Depends on your setup. Sliding has such a long back. It's difficult against a wall. But I would go 12-in for that

You don't want slide unless you need it, because they're much heavier, and most of the time, you'd want to carry it outside because it makes so much dust even with vac-connected.

The carrying it outside part is important.

I have a big 12" dewalt slide, but I never use it because it's so damn heavy.

This 10" non slide is much lighter and easier to bring in and out.

There's the 7-1/4" type saws too, and they're even lighter, but if you only want to buy 1 saw, get the 10".

I have the Hitachi branded version of this from like 1-2 years ago. iIt's been great, easy set up, easy to use. I'm not any type of skilled woodworker, but I'm learning. I've used this to make benches, printer tables, and 1 outdoor chair, all very basic stuff. This thing is perfect for those applications. I do sometimes wish I had a sliding saw, but not really a big deal.

This is a good price.

This looks identical to the dangerous Hitachi, Hitachi has a couple, there's an older one and there's a better one. The older one is dangerous like crazy, the blade cover is made of a shattering plastic and it wobbles like crazy. I bought one from lowes on a deal like this and it's the only item i've bought where i felt it necessary to make a video showing how bad it was.

Agreed. I got the Hitachi version of this saw a couple years ago for a project and quickly realized that I should have gotten a sliding miter saw.

Ended up having to cut my losses and bought the cordless makita sliding miter saw. To the people saying they're too hard to move around, that's what rolling saw stands are made for so I don't really see the merit on those complaints. I have the Hercules from harbor freight and its great.

Yes, picked up the previous version of this model about four years ago for roughly the same price and have done several DIY/woodcutting jobs around the house.
For example, I swapped in a Diablo blade with high tooth count for moldings (baseboards) and it worked great. It's also more convenient for cross cutting small quantities than my table saw.

Hitachi = Metabo HPT

From March 2018 Press Release
Source: BUSINESS WIRE [businesswire.com]

Hitachi Power Tools today announced a name change from Hitachi Power Tools to Metabo HPT for its full line of power tools ... "The legacy of our brand has been built over many decades and will exceed all expectations as our name changes to Metabo HPT," said Joe Leffler, Sr. Vice President of Sales, Marketing, General Management & Board Member, Hitachi Power Tools. "Nothing will change about our brand except the name." Products will retain current brand identity: same color, same model numbers, same warranties and the same battery interchangeability. They will be made by the same people, in the same factories, with the same specifications..." It is important to note that as Hitachi Power Tools changes their name in the North American market to Metabo HPT, the original Metabo brand headquartered in West Chester, PA will remain. These two distinct brands, Metabo HPT and Metabo, are part of the parent company, Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd (scheduled to change the name to Koki Holdings Co., Ltd in June 2018) that partnered with leading global investment firm KKR from April 2017.

Based on the reviews, there seem to be some quality issues with parts cracking that should crack. I'll have to pass unfortunately.

Got this saw during BF, I really like it, it's got handles in just the right place, really easy to carry/ handle.

Everything else works as any other saw, nothing remarkable there, but it's a saw, it cuts wood.

What about reliability? Cutting wood once versus reliably cutting wood is a different story.

Given that this is not a very high tech thing, there's very little that can go wrong. it's a dc brushed motor. nod

That's who this saw was built for. It is good for the price, but the base is cheap and weak as you can see in the reviews. It's good for the homeowner putting up a fence or building a gazebo.

Hitachi is pretty damned reliable. The thin base is a failure point as the reviews show. The motor will likely work for decades for a homeowner as this product is intended. For $90 is extremely capable of putting up a fence or small building projects that a homeowner will do.

Professional builders aren't looking at this tier of tool.

I have this saw in the Hitachi branding. I picked it up a couple years ago for $79 from Lowes ($99 - 20% coupon) and it's been a champ ever since. If you're a home gamer or not dealing with super wide boards, then this is unbeatable.
