Which cheap circular saw? Going to need it about 6 times over next 2

W/C 22nd Sept, Aldi are doing a Power Craft circular saw with laser
guide for £24.99

Or there's this "re-engineered" one from Langwells for £15.99:

The cheapest "proper" one I can find is £22.33+P&P from Hunter Tools

Or a cordless one for £19.97 from Maplin

The Aldi one has a 3 year guarantee, which is what caught my
attention.
I mean, the amusingly named B&Q "Performance" saw is £19.97 with one
year warranty, and in my experience, performance stuff seems to last
until they come across anything tougher than damp kitchen paper.

So, anything against the Aldi one?

I bought the Lidl one for £19.99 last year and has proved its value for
money because its still doing its job.
A bit heavy and large like but it came with a fine&course blades plus a
spare set of carbon brushes.
As for Aldi I won't touch their power tools after the SDS drill they was
selling a month or two ago.
