Would RecommendI gave the PR20EVS as a gift. I bought it for the Bosch name and comparing it to the other brands I considered it certainly came out on top

It's okay
Would Not RecommendI haven't used it all that much but the times I did I thought the depth adjustment was hard to position for it not to change.

Bosch Colt Router
Great little router. Plenty of power. Easy to use. My first project with this palm router was making finger (box) joints for a giant Jinga game and they turned out great for my first effort.

$50 too much. The go to palm router for years
Would RecommendPros: small & lightweight. Cons: a little underpowered/ not great visibility. Bought a cheap Bauer 1st. Had plenty of power but found it a little bulky, & didn’t trust the adjustment mechanism. I have a full size Bosch 1617? Wanted a compact one for edging. The newer more powerful model is only $10 more with a case and an edge guide, which is irritating. But side by side, the older model is considerably smaller, which is what I wanted. I’ll just have to take it easy with it.

Great Tool
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The router is nice and compact and easy to control and will not get away from you when routing a board. I used it at my previous job routing numbers in to 4x4 post for camp site numbers. Product has plenty of power for its size. I strongly recommend this product.

Awesome
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this router for just over a year now and absolutely love it! Bought this router to do some custom trim work and to soften the edge on a butcher block counter originally and worked out great and have been using it regularly on other trim/furniture projects. Very easy to use. The changing of the router bits is done effortlessly.
