This saw is absolutely insane! I cannot believe how powerful and how well it cuts. I can see why it has a perfect 5-star rating with thousands of reviews. The price is also amazing and by far the lowest I have seen anywhere. Good job Dewalt and Amazon! Only regret is I wish I had this tool years ago!

Nice unit, Had the power cord version before, and this makes it more simple using it around the house without needing a power cord.

Excellent industrial style product. Easy blade changes , be sure to read the instructions…

I thought about giving this 4 stars, but only because of the cheaply designed plastic zero clearance insert. I decided that wasn’t worth taking off an entire star, so the five stars.
Likes:
blade changes – any easier and Dewalt would have had to supply you with a personal valet to change the blades for you. Just practice a few minutes to get the feel of when the blade is in the correct position and you’re good to go. I may be making even more of that than it is by saying to practice. It’s really simple.
Power: could not tell the difference between this and a corded Bosch I had for years. Cut thru 2″ thick Purpleheart almost as easily as 1″ plywood. Of course, this has a lot to do with the blade, but if you’re wondering about the battery power, it’s not an issue at all.
weight: as far as I can tell, weighs no more than my old corded one.
vibration: so little as to be insignificant.
blade brake: the blade stops moving the instant you let go of the trigger, I mean instantly – zero delay
dust blower: this actually works!. It does keep the cut line clean. My old (other brand) one supposedly had a blower, but it did nothing.
cut quality: now this has more to do with the blade than the jigsaw, but at least this saw doesn’t get in the way of a good blade.
case: comes with a very nice sturdy case. not so much of an issue for a homeowner, but if you’re a contractor, I suppose this would help to protect it between jobs.
CONS:
zero clearance insert: basically, it’s a joke. Come on Dewalt, you can do better. Add $10 to the cost if you have to, but make a ZCI that is worth putting on the saw.
price: yea, it’s a bit pricey if you don’t already have one of the 20 volt LI-ION batteries and charger, but that’s the price you pay for this kind of convenience (pun intended).
So, looks to me the good far outweighs the bad here, In the immortal words of Dennis Miller “That’s my opinion, I could be wrong”
Update:
OK, I’ve had this now for 6 months, and I couldn’t be happier. Granted, I don’t use it everyday, and it’s not my main tool for sure, but it has seen what would probably be a total of an hour or so of continuous use. That’s a guess, since the average use is a few seconds at a time. Anyway, I’ve changed blades a dozen or more times, used it for everything from 1/4″ plywood to 2″ thick Oak, and it has performed perfectly.
Now for the part that really amazed me. In the almost 6 months I’ve had this jigsaw, I have yet to recharge the battery since the initial time. There isn’t hours of time on it, but it shows no signs of needing recharged, and I think even for Li-ion that’s pretty darn good. I just take it out of the case and it’s good to go. (for those of you familiar with “Friday” from Robert Heinlein, maybe there’s a Shipstone in there)

When I got it I found it was a bit big for a jigsaw, and heavy. Now when you use it, you forget that because it’S powerfull, and it cuts like butter with the blade included with the saw. I cut xtra hard wood with it to test and it.s flawless. Great purchase. I tested it with a 2amp battery.
