I haven't found much difference between "brand" names and ones sold at Amazon for few bucks per blade when it comes to wood blades or metal ones for that matter. The ones for wood cut about the same and all once hit nail are done for. Similar thing applies to metal ones which handle nails somewhat but once hit screw they're done for as well. Exception to this are carbide tipped ones made in Switzerland under brands like Bosch, Diablo and Dremel, they last longest if used properly and handle even soft clay tile like 4x4 sized ones when small cuts need to be done. For long cuts circular saw reciprocating saw or grinder beats multitool speeds and blade wear so I only use for spaces where it's limited access for those. Most blades once teeth are done can still be made into scraper blades with grinder wheel for cutting caulk and adhesives so there's not much point in buying those types even.

This is pretty much my experience, and what I have seen online.
Cheap blades are all essentially the same, and should be treated as disposable (and buy cheap ones accordingly).
If you do some serious use, go with carbide blades from a name brand.

For plywood and sheetrock I use cheap blades. They're just as disposable as razor blades. If I was having to cut hardwood for finish work I have some carbide teeth Milwaukee ones that work great. I see no reason on spending the extra money on these blades unless you are doing fine finish work. Other than that, the China knock off brands are plenty and great. They will also cut a nail or two but our garbage afterwards but that's okay

Interesting. I bought some Amazon blades and they were smoking and burning so quickly, so I just assumed they're all junk.

Smoke means it was either at too high speed or got dull very quickly. There's a learning curve to it and usually gained with experience based on which material and which blades are getting used on. For hardwood and soft wood the "japanese tooth" works best at slower speeds so it doesn't "rub" too fast to start burning wood with it's flat sides and you have to watch the push pressure as well. Carbide tipped work better for metal and non wood stuff but because they don't have alternating teeth they burn much quicker in wood since already cut off wood particles don't have enough room to get out of the way of the blade and end up grinding the existing wood (think how they used to start fire with two wood pieces).
From my experience most blades that have non smooth finish (on cheap blades they sometimes put matte finish so they don't rust or look "better" maybe) tend to start smoking faster since the rougher finish produces more friction on flat sides especially at higher speeds.

Spent lots of money on various blades, dewalt, harbor freight. Finally bought Diablo's on a Slickdeal and am still on the first blade I bought after several jobs when I'd easily have burnt through 5 of the cheaper ones.

Blades for the oscillating tools are a hustle. The value for what you get is out of line with other tools and blades for different saws. You could get a multi pack of decent circular saw blades, a pack of 15 reciprocating saw blades, or even a nice knockoff Japanese hand saw cheaper than these little blades. That being said, they are often the right or by far the best tools for the task at hand and if you need it, you need it.

Overpriced for non-carbide. Keep an eye out on fleabay for Diablo carbide 3 packs $15-16.
