Customer feedback:

1. This is a great little tile saw! It's easily worth twice the money. I bought it for a project that involved cutting 13 x 13 tiles for a fireplace. As long as you take your time, keep the water reservoir full and feed the tile slowly you should get good cuts. I've already made at least 200 cuts on large tile and the blade is still cutting like it did out of the box.
I really like the design; it's just like a little table saw. I have a lot of experience cutting wood on all kinds of machines but have never cut tile in my life. Inside of 5 minutes I was making all kinds of cuts with great results. I really like the ability to cut 45 and 22-degree angles by just tilting up the table face near the blade.
The only thing that I would change on this saw would be to make it out of metal instead of plastic. Then, of course you would probably have to pay 2 to 3 times as much for it. This is not necessarily a criticism, just an observation.

2. I own a small home improvement/remodeling company, on occasion I will need to cut a few tiles but have no use for a large saw. (I call a tile sub in for large projects). I have made probably 600 cuts so far with this saw and it has worked like a champ and payed for itself with the first use. It's a bit on the loud side and will spray water at you if you over-fill the reservoir. It has plenty of power though, and the fence works just fine if it's lined up properly. Cleanup is made easy by spraying it outside with a garden hose. It is light, portable and will suit the average person that needs to cut a few tiles just fine. The bottom line...if you intend to do some small tiling projects around the home such as a bathroom, kitchen or entryway then this will easily do the job, if your going to be laying 1000 sq ft of tile with lots of cuts then durability might be an issue!!
