So far product is great. Main reason for buying this item was to eliminate the chances of cutting a cord during quick repetitive passes. I already had batteries, so Makita was the obvious choice and it is performing very well.

Excellent tool, the only problem is: understanding it’s only the tool , but at least you should including the dust bag. Other then that the tool itself excellent.

I read lots of reviews before buying this kit and I could not be happier with my choice. This little router is a beast. Using a full round bit I did 20 feet on the corner of 3/4 ” maple plywood. I could move the router as fast as I wanted, no sign of a power lag, absolutely love this router.

Really like this cordless version! It is a bit heavier then the corded version but the well worth the weight difference to have the freedom to roam around the job site with no cord attached. Once I was able to manipulate the safety and the trigger at the same time while holding it sidewise for planning off cabinet scribe it was awesome! Not near as “dirty ” as the corded version, meaning it doesn’t throw the shavings as far around the room as my old one. And fits in my old corded version plastic case as well!

this router works flawlessly. Battery lasts for a full day, plus, and charging time is quick enough that you only need the two that are supplied with the kit. In fact, I use the second battery for my Makita hand planner, and both work great.

I bought this unit as a replacement for an older, corded router. This router is compact, strong, and feels great in your hand.Another benefit of this kit is getting 2 5.0 batteries, that will work with all my other Makitas.Great products

Professional grade tool! I bought the ryobi cordless planer on the first go around. The ryobi had a couple things break on it and it was not very precision. I returned the ryobi and ordered the makita. It was worth the extra money! The makita is quiter, built more durable, and feels good in your hand. The makita does not come with a dust bag. But the ryobi did. After the ryobi dust bag got cut up by the blade I see why makita does not provide one. You can purchase a dust bag for the makita but I recommend using a dust collector if anything. Personally I don’t use anything on mine.
