They both use 210mm blades. Aldi's takes more power but that's about all
I can say to distinguish them. Lidl mention some details but not the
slide length, and the Aldi web site tells you even less than the Lidl
one.

The Lidl one apparently comes with batteries. They should help it cut
through about 0.5mm of balsa. Or maybe they are for the laser. ;-)

The normal problem with these is the poor dust collection. The Aldi may
be a fraction better than Lidl.

I have a 300mm Bosch and its a dirty b*****d. Sawdust scattered about like snuff at a wake.
