Best Einhell circular saw

Updated: 21 October 2026

You want one Einhell circular saw off the amazon.co.uk list, and the right row depends on the timber and on whether a Power X-Change pack is already in the house. The stored score is the star rating times 20. On that rule the TP-CS 18/165 Li BL is the top pick, and the TC-CS 1410 is the best value because £71.95 buys a complete 230 V saw. The [Einhell circular saw comparison](/hub/power-saws/einhell-circular-saw) holds the prices from 19 October 2026. Peter F. used those listings and the UK-marked reviews, and did not run a lab test.

How the score is made

Each score is the amazon.co.uk star rating multiplied by 20. A 4.8 becomes 96, a 4.6 becomes 92, a 4.5 becomes 90, and a 4.2 becomes 84. Review count does not add points. The TP-CS 18/165 Li BL Solo, B0DX71B1JN, is the top pick at 96. The 150 mm body, the 165-1, the 165-2, and the 136 mm saw sit on 92. The 190 mm body and the TC-CS 1410 sit on 90. The 89 mm mini sits on 84. It is not a measured cut. The 150 mm body and the 165-1 share one 4.6 from 3,946. Do not add those reviews. The 4.8 from 114 has five UK-marked reviews. The 165-2’s 4.6 from 105 has one UK-marked review, and it is a complaint. Best value is the complete corded saw, not the cheapest Solo body. The Einhell circular saw buying guide still decides depth, because 96 does not put a battery in a Solo box.

If you want the blade to stop

The TP-CS 18/165 Li BL at £129.97 is the saw to buy if you already own a pack and you want a 165 mm bullet that states a motor brake and soft start. Use 58 mm near the limit: the bullet says up to 59 mm and the highlight says 58 mm. UK reviews say the blade stops when you release the trigger. Five UK reviews are a thin sample, so skip the row if you have no pack. Einhell’s 10-year brushless line is after registration on its own page, and it is not an amazon bullet for every model. The TP-CS 18/136-C Li BL is the lighter brake saw, at £124.99 and 2.26 kg, with an electric brake and up to 51 mm. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 49 reviews. The two marked United Kingdom do not describe a defect. Bore and a guide rail are not in the amazon bullets, and 51 mm will not do the work of the 67 mm corded saw.

If you want the lower shelf price

The TE-CS 18/150 Li Solo at £61.81 states 48 mm, a 10 mm or 16 mm bore, and 2.34 kg. It suits boards inside 48 mm if the pack is already yours, and it is a weak buy if you still need a battery, because the corded saw is a complete tool for about £10 more. The TE-CS 18/165-1 at £74.00 states 54 mm, 35 mm at 45 degrees, and a 20 mm bore. UK text in the shared file says the blade coasts. Take it if you will wait. The TC-CS 1410 at £71.95 is the best value when the cut is next to a socket and you do not own a pack. The bullets state 1,410 W, 67 mm, 46 mm at 45 degrees, a 30 mm bore, and a splitter. It weighs 4.33 kg. One UK review says the supplied blade burned the wood until it was replaced. The supply choice is on the Einhell cordless or corded circular saw page. The 190 mm body at £136.98 sits outside this group: 65 mm is highlight-only, the model name disagrees with itself, and UK reviews include early failures.

Who should skip a row

Skip the TE-CS 18/89 Li when the cut is thicker than 28 mm. It is £76.99, 1.9 kg, and 4.2 from 1,443 reviews, with 33 marked United Kingdom. Reviewers use it on floorboards and cladding inside 28 mm, and they mention a fiddly plunge clip and a depth lock that worked loose. Keep the mini only when the timber is thin. It does not state a brake or a guide rail. Skip the TE-CS 18/165-2 at £216.63 unless you have a reason that is not on these pages. The bullets state 57 mm and 39 mm at 45 degrees. The only UK-marked review is a cut-out, then a wait of almost half a minute. The title and the bullet disagree on BL, and a brake is not stated. Setting depth, changing a blade, and stopping a smoking motor is the how to use an Einhell circular saw page.

Common questions

Which Einhell circular saw should I buy if I already own the packs?
If you want the blade to stop, the top pick is the TP-CS 18/165 Li BL at £129.97, when the timber fits about 58 mm. For a lower body price, the 165-1 at £74.00 states 54 mm if you can accept a coasting blade, and the 150 mm at £61.81 states 48 mm. A pack you already own does not rescue the £216.63 165-2.
Who should skip the 89 mm mini?
Skip it for joists, worktops, and anything over 28 mm. UK reviewers who like it are cutting floorboards and cladding inside that depth. At £76.99 you are near the 165-1, which states 54 mm. Keep the mini when the timber is thin and the weight matters.
Is 4.8 from 114 stronger than 4.6 from 3,946?
It is a higher star rating and a smaller file. The score treats 4.8 as 96 and 4.6 as 92, with no extra points for 3,946 reviews. Those 3,946 are one shared line across two listings. The 4.8 file has five UK-marked reviews. The brake saw stops, and the shared file says the 165-1 coasts.
Who is the corded TC-CS 1410 for?
It is the best value when you have a 230 V socket and no Power X-Change pack. At £71.95 you get 1,410 W, 67 mm, a splitter, and a 30 mm bore, with no battery to buy. It weighs 4.33 kg. Skip it if you are away from a socket or you need a stated brake.
Did UK reviews of the 190 mm saw report early failures?
Yes. UK-marked reviews include early motor deaths and a return, including a depth lever that would not tighten. The highlight states 65 mm and the bullets do not repeat it. The bullets say TE-CS and the highlight says TP-CS. Brushless on that row is not evidence it will outlast the brushed 165-1.
