Hi,

trawled back through Goggle Groups a way but couldn't find this question
answered.

I gather that:

(1) Some people find the PlasPlugs plastic tile cutters a bit flexible.
(2) Steel tile cutters tend to rust.

So is it best to go for a more expensive PlasPlugs model, or are there
better alternatives?

Screwfix shows the Erbauer at £44.99 or the Rexon at £59.99.

Alternatively (if I can find anywhere with one in stock) B&Q do the
PlasPlugs Pro Tiler Plus for £39.99.

Anyone have experience of these models, and can give me some feedback?

I have one of the Screwfix Erbauer saws.
It's very strongly built - all-metal (which makes it reassuringly
heavy!), and it's got the ability to cut straight across a tile,
diagonally across (clever little plastic thingy fits over the
'fence').

It can also cut at an angle to the tile's face, though not sure why
you'd want to do that.

Only minor niggles are the fact that the water reservoir (which sits
under the blade) is a bit of a fiddle to get in & out, and usually
spills when you are trying to clean up after a cutting session.

So far I've only used it for cutting wall tiles - but it was quick and
accurate.
Well worth the money, I'd say

Good luck
Adrian
