Amazon states that this Makita hand-held circular saw is a bit older and also puts out a newer model, but it’s not that cheap. The ratings for this Makita hand-held circular saw are mostly good, although some reviewers also let it be known that this is more of an entry-level model that goes through thick boards like butter, but is a bit fiddly to adjust. Overall, you are guaranteed to make a better cut with this model than with the 40 euro device from Aldi.
