I'm not saying brushless is impossible for an AC product, but brushless motors run on DC so you'd need some sort of rectifier in order to achieve that.
For a tool like this, I'll take corded.

I think the dewalt 10" version would be better choice for a buy once option.
I've been watching and researching. I may just pull the trigger on the HF hurricane table saw if I can't find a deal on the dewalt. Reviews comparing it to the dewalt are very favorable. If I was a pro, I'd probably opt for dewalt, but I really haven't seen much critical about the HF one.
I have this saw and it's been great. Make sure you use hearing protection.

When you say HF Hurricane, do you mean this Hercules?

Yes, was $299 last week or so. Think it may drop more during BF.
Also, been looking at those sawstops. Is that worth the extra $$ or just a gimmick? Seems to me the extra $1k is worth not losing a finger.
It's $25k. Sawstop seems legit.
I'm staying the fck away from table saws as a noob and not a woodworker.

10 year experience with a table saw and with one accident became an amputee.

For those who wonder about the safety, I would say that you need to exercise caution every time you use a saw, or even any tool in the workshop. If you have the money, getting a sawstop is good insurance, but you shouldn't rely on safety mechanisms to save you. Thus far, the riving knife on the table saw has been sufficient for me, and I always use the stick pusher to finish my cuts, after making sure the path is clear, my balance is maintained, etc. Woodworking is fun and fulfilling but one accident would spell the end of this hobby for me.
Just my thoughts as someone who picked up woodworking during the pandemic.
Update: I think deal is dead. At checkout, the coupon wasn't accepted.

Just read an interesting (if old) document about why SawStop tech isn't available on benchtop saws: guy who owns the patents wouldn't lease the tech without at least an 8% royalty, which would basically price them out of their own market when you factor in the additional manufacturing and redesign costs, plus retail markup. He also edited his patent during review to apply to ANY blade retraction method because the Power Tool Institute was developing their own version and he didn't want competition. Real jerk move, since he just changed a sentence in the patent application to give himself a monopoly over any form of that technology.
