Review here http://www.toolweb.co.uk/reviewexakt.html mind you this bloke
gives everything a great review, so I wouldn't take much notice of him,
probably paid to say nice things.

I've had one for a couple of years and it has been very good as long
as you accept its limitations. I've cut everything from ceramic tiling
and aluminium trim (burr free with a TCT blade) to all manner of
hardwoods. You _have_ to use extraction as the blade is fully enclosed
and clogs unless the waste is extracted. The build quality IMO is very
good indeed and it has one thing most power tools lack, a nice long
cable.

It's a niche tool and probably the Fein Multimaster can do everything
this little saw can but I wouldn't part with mine even after I buy the
Fein kit.
