I picked one up last week as it was on offer and looked ok.
CoSt me £500 Inc vat with a free ox blade, can't remember the number on it but it's similar to the landscaper blade and a free 9" 110 grinder.
It also comes with a 3 year warranty and servicing.
I'm impressed. It's light, has very little vibration, handles well, as powerful as sthil or husqvarna, auto compression and just pull the cord to start unless it's cold.
Definitely a good alternative to sthil or husqvarna.

Yeah amazon reviews are excellent. Lighter too. I'm a big makita fan. I will be buying one. Nothing they make is less than excellent.

What's more important to make good cuts on slabs?
A good saw or a good disc?
Thanks

It's a really good bit of kit FB
Both really Jimmy. Having the right blade for the right job IMO is crucial but the saw must also feel nice to use and be powerful enough to go through what ever your cutting without it taking forever.

I've no doubt Sy. I'm the milkybar makita kid. I've literally got about 10 maki tools and all are excellent. I've had no problems with my TS410 stihl cutter but i need to double up and I'm def getting the Maki
Stihl stuff is all made in China now anyway.
Why did you pay £500. Everywhere I've seen it advertised £400?
