Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've used $900 saws with laser guides, pumps etc. I've used the $75 one at home debot (yellow, can't remember brand) which is total garbage and good for one job at best. And, I've used everything in between. This is an excellent saw for the money! I did probably 200 cuts on it so far all on the same blade. The only thing you have to keep an eye on is the water level. The water tray is a bit small and I have to fill it up every 20 cuts or so. Also, it does spit tile pieces and water, but mostly off to the left and right. You'll get very little water yourself if any. As long as you have the blade guard down low, it keeps it off of you and I've never gotten a piece in my eye like I do on other saws. Even my $650 Ridged would hit me in the face with a piece now and then, this never seems to, even when I have my head down six inches from the blade, looking at a cut closely. To be honest, when it comes to making that "perfect cut", I really don't use the laser guides, measurement tools and all the fancy stuff on a high end saw anyway. I can make just as good a cuts with this saw as I usually eye-ball everything now anyway. 1 in 8 or 10 times, I'll eye-ball it wrong, but it's worth the time saved to ruin 1 in 10 tiles if I don't have to spend the time measuring. When you do have to use the guides, like when you're making ten cuts that are all the same, they do work well. They set easily and seem to be straight and accurate. Not a ton else to say about this saw. Definitely a better option than using the score and snap tools - even for the single job, home owner, I think you're better off spending another $30 - $50 and just getting the wet saw and this one is the best option I've found for the price!
