Perfect after blade adjustment and mobile base
Blades were about .005" too high from factory. Cut perfectly straight after blade adjustment. No infeed/outfeed table shimming needed. I bolted mine to a heavy frame made from 4x4s and set that frame into a ShopFox D2057A mobile base. Now it's the right height, mobile, and quite stable (low center of gravity = no tipping).

Solid product excellent price
Love this machine, very heavy and well made. I think they could charge more money for this especially if you look at comparable units. Get the $57 bora mobile base kit for it though so it’s easier to clean and move around

Nice Machine
I have had the jointer for a couple months now. The jointer works well once it is installed. It does take some work and muscle to get everything lifted and set up properly. Only complaint is the feet. It really needs to be on a platform with lockable casters. It would make the jointer more stable overall. But if you are handy, you can add those to the jointer yourself. Jointer seems short. Shipping was a nightmare but I do not blame Home Depot for that but it is something to keep in mind.

Great jointer
Very satisfied with this jointer. Instructions were easy to follow and took no time to assemble. After properly fine tuning the jointer, it works very well and suits my everyday needs. I ordered a mobile base for mine so it can be moved around the shop with ease. I think down the road I will be replacing the cutter head with a helical type cutter head for noise reduction and cut quality. I also think the helical head will help with the chute clogging up less frequently. I would also recommend waxing the entire chute to help with that issue. “Overall sir, IT WILL CUT”.

Hobby quality with pro price.
OK quality, the fence is not perfectly square to the table and can not made to be as the fence itself is not perfectly flat and level. but its so small that it really makes little difference for most hobby work. it was easy to convert to 220V as per instructions and it does make the motor more peppy. Plenty of power. The stock blades are of questionable quality as one had a chip on it even after a single use. Overall its an OK product for the hobbyist but the priced like a pro product.

Nice jointer
Great jointer for the price. Mine needed the blade's adjusted but otherwise it works very well. Way better than the bench top that I had.

Ridigid 6-1/8 in Jointer/Planer
First, this planner/router is heavy for it’s size. I did set it up by myself but do recommend that you get someone to help. I don’t think that there is anything on the market at this price point that is better. It’s packed well with clear enough instructions. All the hardware is in a blister pack that keeps everything separate. It has a 4” dust collection port so I’m going to try a shop vac with a 4x2 1/2 reducer but will most likely need to upgrade to a dust collection system.

Very solid
Tables are very accurate for this price point. Coplaner within .002”. Solid fence mechanism stays square and locked. All of the above are the Achilles heel of budget/benchtop jointers and RIDGID really excels here. It’s over 200 pounds - definitely want to add casters. Solid build and strong 1 HP motor. Want it for half off? Wait for the periodic sale for a couple hundred off. Then open a credit card offering $200 credit if you spend $500 in the first 90 days (there are several).
