OK good, now we're getting some details.

I take it you have some hands on experience of this saw?

.....or is it just some more generalised and opinionated crap trashing
some product you have probably walked passed in the aisle not giving it
a second glance, never mind actually using one!

My point is that the OP asked for opinion from people with experience.
Not one of you are familiar with the saw but are more than willing to
trash it.

To the OP, there are a couple of Ryobi forums where you will likely get
a more informed opinion:
