1) It isn't big enough to cut 2x6 decking, which is one of the key reasons I'm looking at trading mine in for a slider or a bigger saw.
2) There's no guide laser light, which when you're as inexperienced of a DIY-er as I am, comes in real handy on my circular saw since I can't cut a straight line to save my life.
4) as soon as you get miter test if it's square or can be adjusted to be square, my ryobi is wobbling so i can never make precise 90 degree

7 1/2 is small, but fine for 2x4's. Anything larger and you'll probably want a 10 inch.

In the end, the limited cutting capacity prompted me to get the slider version of the cordless Ryobi - a Slickdeal here for one of the refurbs sold through Direct Tool Outlet. It's just a much more capable saw being able to handle considerably wider stock. I gave the original non-slider to a friend who's also invested in the Ryobi 18volt ecosystem.
That's one thing I've always appreciated about Ryobi - they've never changed their battery pack interface. All my original blue Ryobi cordless 18 volt tools accept the much newer lithium-ion batteries. I have an original drill driver that must be at least 20 years old - I can't kill the thing. Any other tool brand and it would have long since been orphaned by a switch to a new battery format. But everything Ryobi puts out now seems to be backwards compatible with those old early models.
the u-shaped fence retainer behind the saw is split in half, its hollow inside and poor metallurgy (nearly impossible to fix and get a square fence). the switch handle its hollow plastic and broken. the spring on saw guard worked its way out somehow. some posters here saying the fence isnt square? thats a big nono.
ryobi is the cheapest brand for a reason. however if you are very careful with it and tae care of it, it will work and save you money. (however thats not practical for a true work saw that sees lots of abuse and moving around)
i wouldnt buy this, seems like a minor convenience for all the downsides of a limited lifespan battery, power issues. wait for a sliding saw to go on sale, got my northern tools one for about $80 shipped. got a shopmaster from HD for about $150.
