From the manufacturer
Remember WEN?
We've been designing and distributing high-quality and affordable power tools for decades. Founded by Nick Anton back in 1951, WEN originally made its mark by helping bring tools and electricity together (putting the power into power tools). Our research and development team played a vital role in helping to develop a variety of common everyday tools such as the chainsaw, the electric soldering gun, the electric jigsaw, the electric engraver, and the knife and wet wheel sharpeners. WEN even pioneered random orbital technology – the technology seen in most polishers, waxers, and buffers today that gives cars everywhere the streak-free shine they deserve.
Since then, our expertise has expanded to encompass a wide variety of products, including drill presses, lathes, bench grinders, nailers, miter saws, hand tools, generators, and cordless power tools, to name a few. By 2001, only 50 years after our humble beginnings, we had already sold over 50 million consumer units. By 2021, we had sold nearly 80 million. Today, WEN's headquarters can be found in West Dundee, Illinois. Our goal is to help woodworkers, DIYers, and artisans across the world execute their wildest imaginations.

Product Description
Remember when you needed to smooth out those joists? Plane away chips, splinters, and misshapen edges with the WEN 8-Amp 4-3/8 Inch Electric Hand Planer. Take on 2x4s and 4x4s with the spacious 4-3/8-inch cutterhead. Perfect for fixing stubborn doors and fitting wood. This power planer’s 8-amp motor delivers over 32,000 cuts per minute to your workpiece, slicing away any irregularities until the surface of your boards are aligned and smooth. With a cutting width of 4-3/8 inches and a maximum cutting depth of 1/8 of an inch, you’ll have the perfect companion for fitting and squaring boards. The 16 positive stops go from 0 all the way up to 1/8 of an inch in 1/128 inch intervals. The base plate shoe even includes two v-shaped chamfer grooves for easily flattening sharp post corners. The onboard kickstand protects both the blade and the workpiece by keeping the blade elevated and out of contact from the surface of your project in-between cuts. Finally, the dust adapter combined with the two-way dust port helps users manage loose shavings, keeping your work space clean and sawdust free. The included rabbeting guide helps create rabbets in your boards while the parallel fence bracket keeps your planer traveling perfectly straight. And because this is a WEN Product, your 8-Amp 4-3/8-Inch Corded Hand Planer comes backed by a two-year warranty, a friendly customer help line, and a nationwide network of skilled service technicians. Remember when you had a reliable planer that lasted for years? Remember WEN.

I will say I had to buy 3 Wen planers before I found one where the shoe was level "enough", to not leave behind a large edge when doing side-by-side passes. The shoe on the 6-amp model was way out of whack. So, quality control is so-so. You may have to buy a couple before you get one with tighter tolerances.
Still a great value compared to the blue B and yellow D brands. But one thing I wish Wen had copied was the attachment of the fence; the Wen fence attaches with one bolt near the front, so there's a pivot point that will always have some play no matter how tight you get it, and the fence won't necessarily be parallel to the shoe. The blue B's fence has two attachment points, so no pivoting. The yellow D's fence has a bar that extends through the front of the planer, so there's no side-to-side play once it's tightened down.
I used this for a day planing red oak. I was immediately impressed by how easy it was to use and adjust, and how well it planed. For the price, I'm very please with it.
Pros: Price. Width (I can plane a 4" post in one pass). And so far performace has been great.
Negatives: Its rather wide, you can plane flush to a vertical face, for example. The material is clearly lower quality that most name brands.
I have nothing bad to say. I did however decide not to contain the shavings and saw dust and judt let it fly. I did adjust the debris to exit the planer to the right which is a great feature. It created a larger pile than expected so be prepared depending on your project. It's quieter than expected and is easy to adjust cutting depth. I turned the depth adjustment 3 clicks clockwise and left it. That made a very shallow cut each pass but all 70 feet of cuts were all perfect and clean. Read the instructions as there are a number of useful tips to get the best results. I utilized a few of them myself. You will not be disappointed. Strong 8 amp motor, quiet, easy to handle.
