Personal Experience:
I have owned my Dewalt Wet Saw for 5 years now and have made over 3 million cuts with this saw and moved it to over 600 jobs. This saw still cuts straight, all the options such as mitering at 45 degrees, 22.5 degrees, the plunge cut, etc. all remain accurate and very usable. Although a little dirty and used it still operates like new. I have comprised a list of pros and cons for your review.

 

Pros Cons
Fairly light weight trays are light and could blow out of the truck if not loaded correctly
has many options tray extension clips are delicate and will break if not careful
cuts larger tiles blade is difficult to change if not familiar
accurate cutting when the cutting tray extension is attached the tile doesn’t sit completely flat causing it to chip at the end of the cut
blade lock helps unbolting the blade easily water pan plug is in the front of the saw so you cant hang the back of the saw off of concrete and just drain in grass
many of the parts are lightweight too many smaller parts to keep track of. Most get lost or misplaced over time
rubber apron catches spray from blade
water trays collect water well
