Strong, robust, well made saw, put in the right blade for the job at hand and it cuts through cleanly. Recommended. The Parkside has only done about 30 minutes of work, but conked out in the middle of a cut 22/10/12. The original blade is still as sharp as a razor. However, now that I have experienced what I can only regard as a premature breakdown, I am having to re-assess just how wise it is to invest in tools that have little or no after sales service support.
Parkside Jigsaw Variable Speed 730W New In Case never been used have plugged in to mains to test and works fine, also a powerful machine with spare blade and parallel guide.

The only amusing thing about this situation is what it says in the Parkside instruction booklet. "Insure that the machine is only repaired by qualified persons". And "The guarantee will be invalidated if non genuine parts have been used for repairs". I wish it were possible to rotate the head of the unit by 90 degrees instead of having to hold it at an angle. Also, having a speed control that can be pre-set instead of having a variable one built into the trigger would make my job easier.

Phone calls to the Parkside 'service' line were very unfruitful. From the conversation with this service line, it transpired that they only deal with tools less than three years old. In such situation a full replacement is always offered. With my 'old' but new looking jigsaw in need of some technical attention I would be very interested to know the name of any nearby workshop that would undertake the repair of any Parkside tool.
I bought one of these from Lidl along with 2 x 2 amp batteries, charger and spare blades and so far I’m really impressed with it. I needed something to clear fallen trees and branches from paths in a local wood where we walk our dogs every day. There’s no point asking the local council to clear them because they don’t have the resources so I usually undertake these tasks on my own as do other like minded and responsible walkers. The saw is powerful enough to cut most thing to a diameter of a 100 mm easy, it starts to slow a bit with bigger longer blades. This saw makes light work of sawing through dead trees up to a certain size and the 2 amp batteries seem to last long enough to clear a good few fallen trees and branches that have become obstacles along the woodland paths before they run out of juice.
