Customer Reviews:

Great little saw for the Do-It-Yourselfer [Posted on 2001-08-07]
I bought this saw for my first tile job in my Kitchen. I have since used it for two other jobs and it works great. The price of this saw is just a little more than the rental cost of a saw for one job. It is easy to use and accurate. The only draw back is you can not cut as fast as you could on a larger saw. If you are only doing a few tile jobs around your home, it is great. I am still on my first blade, too.

A decent value [Posted on 2001-12-31]
I bought the saw for home use to tile 700 SF;
with every tile requiring cutting. The motor
burned out with only 5 tiles left to cut. This
was a three week project so it was still much
cheaper than renting a saw. I got my money's worth.

Plasplug model DWW405 [Posted on 2002-02-05]
I purchased a similar model at Home Depot for more money than the one offered by Amazon. We intended to tile 3 bathrooms: counters and two large showers, and a kitchen with four counters and backsplashes. We also used it to help tile our daughter's kitchen. We probably cut 400+ tiles before the motor started making strange noises. Before that the fence guide hold-down broke, making straight cuts more difficult but not impossible. With one shower to go, we will probably buy a new one. It's worth the price compared to renting and being able to go at your own pace.

Great solution for small/one-time jobs [Posted on 2002-06-14]
Can you finish a high-quality, small job with the Plasplugs Comapct tile saw? Yes, if you are patient and careful to not abuse it.

Will you see a professional tile worker use one? No.

Limitations:

1) Water reservoir is small, heats up and dries out quickly.

2) Does not cut quickly - if you are paying someone to use it by the hour you'd be best off investing more money in a pro machine.

3) I did not experience any failures/breakdowns in making 400+ cuts in 4" limestone tiles, but this machine was not designed to last a lifetime. Don't plan on passing it to your grandchildren.

4) Real Tool Guys will make fun of your "Easy-Bake" tile saw.

Pretty lame... [Posted on 2004-02-11]
I'm giving it 3 stars, though maybe it deserves more AS LONG AS you're not going beyond ceramic cutting. A similar plasplugs saw described the product as being able to cut stone, and i was under the impression that the compact saw could do the same. I received it yesterday, started cutting today, and I went through about 7 small 1/4 inch thick stone tiles. POP! There goes the motor. I'm replacing it with a regular, more professional tile saw that can definitely go through stone reliably. I'm not bashing the saw, necessarily, just really placing emphasis on the CERAMIC cutting abilities of this saw, and that's the limit.
