Sheet on a pack you own
You already own Power X-Change packs and the timber stays inside 54 mm. The TE-CS 18/165-1 states that depth at about £74, and UK review text says the blade coasts. A brake is not in the bullets.
Einhell circular saw comparison 2026
The best Einhell circular saws, compared.
Top pick: Einhell TP-CS 18/165 Li BL Solo – Highest score at 96, from 4.8 and 114 reviews, for a stated brake on a pack you already own. Best value: Einhell TC-CS 1410 – Complete 230 V saw at about £71.95, with 67 mm stated at 90 degrees, and no pack to buy. Updated October 2026.
An Einhell circular saw is a hand-held saw from amazon.co.uk, not a mitre saw, a plunge saw, or a guide rail. Seven are 18 V bodies sold without a battery or charger. You tell them apart by blade diameter and depth at 90 degrees, by whether the bullets state a motor brake, and by whether the price is a complete tool. The 150 mm and 165-1 listings share one 4.6-from-3,946 rating line, so that number is not two verdicts. How depth, a body and a brake split is in the [Einhell circular saw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/einhell-circular-saw/sub/einhell-circular-saw-buying-guide). Einhell sells those packs separately, so a price is not a complete tool. The eighth row is the 1410, a 230 V saw stated at 1,410 W. Match the depth to the timber before you match the star line. A 28 mm saw is for sheet, parquet or thin boards. It is the wrong saw for a joist. Forty-eight millimetres is tight if the tooth has to clear under a 40 mm board. The corded saw is the only row that states 67 mm at 90 degrees and 46 mm at 45 degrees.

The best Einhell circular saws in detail
Our view
The TP-CS 18/165 Li BL Solo carries the highest score in this set, 96, because 4.8 from 114 amazon.co.uk reviews times 20 is the top of the stored method, and on that rule it is the top pick at £129.97. The bullet states a brushless motor, a motor brake, and soft start, and UK reviews say the blade stops when you release the trigger. Depth is up to 59 mm at 90 degrees in the bullet and 58 mm in the highlight, so the two lines do not match and you should plan on 58 mm if you are close to the limit. Only five reviews are marked United Kingdom, which is a thin sample beside the shared 3,946 line on the cheaper 165-1. The box is the saw, a 24-tooth blade, a parallel stop, and a hex key, with no battery or charger. Bore, depth at 45 degrees, and a guide-rail claim are not in the amazon bullets. Einhell’s UK page does mention a rail, a brake, and a 10-year brushless line after registration, and that guarantee is not an amazon bullet, so at 2.9 kg the £129.97 is still only a Solo body.
Pros
- Highest stored score in the set, 4.8 from 114 reviews
- Bullet states a motor brake, soft start, and a brushless motor
- UK reviews say the blade stops when the trigger is released
- Up to 59 mm in the bullet, with a parallel stop in the box
Cons
- Highlight says 58 mm, so the depth lines do not agree
- Only five reviews are marked United Kingdom
- £129.97 Solo body, with no battery or charger
- Bore and depth at 45 degrees are not stated on the amazon bullets
Best for: You already own a Power X-Change pack and you want the 165 mm saw whose bullet states a brake.
Less suitable: You have no Einhell pack, or you wanted a large UK review sample before you trust 4.8.

Common questions
Does the TP-CS 18/165 Li BL include a battery?
No. The bullet says no Power X-Change battery or charger is in the box. One 18 V pack is required.
Does this listing state a motor brake?
Yes. The bullet states a motor brake and soft start. A UK review says the blade stops when the trigger is released.
What depth is stated for the TP-CS 18/165?
The bullet says up to 59 mm at 90 degrees. The highlight says 58 mm. Depth at 45 degrees and the bore are not stated. A guide-rail claim is not stated in the bullets.
Our view
The TE-CS 18/150 Li Solo is the lowest shelf price in this extract, at £61.81, and the bullet states 48 mm at 90 degrees on a 150 mm blade. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 3,946 reviews, but the same line and the same review text sit on the 165-1 listing, so you should not treat 3,946 as a sample that belongs only to this saw. It weighs 2.34 kg. The bullet says the battery and charger are sold separately, so the £61.81 is a body price. The bore is stated as 10 mm or 16 mm, which will not take a 20 mm blade from the 165 mm rows. A guide rail is claimed and sold separately. A motor brake is not stated, and depth at 45 degrees is not in the amazon bullets. Einhell’s own UK page states 32 mm at 45 degrees for this model, which is a second source rather than the listing you pay for.
Pros
- Lowest shelf price in this extract, at £61.81
- Bullet states 48 mm at 90 degrees
- Bore is stated as 10 mm or 16 mm
- Light body at 2.34 kg, with a blade included and the rail sold separately
Cons
- The 4.6 from 3,946 is shared with the 165-1 and is not this saw’s own sample
- Battery and charger are not in the box
- 48 mm is tight if you need tooth clearance under a 40 mm board
- A motor brake and the 45 degree depth are not stated on amazon
Best for: You already own a Power X-Change pack and your timber stays comfortably inside 48 mm.
Less suitable: You have no Einhell pack yet, or you need a stated brake and a 20 mm bore.

Common questions
Does the TE-CS 18/150 Li Solo include a battery?
No. The bullet says it is supplied without a battery or charger. Both are available separately on the Power X-Change system.
How deep does the 150 mm saw cut?
The bullet states 48 mm at 90 degrees. Depth at 45 degrees is not stated on the amazon bullets. The bullet does say tilt is adjusted without tools.
What bore does the 150 mm bullet state?
10 mm or 16 mm. The listing also says the saw is compatible with the Einhell guide rail, sold separately. A motor brake is not stated.
Our view
The TE-CS 18/165-1 Li Solo is listed at £74.00, and the bullets state 54 mm at 90 degrees, 35 mm at 45 degrees, and a 20 mm bore. It shares the 4.6-from-3,946 rating line with the 150 mm saw, so that count is one file, not a second verdict for this model. UK review text in that shared file says the blade keeps spinning after you release the trigger, and a motor brake is not in the bullets. The highlight says a saw blade is included. The battery and charger are not. Einhell’s UK shop has listed the same model number at £92.95 with 4,200 rpm and an 18-tooth blade, against this amazon line of 4,500 rpm and 24 teeth, so the page you order from is the amazon extract. A guide rail is claimed and sold separately. At 2.72 kg it is a light saw for sheet and floorboards if you already own a pack and you will wait for a coasting blade to stop.
Pros
- Bullets state 54 mm at 90 degrees and 35 mm at 45 degrees
- 20 mm bore is written on the listing
- £74.00 body price, with a blade named in the highlight
- Guide rail claimed, sold separately
Cons
- No motor brake in the bullets, and UK review text says the blade coasts
- The 3,946 reviews are shared with the 150 mm listing
- Battery and charger are not in the box
- Einhell’s UK page disagrees on price, idle speed, and tooth count
Best for: You already own a Power X-Change pack and you want 54 mm of depth without paying the brushless prices.
Less suitable: You want the blade to stop when you release the trigger, or you have no Einhell pack.

Common questions
Is the TE-CS 18/165-1 a complete kit?
No. The Solo name and the bullets say the battery and charger are not in the box. The highlight says a saw blade is included.
What bevel depth does the 165-1 bullet state?
35 mm at 45 degrees, and 54 mm at 90 degrees. The angle field says 90 degrees, which conflicts with that bevel line. The bore is 20 mm.
Does the 165-1 listing state a motor brake?
No. A brake is not in the bullets. A UK review says the blade does not stop when the trigger is released. The guide rail is claimed and sold separately.
Our view
The TE-CS 18/165-2 Li Solo is listed at £216.63, the outlier shelf price in this extract, and the bullets state 57 mm at 90 degrees and 39 mm at 45 degrees on a 20 mm bore. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 105 reviews, and the one review marked United Kingdom is a complaint: the saw cut out, and the reviewer waited almost half a minute before it would run again, on a 5.2 Ah pack. Soft start and overload protection are listed, and a motor brake is not. The title omits BL while the bullet writes Li BL, so brushless is not a settled name on this page. A guide-rail claim is not stated, and the included-components line prints “Parallel Fail” beside the Allen key, which is not a fence specification you can use. There is no battery or charger in the box. At 2.9 kg and 57 mm it does not justify £216.63 beside the £129.97 brake saw or the £74.00 165-1.
Pros
- Bullets state 57 mm at 90 degrees and 39 mm at 45 degrees
- 20 mm bore is written on the listing
- Soft start is listed, and a blade and Allen key are in the box
- 4.6 from 105 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- £216.63 is the outlier price, and the only UK-marked review is a cut-out complaint
- Motor brake and guide rail are not stated
- Title and bullet disagree on whether the model is BL
- The include line says “Parallel Fail”, which is not a usable spec
Best for: You have checked a later price and you specifically want this 165-2 model number despite the thin UK file.
Less suitable: You want the better-documented 165 mm saw, a stated brake, or a price near the rest of this set.

Common questions
Is the TE-CS 18/165-2 supplied with a battery?
No. The bullet says no Power X-Change battery or charger is in the box. The shelf price in this extract is £216.63.
What depth and bore does the 165-2 bullet state?
57 mm at 90 degrees and 39 mm at 45 degrees. The bore is 20 mm. The blade diameter is 165 mm.
Does the 165-2 listing state a motor brake?
No. Special features list soft start and overload protection, not a motor brake. A guide-rail claim is not stated. The title omits BL; the bullet writes Li BL.
Our view
The TP-CS 18/136-C Li BL Solo is a brushless body at £124.99, and the bullets state an electric motor brake, soft start, and up to 51 mm at 90 degrees on a 136 mm blade with 16 teeth. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 49 reviews, with two marked United Kingdom, and that pair does not describe a defect. A UK reviewer used a 4 Ah pack. It weighs 2.26 kg, lighter than the 165 mm bodies, and the tilt is stated up to 48 degrees, though depth at 45 degrees is not given. Bore and a guide-rail claim are not in the amazon bullets. The box is the saw, a tungsten-carbide-tipped blade, a parallel stop, and a hex key, without a battery or charger. Fifty-one millimetres will clear sheet and many floorboards, and it will not replace the 67 mm corded saw when the timber is thicker than the bullet. With only two UK-marked reviews, the brake claim rests on the bullet more than on a large UK sample.
Pros
- Bullet states an electric motor brake and soft start
- Up to 51 mm at 90 degrees, with tilt stated up to 48 degrees
- Light brushless body at 2.26 kg and £124.99
- Two UK-marked reviews, and neither describes a defect
Cons
- Only 49 reviews in total, and only two are marked United Kingdom
- 51 mm is less depth than the 165 mm and corded rows
- Bore, 45 degree depth, and a guide rail are not stated on amazon
- Solo body: the 4 Ah pack a reviewer used is not in the box
Best for: You already own a Power X-Change pack and you want a lighter saw whose bullet states a brake, within 51 mm.
Less suitable: You need more than 51 mm, a stated bore, or a larger UK review file.

Common questions
Does the 136 mm Professional saw include a battery?
No. The bullet says no Power X-Change battery or charger is in the box. A UK review used a 4 Ah pack.
What cut does the TP-CS 18/136-C state?
Up to 51 mm at 90 degrees, with a tilt of up to 48 degrees. Depth at 45 degrees is not stated. The blade is 136 mm with 16 teeth. The bore is not stated.
Does the 136 mm bullet state a brake?
Yes. It states an electric motor brake and soft start. A guide-rail claim is not stated in the bullets.
Our view
The 190 mm Einhell body is listed at £136.98, with 4.5 from 1,501 amazon.co.uk reviews, and 17 of those reviews are marked United Kingdom. The highlight states 65 mm at 90 degrees, and that depth is not repeated in the captured bullets, so you should treat 65 mm as a highlight line. The bullets call the saw TE-CS while the highlight says TP-CS, and this comparison does not resolve that name clash. It is an 18 V Solo body: the box is the saw and a blade, with no Power X-Change pack or charger. The bullet claims compatibility with Einhell guide rails, and the rail is not in the box. UK reviews in this set include early motor failures and a return, including a depth lever that would not tighten, so a brushless description is not evidence it will outlast the cheaper 165-1. A motor brake is not stated. At 3.23 kg it is one of the heavier cordless bodies here.
Pros
- Highlight states 65 mm at 90 degrees on a 190 mm blade
- 4.5 from 1,501 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Bullet claims Einhell guide-rail compatibility
- Brushless is stated, with a 24-tooth carbide blade in the box
Cons
- 65 mm is in the highlight only, and the TE-CS / TP-CS name disagrees
- UK reviews include early motor failures and a return
- Solo body at £136.98, with no battery, charger, or stated brake
- Bore and depth at 45 degrees are not stated on the amazon bullets
Best for: You already own a Power X-Change pack and you want the 190 mm body whose highlight states 65 mm.
Less suitable: You need a stated brake, a battery in the box, or a listing whose model name agrees with itself.

Common questions
Is a battery included with the Einhell 190 mm Solo?
No. The title is a body-only 18 V saw. The listing says one lithium-ion battery is required and does not put a charger in the box.
What depth does this 190 mm listing state?
65 mm at 90 degrees appears in the highlight only, not in the captured bullets. Depth at 45 degrees is not stated. The bullet does say tool-free tilt.
Does the bullet claim an Einhell guide rail?
Yes. It says the saw is compatible with all Einhell guide rails. The rail is not in the box. A motor brake is not stated in the bullets.
Our view
The TC-CS 1410 is the only 230 V saw in this comparison, at £71.95, and the bullets state 1,410 W, 67 mm at 90 degrees, 46 mm at 45 degrees, and a 30 mm bore. That shelf price is a complete tool: you plug it into the mains, and you do not buy a Power X-Change pack, which is why it is the best value here while every cordless row near the same money is still a Solo body. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 527 reviews, with four marked United Kingdom. The bullet names a splitter, which the Solo rows do not state, and a guide rail is claimed but not in the box. One UK review says the supplied blade burned the wood until it was replaced, and another says there is no side vacuum port even though a dust connection is named. It weighs 4.33 kg, the heaviest saw here, and Einhell’s UK page lists 5,500 rpm against 4,500 rpm on this amazon extract. A motor brake is not stated.
Pros
- Complete 230 V saw at £71.95, with no battery to buy
- Deepest stated cut in the set: 67 mm at 90 degrees and 46 mm at 45 degrees
- Bullet names a splitter and a 30 mm bore
- 4.5 from 527 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- Heaviest saw here at 4.33 kg, and you need a socket and a cable
- One UK review burned the wood until the supplied blade was replaced
- Another UK review found no side vacuum port
- Only four reviews are marked United Kingdom, and a brake is not stated
Best for: The cut is next to a 230 V socket and you do not already own a Power X-Change pack.
Less suitable: You are working away from a socket, or you need a stated motor brake.

Common questions
Does the TC-CS 1410 need a battery?
No. It is a 230 V corded saw stated at 1,410 W. The batteries field that says one AAAA battery is a conflict and is not the power source.
What depth and bore does the corded saw state?
67 mm at 90 degrees and 46 mm at 45 degrees. The bore is 30 mm. The blade diameter is 190 mm. The 160-tooth field is not treated as a blade specification.
Does the TC-CS 1410 bullet name a splitter?
Yes. The bullet names a splitter, and the highlight says riving knife. A guide rail is claimed and is not in the box. A motor brake is not stated.
Our view
The TE-CS 18/89 Li Solo is an 89 mm mini at £76.99, and the bullet caps the cut at 28 mm, which is sheet, parquet, or thin boards rather than a joist. amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 1,443 reviews, with 33 marked United Kingdom, the lowest star line in this set. It weighs 1.9 kg, and the box lists a carbide blade, a rip fence, and a vacuum adapter, still without a battery or charger. UK reviewers describe floorboards and cladding that stay inside that 28 mm, and they also mention a fiddly plunge clip and trigger. A UK review says the depth lock worked loose. A guide-rail claim and a motor brake are not stated. Idle speed is listed at 2,500 rpm, below the 4,200–4,500 rpm lines on the larger saws. At this price you are close to the 165-1 body, which states 54 mm.
Pros
- Stated maximum depth of 28 mm on an 89 mm carbide blade
- Lightest saw in the set at 1.9 kg
- Rip fence and vacuum adapter are listed in the box
- 4.2 from 1,443 reviews, with 33 marked United Kingdom
Cons
- 28 mm will not cut a joist or a thick worktop
- Lowest star rating in this comparison
- UK reviews mention a loose depth lock and a fiddly plunge clip
- Battery, charger, brake, and bore are not part of a complete specification here
Best for: You want a light Solo mini for floorboards, cladding, or sheet that stays inside 28 mm.
Less suitable: You are cutting joists, worktops, or anything the 28 mm bullet cannot clear.

Common questions
Is the 89 mm Einhell a full-size circular saw?
No. The bullet states a maximum depth of 28 mm and an 89 mm blade, for straight cuts in wood, panels, parquet, or boards.
Does the mini saw include a battery?
No. The bullet says the battery and charger are sold separately. The box line lists a rip fence, a vacuum adapter, and a carbide blade.
Does the 89 mm listing claim a guide rail or a brake?
Neither is stated. A guide-rail claim is not stated, and a motor brake is not stated. Depth is adjusted without tools. The bore is not stated.
How we compared
Shelf prices, stars and review counts are the amazon.co.uk listings stored for 19 October 2026. These saws were not lab-tested. The score on each row is the star rating times 20, so 4.8 is 96. A larger review count does not add points. The shared 4.6 from 3,946 on the 150 mm body and the 165-1 is one line, not two samples. The highest score is the top pick, once. Best value is the TC-CS 1410, once: at about £71.95 it is a complete 230 V saw, and every cordless row is a Solo body. The 150 mm body is the lowest shelf price, and it is not best value, because the pack is a separate purchase.
1
Amazon star line
70%The number on the row is the amazon.co.uk star rating from 19 October 2026, times 20. A 4.2 is 84 and a 4.8 is 96. The review count does not change that number. The shared 3,946 line is not counted twice. This is not a measured cutting test.
2
Complete tool
20%Used for the value award, not to rewrite the star score. A Solo body still needs a Power X-Change pack. The TC-CS 1410 at about £71.95 is the saw that plugs into 230 V without that pack. The cheaper 150 mm body does not take the award.
3
Depth and brake
10%Recorded so the star line is not read as one saw. Depth at 90 degrees and a stated motor brake decide which row fits the timber. This check does not move the stored score.

Einhell circular saw buying guide
Buy the depth and the supply before the star line. These eight amazon.co.uk listings are not one Einhell circular saw. Seven are 18 V Power X-Change bodies without a battery or a charger. The TC-CS 1410 is the 230 V saw. The score on this page is the star rating times 20, not a laboratory cut. A guide-rail bullet is not a rail in the box.
What is an Einhell circular saw?
An Einhell circular saw, in the eight amazon.co.uk listings stored for 19 October 2026, is a hand-held saw. It is not a mitre saw, a plunge saw, or a guide rail sold as the product. Seven rows are 18 V Power X-Change bodies. Einhell sells those packs separately, so a Solo price is not a complete tool. The eighth row is the TC-CS 1410, a 230 V saw stated at 1,410 W.
Best for
- DIYers who already own Power X-Change packs and will match depth and brake to the timber
- Anyone cutting next to a 230 V socket who wants 67 mm without buying a battery
Not ideal for
- A structural cut, a paid job with no dust or noise assessment, or metal
- Anyone who reads a Solo price as a saw, a battery and a charger
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Paying a Solo price and expecting a charger
Every cordless row is a body. Einhell sells Power X-Change packs separately. The TC-CS 1410 is the listing that plugs into 230 V without a pack. The 150 mm body is the lowest shelf price, and that price is still not a complete tool.
- 2
Reading 3,946 as two samples
The 150 mm listing and the 165-1 listing share one 4.6-from-3,946 line and the same review text. That count is one file. Do not add the two numbers, and do not treat the line as a verdict that belongs only to one of those saws.

Treating a guide-rail bullet as a rail in the box
Where a bullet claims an Einhell guide rail, the rail is sold separately or simply not in the box. The 89 mm, the TP-CS 18/165, the 165-2 and the 136 mm bullets do not state a rail at all. Check the bore before you buy a blade: 10 mm or 16 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm do not interchange.
What to weigh up
Depth, supply and brake
HighStart with the timber, then the supply, then the brake. The bullets state 28 mm, 48 mm, 51 mm, 54 mm, 57 mm, up to 59 mm (58 mm in the highlight), 65 mm in one highlight only, and 67 mm on the corded saw. Every cordless row is Solo. The TC-CS 1410 at about £71.95 is the complete 230 V tool, which is why it is best value while the cheaper 150 mm body is not. UK review text on the brushed 165-1 says the blade coasts. The TP-CS 18/165 and the 136 mm bullets state a brake.
Bore, marks and dust
HighA wrong bore does not fit. The 165-1 and the 165-2 state 20 mm, the 150 mm body states 10 mm or 16 mm, and the TC-CS 1410 states 30 mm. Several listings say CE. None shows UKCA or a noise figure for that saw. Great Britain may use UKCA or CE. Northern Ireland uses CE, or UKNI and CE. BS EN 62841-2-5:2014 is the hand-held circular saw standard. Do not read that name as a certificate for these ASINs.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
The blade should stop
You want the bullet that states a motor brake, and you already own a pack. The TP-CS 18/165 Li BL is the top pick at about £129.97. Only five reviews are marked United Kingdom, and the box has no battery.
A socket, and no pack
The cut is next to a 230 V socket and you do not want a separate battery. The TC-CS 1410 is best value at about £71.95, with 67 mm stated at 90 degrees and a splitter in the bullet. It weighs 4.33 kg.
Common questions about Einhell circular saws
Which Einhell circular saw is the top pick in 2026?
The top pick is the Einhell TP-CS 18/165 Li BL Solo, ASIN B0DX71B1JN, at about £129.97. It has the highest score in this set, 96, from 4.8 stars and 114 amazon.co.uk reviews on 19 October 2026. The bullet states a brushless motor, a motor brake and soft start. UK reviews say the blade stops when you release the trigger. Only five reviews are marked United Kingdom. The box has no battery. Depth is up to 59 mm in the bullet and 58 mm in the highlight.
Which Einhell circular saw is best value?
Best value is the Einhell TC-CS 1410, ASIN B08LQG8GGF, at about £71.95. It is the only 230 V saw in the set, stated at 1,410 W, with 67 mm at 90 degrees and 46 mm at 45 degrees. That price is a complete tool. Every cordless row near the same money is still a Solo body, so the pack is a separate purchase. The 150 mm body at about £61.81 is cheaper, and it is not best value for that reason. A brake is not stated.
How much does an Einhell circular saw cost on amazon.co.uk?
In this extract of 19 October 2026 the shelf prices run from about £61.81 to about £216.63. About £62 to £77 covers the 150 mm body, the corded 1,410 W saw, the 165-1 body and the 89 mm mini. About £125 to £137 covers the brushless 136 mm, 165 mm and 190 mm bodies, still without a battery. About £216.63 for the 165-2 is an outlier, not a proven premium class. Einhell’s own page has listed the 165-1 at £92.95 against about £74 on amazon.
Does the box include a battery and a charger?
No on the seven cordless rows. Each is an 18 V Power X-Change Solo body, and Einhell sells the packs separately. The TC-CS 1410 does not use a battery. It is a 230 V saw you plug in. A field that mentions an AAAA battery on that listing conflicts with the 1,410 W bullet and is not the power source. If you do not already own a pack, a body price is not the whole cost.
What depth should you match to the timber?
Use the depth at 90 degrees in the bullets. The mini states 28 mm, the 150 mm body 48 mm, the 136 mm body up to 51 mm, the 165-1 54 mm, the 165-2 57 mm, and the TP-CS 18/165 up to 59 mm, with 58 mm in the highlight. The 190 mm figure of 65 mm is in the highlight only. The TC-CS 1410 states 67 mm at 90 degrees and 46 mm at 45 degrees. The 89 mm saw will not clear a joist.
Are the 3,946 reviews two separate verdicts?
No. The TE-CS 18/150 Li and the TE-CS 18/165-1 Li show the same 4.6-from-3,946 line and the same review text. That count is one shared file, not a sample that belongs only to the 150 mm saw or only to the 165-1. Do not add the two counts together. Other rows have their own lines: 1,501 on the 190 mm body, 1,443 on the mini, 527 on the corded saw, 114 on the TP-CS 18/165, 105 on the 165-2 and 49 on the 136 mm body.
Does brushless mean the saw will outlast the 165-1?
No. Brushless on these listings is a motor description, not a life test. This comparison did not run the saws in a lab, and a larger star line is not a durability result. UK reviews of the 190 mm body include early motor failures and a return. The 165-2’s only UK-marked review is a cut-out complaint. The 10-year brushless line on Einhell’s page for the TP-CS 18/165 is after registration, and it is not an amazon bullet for every model in the set.
When should you stop and call a professional?
Stop and return the saw if it smokes, will not turn, or cuts out and then needs about half a minute before it will run. Call a professional for structural timber, for any paid job with no dust or noise assessment, and for metal. One UK reviewer cut 38 mm oak offcuts. That is not a specification. These eight listings are hand-held Einhell saws. Other cordless brands are on the cordless circular saw comparison.
Our verdict
The top pick is the Einhell TP-CS 18/165 Li BL Solo at about £129.97. It has the highest score in this set, 96, from 4.8 and 114 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullet states a motor brake, soft start and a brushless motor. Only five reviews are marked United Kingdom, the depth lines say 59 mm and 58 mm, and there is no battery in the box. Best value is the TC-CS 1410 at about £71.95. It is a complete 230 V saw with 67 mm stated at 90 degrees. The 150 mm body is cheaper, and it is not best value, because that price is still a Solo body.
