I have a Milwaukee in a SWAG table, I use that thing a lot.
Probably posted this before but when I first got the Swag table I wasn't that impressed. Then one of the shop guys put a different blade on it and it was night and day difference, big improvement. Mine is set up with the HF band saw and I was using the blade that came with it.
I need to source some new blades for my HF bandsaw, both blades I have stripped the teeth off at the weld
I've been using Lenox brand with decent results.
I"m still burning through my three-pack of harbor freight bandsaw blades. I bought hercules deep cut saw, the hercules table / convertible vertical bandsaw thing. So far I have been impressed. For the money it has been performing quite well. I've since read about the cheese the blades are made of so that'll be the last pack of cheapo blades I buy for this thing, but otherwise it's a great tool setup.
I had to borrow a hedge trimmer a couple weeks ago for my tree. Thought, I should get one. Started pulling crabgrass and weeds in my backyard and thought, man I need a weedeater. Checked on Homo Depo and they had some sweet milwaukee deals.
Got this quick-lock string trimmer 8.0 battery combo with a free additional attatchment. (I picked the hedge trimmer).
I just got done kicking the backyards ass!
I was fricking carrying that thing around so proud it may as well been a barrett .50 lol!

I got the trimmer last summer, it works great.
I love my weedeater. I have the pole saw attachment and extension. So great trimming these old trees around here.
I see no reason for me to ever own a two stroke engine again... Unless I get really drunk and 353 swap the Jeep.
Whatever the ratings are for battery powered lawn mowers that have a self-propelled mode, cut the area in half. If you are in good enough shape and enjoy the exercise you can push it yourself and they will cut a half acre easily enough. If you use that self-propelled feature though, those batteries drain FAST!
Granted, my experience is only with the Kobalt 80V using two 4AH batteries. I ran that thing for an entire year cutting our half acre of grass and pushing it myself. Actually half an acre of grass, not the size of our whole lot. Otherwise i'd have to cut the front and back yards separately and charge the batteries in between so I could use the drive mode.
In any case, be weary of the marketing when they say it will cut however large an area, they probably mean WITHOUT using the drive motor.

A lot of the reviews talk about this. I recently bought an electric mower however it's a simple push model to handle lawn that's about 40'x40'.
What is the light?
I buy Milwaukee blades in a 25 pack off of Amazon. Cutting stainless goes through them fast. Cutting mild steel they cut a lot.
Every brad I have bought seems to have teeth fail at the weld.
I run the milwaukee blades too. I just wish someone made an adjustable guide to minimize blade walk.
I have thought the same thing. But I realize that these saws were developed for rough cuts in the field. Not really precision units. I have had my Milwaukee for 10 years without issue. Use it a minimum of 3 times a week.
I'm just surprised that a solution hasn't been offered since the swag table was introduced. If I need a precise cut I use the horizontal bandsaw however I would use the swag table with the miter gauge more often if it was accurate.
I've replaced the guide bearings and support with the Milwaukee parts kit, mainly because I had a friend come and cut curves on it, that quickly spreads the bearings and its not straight again when you twist the blade, he broke two blades doing that too 
. Its back to straight now.
