I have used similar tile cutters in the past with mixed results. I was impressed by the size, weight and overall feel of quality with this cutter. I was using it to cut backsplash subway tiles and it worked perfectly. The blade scores nice and crisply and the snap of the tile is perfect. This was a very good value and I can recommend it for wall tile and possibly larger tiles, but I haven't tested it on floor tiles yet.

Skeptical some reviews said it didn’t cut well, but got it anyways. It worked great for my tile job, first timer so I didn’t want to spend a bunch on the tools and this was priced great.I would say you just need to be consistent with the pressure, and make sure to keep it in place so if you have to go over twice it will hit the same line. Of course use some sandpaper of some sort to lighting smooth the cut edges. It does not work well for cuts needed around outlets as you can see in the photo, need an angle grinder for it. I tried 4 times to cut out a square, bad idea lol. But This does what it needs to, highly recommend.

Definitely works and cuts the tiles. Great value for money . Cannot do small cuts like 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch cuts . Also straight cut can be tricky, I never got a straight cut but was able fo get basic cuts I needed for my project.

This is a perfectly adequate consumer tool for straight cutting tile.Where are the details needed to make a simple cut? Instructions are desperately needed and I am not a "tile-guy." After ruining many pieces and getting very frustrated, I took a break and came back again... several times. Once I figured it out it went smoothly and quickly.I learned:1. Won't cut stone or marble.2. Must cut off 1" of "drop." (Cutting a 6" ceramic tile, the cut must be 1" to 5", no 1/2" or 5 1/2".3. Breaking is a steady slow light pressure, not a "death-grip" squeeze. I could not find this tacit knowledge anywhere: Squeeze moderately and hold for a few seconds. (I am not a pro.) Hold the light squeeze up to 5 seconds. If no break, stop, breathe, and try again with just a little more pressure. Hold the pressure and the tile will break itself.4. Expect to ruin quite a few tiles teaching yourself how to cut. Be patient and develop the feel of how lightly to press based upon material type and thickness.5. The product is cheaply built but plenty adequate to redo your own kicthen and bath.6. Product worn out when the metal ridge (in the base) you are pressing against is flattened out... from squeezing the braking handle TO HARD.7. Straight cuts only.8. Position of breaking foot less important than light consistent pressure.9. Buy this big cutter, not littler ones.10. Use the provided 90* guide.11. Score tile 1 time only.12. Read reviews. I cut ceramic tile.

I ordered this but didn't use it until 1year later and when I opened it was broken . The end has a plastic cap that holds the bars in place and one side was broken so the bar comes out when sliding it to cut but other than that it work nicely. (it's my fault I didn't examine it upon delivery ) for that I gave it 3 stars instead of 5

I tried to use this but the stop is not 90 degrees to the base and you can not adjust the stop. Also, there is a lot of slop in the guide rods which also might keep you from making a straight cut. on a 12" tile against the stop, my line moved over relative to the edge of the tile up to 5/16" from the start to finish.I have laid a few houses worth of kitchens, baths and patios. I have used a nice breaker before and had no issues. I'm going back to using a wet tile saw even though the blade kerf takes some width out of a half tile because this thing is just a waste of metal so you can waste your tile. DO NOT BUY.

I decided to try this in order to do a mosaic (glass and ceramic combo) backsplash. I own and have always used a contractor-grade wet tilesaw, but I really didn't feel like digging it out of the garage and setting it up outside in the dead of winter for a backsplash. At the same time I ordered this product, I made a reservation at my local tool-rental shop because I was guessing this tool wouldn't cut the mustard, let alone the tile. I tried it out on an old leftover floor tile, and to my amazement after a quick score the tile snapped very cleanly on the line. I tried it three more time: three more very clean cuts. I moved on to the glass/ceramic mosiac, and within 15 minutes I had all of my cuts made for the backsplash. Couldn't be happier.Now, a couple caveats: 1. I don't expect this tool to last forever, but at its price point that shouldn't be a consideration. I love Milwaukie, DeWalt, Klein, Snap-On. This isn't one of those tools. But I got one job out of it, and I would imagine I could get another 10 jobs out of it before having to replace it. I can live with this.2. Assembly was really poor from the factory. Nearly all the fasteners were loose, and two had fallen off. Upon opening the packaging I was *extremely* dismayed about this, and sure the thing wasn't going to work. Don't give up if your tool arrives poorly assembled, just snug everything up and and it'll work.Five stars when price is considering price. Four otherwise.

Only had a few tiles to cut so I bought the least expensive tile cutter. Watched a few videos first to make sure I understood how to use the contraption, then practiced once on a spare tile. I'm using the cheapest white 3x6 tiles from Home Depot that cost about 15 cents each and this cut clean with a nice, satisfying snap. Not sure how it would hold up over a large flooring job but can't see why it wouldn't. It feels solid and has a nice heft to it.No problems at all and worked well.

This is a very good tile cutter for the price. It make fine precise breaks and is easy to use. It is large enough to cut tiles that are a little oversize like the 13 x 13 tiles. I highly recommend it.

I did a kitchen backsplash and a bathroom shower with this and had no problems, and it cut and snapped tiles as well as something that would cost much more. I'm very pleased with this.
