Overview
The Milwaukee 2730-20 runs on Milwaukee's battery platform, though the specific voltage is not listed in the published specs. The saw delivers 5000 RPM and weighs 6.8 pounds. The listed cut capacity is 2 inches. No motor wattage is published for this model.
With 1,000 reviews at 4.5 stars and 50 units bought last month, the 2730-20 sits toward the lower end of recent demand in this batch. Its $219.00 price is notably higher than several competing cordless circular saws with more transparent published specs, which makes the value case harder to build without voltage and capacity confirmation.
Based on specs and verified owner reviews, the 5000 RPM output is strong for a battery-powered saw. The 6.8-pound weight is workable for extended use. Buyers should verify the exact battery platform and voltage compatibility with their existing Milwaukee tools before purchasing.
