For a compromise to be portable, this is a nicely featured table saw. Has all the normal, and expected, features for a table saw. The fence can be held solid. Easy to adjust blade height. Throat plate is height adjustable for leveling. Comes with a 40-tooth blade. Right under the surface is a holder for the push stick. Rails are snug. It's just a decently made table saw. Has handles or carry points for ease of moving. Not too heavy but cumbersome as these things are to move around. Nothing noteworthy or negative. I've seen some lower priced jobsite table saws and didn't really put much thought into them so that may be worth a comparison. I'm not sure about warranties etc. Or how long either would last. This manual clearly states this is not made for professional use. But we're all professionals in a sense, no? They've got this priced at $221 but power rating wise, even the lowest priced table saws are rated the same. Well, so are the highest priced ones as well. This is a tough choice and they'll need to highlight something to compete with established name brands for pricing competition. I only tested for operation with a scrap of wood and this cuts fast enough and as expected. I tried a piece with a scoring cut and final cut and works great for preventing that blowout on the wood. I'm happy with it's operation. The throat plate doesn't come flat so be sure adjust that with a straight edge. I've used a friend's job site table saw and I can't say one is different from the other. My suggestion, for AC powered, is to compare features that you'll need for your work. Or look for features from those that you will need all the way to those you'll want. Then compare prices to see how much you're willing to pay for the \"want\" features. For battery operated, that's a whole different topic. Overall, I'm happy with the construction and manufacturing of this table saw. It's solid. It arrived well-protected and everything operational as designed.
