I would compare, in terms of capabilities, with a wired unit for 700-800 watts, which has never changed brushes)) In general, for "domestic" use (dacha-garage-own home), it is definitely recommended. I want to add that soft start is a very useful crap, the probability of an accidental kickback is reduced to almost zero. And a few more words about the protective cover. It is installed and removed not as it is written in the instructions. It is necessary to turn the casing so that the protrusions on it coincide with the cutouts on the body - there is only one such position. It's easy to guess, but for a while you look like a monkey and glasses))
