After looking high and low for a sliding compound miter saw with laser this is the only one I could find. Although I was skeptical (because it was the only one I could find) I order it. I couldn't be happier. It's easy to cart around to job sites. The laser is terriffic, well worth the extra money! The trigger took a little getting used to (actually a safety feature), but once you get the hang of it, you love it too!
