I have the Ryobi and my friend has the Rigid. I have yet to see any quality difference. Take small passes and the quality is spot on.

I have used big powermatic ones at our local community college and the quality of cut is the same. They can take bigger passes but I’m ok with taking light passes.

The problem with both the Rigid and the Ryobi that I have encountered is that sometimes I need to push/pull the wood through the planer
