some of the reviews say that the slide sticks and is some times hard to push. For you five and four stars reviews, is this true????

I cut mostly 2x4's but I have also cut 4x4,s and even 1x12's and I have not had the problem described at all. I love the way this saw works. If it sticks, it seems that it would be either a cleaning problem.

Slides on mine were completely smooth out of the box. I've used saws with sticky, crunchy, grabby slides, and I was concerned after reading reports of problems. Maybe I just got lucky, but mine is perfect.

The unit I received works great and I have yet to experience any issues with the slides on this saw. Keep in mind, that disinformation, whether it be to promote or to slander a product is very commonplace these days.

The only time mine was a bit stiff was when I used it in -14F weather outside here in Minnesota. As soon as it warmed up it was smooth again. I do wipe mine down with a shop towel damp with WD40, then followed by a dry rag to remove the oil residue. This is just to keep it clean, not because of issues.

Slide has always been smooth for me. The sawdust can cake up on the joints so I suppose I can see the possibility....but not if it's (a) aligned properly at the outset and (b) cleaned occasionally.

There is a screw on the slides that allows you to lock the slides in place, I think the folks having trouble with the slides have not made certain that this screw is all the way loose. Mine was not and the slide was a bit stiff. Once I loosened the screw....smooth as glass!!

I agree that the slide action is less than perfectly smooth but I think it's a great saw in most other aspects and don't see the slide action as a problem. I really don't know why DeWalt has this issue but it doesn't affect my use of the saw. The ability to cut WIDE material is a great trade off. If you're cutting 2x4, 2x6 or moldings, the slide isn't used anyway. Also, after using the saw for a while you probably won't notice the slide action.The shadow light is also less than "perfect" but once you get used to using that you can literally split a pencil line with the blade. I think it's a great tool. I agree that the slide action is less than perfectly smooth but I think it's a great saw in most other aspects and don't see the slide action as a problem.

I bought the toy for my granddaughter and I asked my daughter about it and she says she had to really push on it hard. The same song usually plays. It wasn't a great purchase for me but my 9 month old grand daughter really likes it just the way it is.

Follow along with, probably. Enjoy, less likely I'd say. The game revolves around moving pieces around a table using cardboard templates. Moving the pieces requires some level of precision/patience to make sure you don't bump it out of place. Especially if playing on a slippery surface. Also be aware a 3' by 3' playing area is recommended.

I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question. However, I must admit that I'm not sure I would buy this toy for my 4 year old son again. It's difficult for it to transform. My husband has to do it ever time. And it doesn't really move on it's own. Just says things every now and then. And they are somewhat difficult to turn off. If you have any of the other Switch N Go Dinos - in comparison, this one fails. It's much more flimsy, etc. I know it's a spendy purchase. My son wanted Jagger too, but I convinced him to go a different route. He just doesn't play with it all that often.

It will be fine. This is a very sturdy, well built product. Be sure to anchor the slide well.

The slide can easily hold the weight of any child that I've ever seen. I mean child in a very broad sense. For example, it would even hold the weight of a heavy middle-schooler with ease.

I had problems getting mine to slide up. It was a struggle. Once I got it opened, it did click.

It's not a very long slide. They may have to give themselves a little boost to get down because of the material it's not real slippery. My little ones enjoy trying to climb up.

In my experience it has been very stable. My 3yo and 18mo have had this since Christmas. It is in their playroom and they have been in/on it every day. I have been impressed with how much they use and enjoy it.It has a very wide base - it's basically a big square with a small slide.

No the plate isn't hard to push. I purchased several of these for my daughters 5th birthday spa party. The girls were ages 4 through 8, and none of them had an issue with pressing down on the plate.

My son just turned 2 and he loves it! He's been using it for about 6 months or so and has done really well with it. He only recently started using the slide without our help

It takes less than 4 pounds to move my slide. That is with an electronic kitchen scale. If the clamp is fully released there really is not much that could cause the slide to be difficult to move if the outboard end is not dragging on the table. The slide is restrained within the "V" section of the side and the plastic "L" shape on the bottom. I don't see an adjustment in the guides.

I have never done a slide before so I really can't answer the question. However, this board is a bit heavier than my friend's 44 inch atom board tho. I guess if you change the wheels to wheels that you know can slide, then do so. Sorry If this doesn't help

Yes. Particularly the ball pit part. The slide works best wet though, in my opinion.

You can't push real hard or high, if you do the front legs come up. Also its hard to adjust the seat height and get it even. We used it for awhile and it was nice for rainy days when we couldn't get to the park. But my son out grew it pretty fast. If you have any other questions let me know.

Yes, I tried it out... I'd put it in at about a 7 or an 8, on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the best). It was pretty cool, and I was impressed, but I was not totally blown away. I think they really need to show more eye-popping content in the demo. For instance, there's a part in the demo where the cartoon character is bouncing a ball on the paddle, and the ball comes right out at you, and it feels like the ball is going to hit you in the face. They need to show more content like that. The 3D quality is definitely not comparable to what you'd see in a theater, but I do think the potential is there... Hope this helps!

For a fully functional male adult, no.But for my 6 year old nephew, he couldn't come close. (was just letting him target practice under supervision)It takes a decent amount of force, but should be no issue for a teen and up. Cocking the slide over and over again doesn't tire me out at all.
