131 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The DEWALT DCS375B is built for portability first. At 6.45 pounds it is by far the lightest band saw in this batch, significantly lighter than the DCS374B at 12.4 pounds. The 4-inch cutting capacity is smaller, which narrows the material range but also keeps the tool compact for confined-space and overhead work.
The tool runs on battery power and shares the DEWALT cordless ecosystem. The listing does not specify a voltage (the data shows 120, which may be an error in the source listing), so buyers should confirm the battery platform from the full product page. Metal construction is noted in the specs.
At $222, the DCS375B is priced lower than both the DCS374B and the Milwaukee T28580 in this group. However, with 131 reviews and zero recorded monthly purchases in this data snapshot, it has a lower volume of buyer feedback than the DCS374B. The 4.4-star rating is solid for the limited review count.
Pros

- Metal construction noted in specs
Cons
- 4-inch cutting capacity is the smallest in this band saw group, limiting material range
- Zero recorded monthly purchases reduces buyer confidence at the time of data capture
- 131 reviews is a smaller sample than higher-demand band saws for reliability assessment

Performance notes
Battery powered, metal construction, 4-inch cutting capacity, 6.45 pounds. No blade speed or motor wattage is published in the listing data. The listed voltage figure of 120 may be a data error; buyers should confirm the battery voltage and platform (likely DEWALT 20V MAX) from the retailer or DEWALT product page. The extremely light weight at 6.45 pounds is the defining performance characteristic.
What buyers say
Owners who reviewed the DCS375B appreciate the compact form factor and weight reduction compared to larger portable band saws. The main feedback theme is suitability for confined spaces and overhead cuts where a heavier tool becomes impractical. The smaller cutting capacity is viewed as an acceptable tradeoff by owners who selected this model specifically for that use case.
