Easy to use.
I am so happy that I found this. It makes a strong joint, much stronger than a biscuit jointer. If you want a strong fast joint, use this. For the cost it is great.

Maybe I got a lemon?
Faceplate was not straight so alignment of dowels was off.

Not great but kind of worked.
The drill spindles were not in line. I tried using only one, but it still made the boards bend just a little so there was a crack when gluing up panels. It kind of worked but not great. I liked the cordless aspect, but in the end, it was returned.

Excelente máquina
Me gusta más que la galletadora (biscuit) en unión de marcos. Para tablas es similar.

Great for non-precision joints...
This dowel jointer works very much like a biscuit jointer and even a bit like a Domino jointer. However, the one thing that's not possible with dowels is being able to adjust the fit of the joint during glue-ups. Therefore, you have to be extremely accurate with your markings and extremely accurate aligning the tool to your markings when cutting the dowel holes.I wanted to test the dust collection but did not have an adapter for my shop vac to adapt to the 1 1/2" wide dust collection connector on the tool. I'm glad that there's dust collection capabilities but the dust collection is from the bottom of the tool - not from the side. So, the workpiece will have to be clamped at the edge of a workbench to keep the tool-fence and dust collection from interfering with the cut. The dust collection connector is very short - only 1/2" (see photo). So, it will be difficult to keep a dust collection hose attached to the tool without it falling off. It would have to be a very tight fit.It is very easy to change the depth of the cut and the depth to the center of the workpiece. Since this cuts two dowel holes at once, the accuracy will be good for aligning the joining workpiece so no problem there. The issue would be getting a box or frame completely square. It would all depend on how accurately you marked the workpiece and how accurately you held the tool during the cut. If you have jobs where being precisely square is not that big of an issue, this tool gives you an economical option for joinery.

Nice inexpensive domino replacement
Works well, I did not have accuracy issues with this, it has a quite chunky steel plate, if you use that it's quite reproducible. Appropriate quality for the price.

Works as it should
It is simple to use, and seems to have plenty of power. Far cheaper than other brands I've looked at, and still does a good job
