80%of 15 owners recommend

80% recommend · 0% neutral · 20% don't

Owners praise

Has serious power for a cordless saw, with owners saying it rips through plywood and even bites into steel, and can stand in for a corded sidewinder
Full 7-1/4" blade gives real depth of cut and corded-like performance for framing and deck work
Integrated electric brake is a valued safety feature that sets it apart from some cheaper 6-1/2" options

Owners complain about

Some heavy users would rather step up to the 60V FlexVolt for more power on demanding work
The right-side blade and high handle position make it hard for some to track a straight cut
At least one owner ran into a baseplate/squareness issue that points to a possible damaged unit out of the box
