I like mine even though it hasn't been used a lot. I would recommend it because it's easy to store and use.
It's the 36volt version as I didn't want low RPMs.

I use mine almost daily, great little saw, good battery life, very manageable. Overall a really good saw, and I would buy another without hesitation.
The only quibbles I have, no laser or worklight, although I’ve now added an inertia type laser, and it’s improved using the saw greatly. Also, remember to swivel the sub fence out of the way, when bevel cutting.
I forgot recently, and had to buy a new sub fence and blade [blink]

If I'm not wrong that saw works only with 2 batteries? Does it comes with a dual charger or you need two sets of batteries?

That’s correct Mario, it’s an 18 volt x 2, 36 volt. You must use two batteries to operate it but, they can be various ampage and of different levels of charge. They just need to both be 18 volt.
In the UK, they are sold with chargers and batteries, or as a bare unit.
I have a lot of cordless Makita, including some in the 36 volt range. We have around 40 batteries and a lot of single and twin port chargers, so I bought my saw as a bare unit.
I recently tried the 10” version of the saw, and was trully amazed at it’s cutting power.
