10 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.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The iCircularSaw6ProMax 6-inch brushless circular saw runs on the DeWalt 20V MAX battery platform (batteries sold separately) and delivers 5,900 RPM with a 6-inch blade capacity. The brushless motor is a genuine advantage at this $55.99 price point, providing better efficiency and longer tool life compared to brushed alternatives.
At 6 inches, the blade size is suited to trim carpentry, paneling, thinner sheet goods, and anywhere a smaller footprint reduces fatigue. The body dimensions are 8.5 inches long by 6 inches wide by 16 inches high, and the alloy steel construction keeps weight reasonable. With 100 units sold per month, the saw is moving steadily despite only 10 published reviews.
The 4.4-star rating from 10 owners is encouraging but the review base is thin. Buyers considering this tool should weight the demand signal (100 monthly sales) and the brushless motor specification heavily, while recognizing that long-term reliability data is limited. It pairs well with other DeWalt 20V tools already in a kit.
Pros
- Brushless motor at a $55.99 price point, improving efficiency and longevity
- 5,900 RPM speed for clean cuts in trim, paneling, and lighter stock
- Compact 6-inch blade is easier to control for detail and finish work
- Uses DeWalt 20V MAX batteries for platform compatibility
Cons
- Only 10 reviews, so reliability data over time is very limited
- 6-inch capacity cannot replace a 7.25-inch saw for framing and heavy ripping
- Battery not included in the box

What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
Does this include a battery and charger?
No. The saw is compatible with DeWalt 20V MAX batteries but neither the battery nor the charger is included.
Why choose a 6-inch blade over the standard 7.25-inch?
A 6-inch blade produces a smaller, lighter saw that is easier to handle on trim work, paneling, and thinner materials. For cutting 2x4 framing lumber, a 7.25-inch saw offers more depth capacity.
