PRO:

I have one. I like the set-up time (short) the repeatability, and
the small size. It was reasonably (?) priced, and occupies little space.
It appears to be accurate enough for trim, small projects, and the stuff
I do. (I also have a Sears (gasp) Radial arm saw, 1973 vintage for other
stuff.) I also tend to collect special tools a la Norm, but that's another
story (I love air nailers!).

CON:

It has a small motor, very noisy. I had to add a 2" PVC pipe sleeve inside
the dust bag connector to make sure dust would flow into the bag freely. Some
of the plastic parts are small, but I am very careful not to force things.
The stand could be higher. Accessories are a bit hard to find so far. Dust
collection could be better, but is about what I expected. So far, I like it.
