    I work for a hardware store, and I want to give you some insight on how I choose what to buy. It’s all about what needs the most repairs. If you call your local repair shop, they’ll happily tell you horror stories about brands that don’t hold up, and why. Editing to add that you should find out what the repair process is like, because some brands have specific requirements when you’re getting repairs… like licensed repair shops only. I don’t know a whole lot about the brands that make bandsaws, but to get a warrantied repair done for some major power tool brands, you need to go to an approved shop. I hope that makes sense.

    Other than that, I think the comments hit the salient points - buy something that fits your workshop, and has the power to do what you’re going to be doing.
