Between vitrex 900, rubi DU200, plasplug master or the vitrex 750. Can you please tell me the pros and cons of these cutters.

I've never used a vitrex 900 or a rubi du200 so I can't comment but I have had a few Plasplug Master Tilers and I have a Vitrex 750.

The problem with the older plas plug master tilers was they were a bit hit and miss regarding their spindles. the blade could wobble and effect your cuts if you were not careful.

The Vitrex 750 seems a bit more robust and a bit more accurate(or at least the ones i've had are). For the money they are great and I'd go for one over the Plasplugs but they are very similar really, so there's not much between them.

One of my favorite little cutters is the Briccolina

The du200 is a little flimsy and is very light compared to the vitrex. The vitrex is far better but weighs a ton. What are you planning on using it for?

For cutting tiles dummy :drool5: na but all jokes aside, its for cutting ceramic and porcelain tiles, its all I seem to be laying and all I have is a plasplug small version. It does the job but its a nightmare cutting larger tiles. I used to own a dewalt but it was stole on me and can't really afford a new or 2nd hand one.

I have the vitrex 750, had it about 4 years and it's still going strong. Cuts anything you throw at it. Would rate it way above the plasplugs had a couple of those and they usually give up the ghost after about 12 months.
The best blades to get for the vitrex are the fine cut as the standard one that comes with end tends to chip porcelain, bit more expensive but worth investing in..

I'd go for the du200 then as the vitrex is so big and awkward to use on domestic worm you would give up after the first use. I think it weighs around 50kgs well the 1 I had did.

50kg for a tile cutter! Crazy

That was the reason I sold it and bought the du200. It's a good cutter for small use but struggles on large stone
