I have a bigger version of it which is harder to maneuver around. I’m pleased with the smaller size which makes it easier to work with on my smaller projects.

Good power for size of router. Comfortable for one hand use. Out of box, depth gage tends to slip when routing but tension can be adjusted with set screw. Spindle locks in multiple positions which helps when changing bits. Bought three of these and feel that they were well worth the price.
