at the end of each day and am fine unless I am doing baseboards and using the tool a lot. The tool seems to slow down as the battery gets low. This is bizarre as it is supposedly a regulated system, but of no real consequence. A battery gauge on the tool tells you how much life is left, albeit vaguely (to the nearest third). It's a little front-heavy but very light with the 2ah battery. Coming from a Makita 18v platform, I am struck but how generally weak the Bosch 12v charger is; it is slow, finicky about how the battery is seated, prone to getting wadded up with sawdust and gives no indication of charge progress. But it works, and both the charger and the battery are small, light, and reasonably inexpensive.
I bought into the Bosch 12v system just for this tool, and I am glad I did. It is unique and surprisingly useful, and it's so cool to see a big toolmaker putting R&D effort into carpentry specialty tools. For how handy it is and how well-made it seems, the price strikes me as pretty fair. I would estimate that it saves me an hour or two a week every week. If you do a lot of trim work, I highly recommend it.
It is fairly quiet and light weight and very importantly it has the ability to be connected to a vacuum. I can use it indoors with making a huge mess and time consuming cleanup.
Update: I made a mistake, the safety can be locked making it easy to use. After three years now I can say this is my favorite tool. I have scribed and planed thousands of feet of moldings and lumber saving me time and pain as I have a bad shoulder. I would give it six stars if I could.
The kickstand is a useless feature to me as you have to constantly pay attention to keep it folded inside the tool or you will ruin the wood you are planing, I removed it after using the tool for five minutes. The tool has a brake that stops the blade from spinning as soon as you take your finger off the trigger so putting the tool down is safe within a second or two.
The safety switch is the feature which kept me from awarding five stars, the spring is too strong and switch is very awkward to constantly hold in and plane wood at the same time. It is very slim and in the wrong place on the handle and with no way to keep it locked in the on position. I have come up with a way to defeat the switch which will finally make the tool worth five stars.
One other small point is that I would liked to buy the tool as kit as separate batteries is an expensive option even though I have every cordless tool that Bosch makes.
