EDIT: This deal has been hit hard and there are stock issues on the 10" (and the 7-1/4" as well). The deal is scheduled to run till January so just keep watch out there and set a stock notification on the Lowe's website. Good luck!
Right now Lowe's is running their on going buy Bosch batteries and get free tools with a deal I've not seen before. Usually the "free gift" tool is bland like a drill or angle grinder. With some regularity they'll offer the Profactor 7-1/4 battery miter saw. But right now they are offering the 10" battery miter saw.
Personally I did a pack of the batteries a few weeks ago and got the 7-1/4 and love it. It's got some nice feature, and an 8AH battery (not included but one that I had) lasts forever with it. But I would have preferred this deal but it wasn't offered at the time --- Bosch or Lowe's decided to add it to the deal midstream which I've not seen before. So I bought another pack of batteries and got a 10" big brother for my smaller one and will just marketplace all the extra batteries to get the saws free (since I have tons of Bosch batteries already)

Bosch's 18 volt battery kit deal is really a way to land the 10 inch dual bevel sliding miter saw, and the saw itself is the standout for cut capacity, left and right beveling, and solid performance on 4 amp hour batteries. The community also notes it can be a major upgrade, with clean cuts and enough power for regular shop use. The catch is inventory, since the saw often disappears by zip code, store, or checkout flow, and shipping can add steep fees or fail entirely. A practical pick if you can catch stock and navigate the cart quirks.

Both have been possible depending on inventory and site behavior. Some orders only allowed pickup, while others could be switched to ship-to-home or delivery after changing stores or toggling pickup/shipping in cart; shipping has also shown a $79 charge in some cases.
Check the saw's direct product page, change ZIP/store locations, and use the app or chat reps to search farther out. Stock is highly location-dependent, but units have shown up for pickup or delivery at stores 20-40 miles away and sometimes across state lines.
Yes, but you usually have to open the battery combo, click "choose gift," unselect the automatically offered drill, and scroll to the bottom or hit "show more" until the 10" saw appears. In some carts, changing the drill quantity to 0 is what unlocks the saw option.
The 10" has more cut capacity, dual-bevel adjustment, and can tilt left or right, while the 7-1/4" is lighter and easier to move. The tradeoff is size and weight: the 10" is about 40 lb versus 26 lb for the 7-1/4".
Yes, it can run fine on 4Ah batteries for normal use, and several owners run the 10" on 4Ah packs most of the time. An 8Ah battery may be preferable for longer runtime, but the saw is reported to work well on the included packs.

I got the 7 1/4 free miter last deal, so not sure if need this one, unless to re-sell the miter and keep the batteries (but then who would buy it without batteries)

This link shows all battery brands that have free tools at Lowes. You may be lucky to score nice tools based on your zip. Nothing worth for me.
