Makita dropped the ball on this one.

I don't really care for this saw. It vibrates a lot. Not very comfortable to use for any amount of time. Where is Makitas AVT? That said, it does cut adequately, and the run time is sufficient.The light is a very handy feature for under cabinets and in crawlspaces/attics.

Pros
LED light, battery life
Cons
vibration
