Note, this is my 'first' ever circular saw, so i don't have much reference points, however, I like it very much. I do have some other cutting tools, but never a circular saw.
So I used it to cut some wood that I needed to cut through 2.5 inches, which this 7 1/4" blade you will have to divide that by two and then reduce some more to figure out the length it can cut, so this saw length barely was able to cut at length of 2.5 inches, if you need to cut anything larger than 2.5 inches i think you will need to jump into the 10" circular saw.
Note, this is quite powerful circular saw at 15 amps.
Price wise this is a great value for your money in my opinion, other higher end brands will costs probably double. I do not have an extreme heavy use for it, it is just for hobbies and fixing stuff, so this fits perfect for me and my budget. Happy with my purchase.

Not enough room inside the handle, seems like it was made for people with small to medium sized hands. I have skinned my knuckles on the metal adjustment arc several times.
