When I bought mine it was around £80 compared to the big brands at
£125. The Wickes is now £100 & the Makita is on promo at £115, so I
might well make a different decision now, but I can't fault the
Wickes machine to be fair.


The above suggests that Makita are worried then, which means that they
must be somewhat comparable is quality...
