Walter White (verified owner) –
Small package great results. This things a powerhouse!
Queenie Ullrich (verified owner) –
Smooth, light and compact. A bit slow to stop spinning once turned off but not slow enough to be a problem. Used it even to trim pressure treated boards without any issues.

For what I’ve used this product for I’m very satisfied!

Max power
Foster Treutel (verified owner) –
It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.
Adonis Steuber (verified owner) –
More power than I expected , not too hard on batteries
Kyra Morar (verified owner) –
Good router. Cuts well . I recommend it
Lee Schaden (verified owner) –
This is my husband’s favorite drill. I bought him the 5.0Ah battery and he loves the extended time, not having to stop to charge it is a game changer.
Madeline Jacobson (verified owner) –
Very impressed with this battery’s runtime and power!
Ali Mayer (verified owner) –
Tool works well as do all Makita tools I have.I have not used it enough I’m sure, but I did not find accurate depth adjust easy. Also, I bought the plunge base and found very little info on how to use it, the base came with no instructions and the tool manual had minimum description. There were not a manual on their website. I contacted Makita, spoke with a repair person about a manual for the base. He emailed me a PDF with full instructions.

Needs to improve a bit more
Nedra Herzog (verified owner) –
Works so great worth the money
Frida Mayer (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.
Maria Hodkiewicz (verified owner) –
Works great very convenient to use
Deonte Jones (verified owner) –
This is my favorite cordless router in its class. This has nice power and paired with Makita’s 5 amp/hr batteries, it lasts a long time. This router is compact, and nicely featured. Do not buy this thinking you are getting the same power as a full-size corded model. Its a great little router, but be realistic in your expectations. It works well for me with aluminum lowers.

I have been looking for a dependable cordless router for some time. After using this router to route 3/8” x 1/2” deep on numerous 2×4 material it withstood the test so I purchased another one! Battery life lasts about 3-8’ boards but having extra batteries was a plus
