Pros & Cons
Pros
It is better than the cheap corded version it replaced (scheppach) i have been ripping 9mm ply and 20mm beech worktops with no issue. Used it for cutting osb sheets. Produces as high quality work as any of its more expensive competitors.

Usually makita quality, slim blade is awesome but worried about durability but all good few months in with moderate use.
Easy to use, easy to set up and it is accurate especially with the guide rail which was bought separately.
Bought without any accessories so very cheap.
