Very user friendly features, I especially like the height adjustment and how easy it is to use! It was a little underpowered for some tasks but nevertheless a descent buy for the price! I’m satisfied with my buy and is very useful for working in tight corners and spigots where a regular size router is awkward! Nice compact size!

It works well enough and does a nice job. It’s a little cumbersome to remove the bit and adjust the rotor depth.

I used it to build a shelf and round the edges and I liked it very much the way it handle the wood and the round edge came out perfect. I would recommend to a friend.

I am so happy with this router, I bought it to do some simple round over’s and thought I would put it to the test, I’m cutting 3/4″ T track into plywood in one pass, I know I should be using a larger router for these tasks but this one is just so comfortable and easy to use I find myself reaching for it instead of the big ones.

Purchased this to replace an older Bosch unit..I like the variable speed . The on/off switch above the power cord will take a little getting used to. As with my Bosch changing bits requires the removal of the motor from the base , most of the time. Overall it handles well, the two base plates are nice to have, and it cuts well. A great palm router at a reasonable price
