Mitre saw recommendations for skirting board fitting

Can you recommend a mitre saw for cutting wooden skirting boards and architrave? I've seen some mixed reviews online and I don't want to waste my money.

"Make sure the saw you get can fit the size of the skirting on the cut and that it can reach all angles , if you only need to do it one there are plenty diy saws out there to use and most of them will do the job as long as it’s the right soze"

"Depends upon your budget. There are so many to choose from
Will it be for a one off skirting job, or will you have further use for it? If not, then take a lower priced one from B&Q or Wickes."

"The dewalt chop saw from screwfix is pretty good. The blade depth is not the biggest but should get most common skirts & archs done. It's selling for £220 at the moment."

"It all depends on the money you want to spend. I have 3 different saws all for different purposes. I’d suggest einhell is cheap but pretty decent if you zero the blade properly and is good for light work, dewalt is a bit more pricey but it’s usually well built and aimed more towards trade works"

"Dewalt is good make, but if you go to screwfix, evolution is about 100 / 125 with leg’s/ stand , and is a very good little mitre saw ."
