Time will tell. I haven’t had it long enough to see how long it lasts. But it seems to have a lot of power

works well, small and easy to use, unlike my powerful 120 V routers which are better but nowhere near as flexible.

Always been happy with all of my Makita tools. Batteries last and recharge is fast

Makita one of the best quality tools out there

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.

Great router. Slightly loose/sloppy depth knob, but it cinches down tight. Some may find it a little too loose for finer depth adjustments. Very nice brake on the drive. Strongly suggest adding the dust/vacuum attachment which is not included.

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.

This little guy is exactly what I needed to cut door hinge mortises. Small but powerful and a pleasure to use.

Router works great for small routing tasks. I use it daily for rounding edges for trim. No more cords getting in your way.
