I like everything about this router except the placement of the on and off switch…I wish it was more ergonomic to operate with one hand.

Powerful and easy to manuever. It took a while to figure out a good way to tighten the collet. Overall it does it’s job well and is significantly cheaper than the Dewalt.

Batteries last a long time and charge quickly.
Isac Lakin (verified owner) –
Definitely like the compact size and ease of use. I also like the way it lights up the work surface and the fact that it uses the same batteries as my other Makita tools.I would definitely have given it 5 stars except that the first time I used it I realized it did not have enough power to push the bit I had installed in it without tripping and needing to be reset. Ultimately I found that it works good with smaller bits but care needs to be taken to make sure the depth of the cut is done incrementally.

Has the features of a full-size router including a light and comes with a fence.
Tess Fisher (verified owner) –
Smooth and super strong for compact router. One recommendation for buyers is the base plate is very small and can slip off certain templates,,,, not a fault of product, but may want to also buy a larger base plate – I ran into this with door hinge plates.
Thomas Koss (verified owner) –
Small package great results. This things a powerhouse!
Irving Powlowski (verified owner) –
Got this to replace my corded trimmer that burned up. I was shocked at the quality of the build. Very solid but not heavy. Even with the battery on top it is still well balanced. Bit change is easy. Depth adjustment is smooth and stays. Easily the best small router I have ever used. Only weird thing is the on off button placement is not where my fingers would naturally go, but getting used to it.
