My Compare Reactions 23
Quick takes on side-by-side spec battles.
Pick
Makita LS1018
Makita LS1018 vs Makita LS1019L
Noise level kinda matters on job sites and LS1018 is quieter at 90 dB compared to LS1019L at 93 dB so it's a bit less noisy.
Pick
RYOBI P551
RYOBI P551 vs RYOBI P553
The blade speed on the P551 feels way faster and slicker for quick cuts than the P553.
Pick
Honda EU2200i Companion
WEN 56225i vs Honda EU2200i Companion
Both have overload protection but I lean towards Honda for the extra peace of mind it offers
Pick
Honda EU2200i
Honda EU1000i vs Honda EU2200i
Lowkey the CO auto shutdown on the EU2200i feels like a must-have safety feature so I'm going with that one.
