Dewalt is fine. No complaints.
Might look at the deep cut version next time.
Milli walkie is good too.
Really can't go wrong with any of the elextric Porta Bands. IMO
Battery models available also.
Never tried one.
I use mine all the time.
Both in a SWAG Offroad stand and in hand for rough cutting tube work.
Just keep extra blades in stock. They are fairly cheap and break at completly random times.

I love mine but after years of abuse it needs a reconditioning.  I am glad all the parts I need are available, basically the rubber wheel covers and the roller guides.

Swag off road makes a stand for the Dewalt as well so you can bench mount it as well.

I wouldn't even consider anything but Dewalt for the price.   hint hint...

Pretty good deal.

If they offer a brushless version?
