I bought this dowel jointer basically as I couldn't justify the cost of a domino jointer for what I need. It was the best purchase I've made in a long time! After watching YouTube videos saying how bad it was out of the box, I took a deep breath and went ahead anyway. Triton must have been listening because straight out of the box, mine was nearly 100% spot on. I did a minor amount of adjustments, but that was down to my own preferences rather than the machine, as I like to set all of my own tools up. At a fraction of the price of a Domino, and with the fabrication of a couple of easily made jigs to further its use with speed, it's more than paid for itself already with the convenience and the ability to create dowel joints up to 12mm dia and 30mm deep. Buy one. You won't regret it!!
