What people mention

PowerPraisedOwners say the brushless motor cuts 2x and 3x lumber without bogging down.
Battery lifeMixedLight framing work lasts a long time, but heavy ripping drains the 4.0Ah pack faster than expected.
WeightPraisedUsers find it light enough to use one-handed on ladders and overhead.
Electric brakePraisedThe blade stops quickly after the trigger is released, which owners like for safety.
Dust collectionCriticisedThe dust port helps but leaves a lot of sawdust behind, especially without a vac attached.
