I have given this saw I bought on Amazon, 5 stars because it is great! I am a beginner DIYer that likes to buy quality tools that will last me a looong time. I had bought a ryb with laser and sliding but I noticed the cheap quality. Stickers are used to tell you what angle you are in when mitering and doing bevel cuts. I debated greatly whether to return the ryb or keep it. My friend who is a pretty good carpenter told me to return it and get a Dwt. I debated whether to get the 10 or 12 inch. I am building a closet and am cutting a lot of 1x12s. I have no table saw yet. I went for the 10 inch because its lighter, cheaper blades, and more compact and the 12 inch cuts 8 inches while the 10 inch cuts 6 inches,(still would've had to flip it over) and so far its been great! Yes, I have to cut one side then flip it and sometimes the cut isn't perfect but for the work I'm doing its fine. Cuts everything, base caps, 3 1/4 stool and window trim, like a knife cutting through butter. The stock blade cuts very smooth if you lower it slowly and let it cut clean. It was right on, all the 45s angles. bevel, and miter. Haven't checked other angles but to me that's fine for now. Also, it is a type "2" or "3" and the box does not say you can add the light or laser. Which to me, it doesn't matter because I lower the blade to see where the cut is going to be and then when I start the saw I lower it slowly to make sure its on the mark.
The Pros: Solidly built, reasonable price, right on with the 45s angles, good stock blade (prob will upgrade to 40 or 50 tooth blade), its pretty compact and light weight,
The Cons: No work clamp, extension bars, and the saw dust bag does catch some saw dust but a lot of it just flies all over the saw.
Overall, great saw for the DIYer, at any level of experience and knowledge. I have a ryb miter saw stand that I kept after returning the ryb cms and it's great. I'll update later if anything happens. So choose, this saw only when you know its the saw for the job you'll be doing. Do a lot of research and know your budget.
