Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Compact and ergonomic design makes it a joy to work with. Build quality is impressive, ensuring durability and longevity. Works well for jobs that would be inconvenient for a table mounted router.

The * pr20evs router tool is an absolute gem for both professional woodworkers and diy enthusiasts. It runs well and does not get hot, and the face plate is smooth and doesn't leave scratches in my wood. High rpm’s give smooth routs without any chatte... Read More

Two features are a variable speed and micro height adjustment. The old makita router i had was a trim router where the height adjust is not critical beacuse it is designed mainly for flush trim bits. Ease of use with micro adjustments so far is good.

Quality

The build quality is impressive, ensuring durability and longevity.

This is a high quality router that won’t disappoint and would highly recommend this router!

Consistent adjustments were impossible in depth of cut.

A steel screw running in an aluminum casting that's open on one side is asking for trouble, and i'm fully expecting it to simpl... Read More

Price

The price is fair and it is as advertised!

Don’t buy the cheap $50 knockoffs… they break within 2 minutes… this bosch brand is the real deal!

A case would have been nice, but for the price, i'm content.

It still meets my general needs, and the price is good enough that i will keep it.

Shipping

Arrived on time which i needed for a project i was on.

They were very prompt in sending return instructions and fixed our router and returned promptly.

Competitiveness

Just as powerful as any other high end brand.

I bought this as a second router to complement my larger bosch router which i have mounted to a router table.

I've used quite a few other brands, but bosch is the only one i'll spend my own money on.
