That was me. I love the saw.
If you buy one get a shop vac, if you don't already have one, and attach it to the back. The dust will be much less than if you get the bag for it. I tried the bag, cleaned it up, returned it, and bought a shop vac.
I also recommend getting the zero gap cover plate (or whatever it's called). It makes it much easier to cut small strips.
I also bought the wheel kit which is nice when I pull the saw out to use it. The bolts that came with the wheel kit were the kind that fit in a square hole so you don't have to hold the bolt when turning the nut. The problem is that the holes were round or too big (I can't remember which). Anyway, eagle gave me the right bolts when I went back. If you buy the wheel kit save yourself a trip by opening the box and making sure the bolts will work.
I'm using the blade that came with it and it works great. I've mainly only been ripping strips with it. I haven't used the router or done much cross-cutting with it.
