I use this joiner to build solid wood panels for table tops and cabinet doors and for this it works fine.  The tool seems well built, has adequate power, and I do not need a tilting fence for beveled joints.  The fence height adjustment could be a little easier, but I almost always use 3/4" stock so I rarely have to adjust it. It does make a disconcerting rattle when it is shut off, but this seems to be normal.  The price is also reasonable for what is basically an angle grinder with a fence and carbide blade.  If you are a typical hobbyist like me, then this joiner is all you'll ever need.  Save yourself the $...that you would need to spend on the fancier models for biscuits, glue, stock, etc.
