How to choose an electric jigsaw?Basics of choosing a jigsaw and selecting a saw blade for effective processing of wood, metal and drywall
Model overview based on user reviews  
The Makita JV0600K electric jigsaw is appreciated for its affordable price and brand quality, making it a reliable choice compared to other brands like Bosch. It features a solid stem and comes with a case, although some users note the absence of backlighting and a non-perpendicular cut to the material's plane. The jigsaw is powerful and performs well on various materials, but users suggest that using higher quality saw blades might improve cutting precision. While it lacks a soft start and is somewhat noisy, the jigsaw's keyless blade change and pendulum action are appreciated. Overall, it is considered a good tool for its price, especially for those familiar with Makita products.

Chinese jigsaws don't cut well, or Makita or Bosch
24 November 2013 
I recently bought it and haven’t tried it in practice yet, but I have something to share. The closest competitor of the Makita JV0600K is the Bosch JB 90, the Bosch roller slot is larger so the file moves more to the sides, but a special transparent plastic attachment solves this drawback. The Makita JV0600K does not have such a transparent plastic attachment for a file or a plastic bottom to prevent scratches in the kit, but they are on the Makita 4350 ST and are suitable for this jigsaw, you can order them from the official. dealer in the region. There are nozzles for vacuum cleaners in both models, but they are not suitable for vacuum cleaners; in the Bosha, an additive to the nozzle must be purchased separately in order to connect it to the vacuum cleaner, but in the Makita it is not at all (you have to make an adapter yourself). There is less idle vibration in the Boche and also less noise. With Bosch, like other jigsaws, the roller moves due to the movement of the file to the side during a pendulum stroke, with Makita the file moves smoothly and the pendulum stroke is carried out due to the movement of the roller itself (that is, it does not twist the file). There is no backlight or laser on both((. Bosch JB 90 is made in Russia, Makita JV0600K is made in the UK. 3 year warranty from the manufacturer.
Low price, cuts unlike Chinese consumer goods
For that kind of money, the quality of the cut should be at the level of a circular saw, but this is not the case.

Tried the jigsaw at work. Cut: plastic windowsill, pine thickness 40mm, laminated chipboard 18mm, used saw blades from Bosch, clean wood series. In all cases, the cut was not perpendicular to the plane of the material being cut. Maximum speed, pendulum at zero. This is a bit disappointing; perhaps choosing higher quality and "correct" saw blades will improve the situation. You can make LED lighting yourself; there is room to fit it, and there are plenty of LED lighting schemes on the internet. It cuts well on radius, with experience, and without a guide it's still straight. In principle, for such a device, it's normal.

the Bosch has a soft start, the Makita does not. The clamped saw sits much better in the Makita compared to the Bosch. Having a case is a nice touch, though not mandatory. When examining both of these jigsaws in the store, the seller struggled to put the transparent protective glass back on the Bosch; it doesn't fix very well. My opinion is that the Makita is better, so I went with it. We'll see how it performs in work. For the record, I mainly use Makita; I have 8 woodworking tools in my arsenal - no complaints about the brand.
