I bought this because I work with boiled wool and upholstery fabric and my scissors and manual rotary cutter get destroyed VERY often and my hands get cramped after going through all the fabric. After doing some research I decided to get one of these and I couldn't be happier.It is true that is on the heavy side, and there is a bit of a kick back when you turn it on - but other than that I think it is a great tool to own if you need to cut a lot of fabric.The only downside I could find is that there is no security lock - maybe there is, but the manual has been google translated from Chinese so it makes little to no sense- so you need to be careful when you pick it up and when you put it aside. But I guess you need to do that with any power tool.Great purchase overall.
