Summary
4.5 stars, 1,900 reviews. Owners consistently mention low vibration and quiet operation. At 4.0 lbs bare, it's light enough for overhead and extended cuts without hand fatigue. The 3 orbital settings are sufficient for most work. Some owners wish it had a 4th orbital setting for faster rough cuts.
