    Which wet cutter to buy?

    Anybody used rubi nd180 smart ? Just bought the wet cutter from tile giant but i hate it! It was only about £80 as it was a show cutter. Water gets absolutely everywhere unlike any other cutters I’ve used previously and also doesn’t leave such a good edge. Any recommendations? Thanks
