Outstanding tool!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of weeks ago and am in love with how it looks and runs. It looks like top quality craftsmanship all in one tool (technically two if you count the plunge base!) Definitely a great router for its price. This was my first Bosch product that i’ve purchased for my woodworking hobby and needless to say it won’t be the last!

awesome tool
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] received mine for Christmas a few years ago, and I cannot say enough good things about this setup! Plenty of power, easy-to-use and easy to setup. Absolutely love the fact that I don't need to purchase a separate router lift to use in a router table! #tellitlikeitis

Phenomenal Router
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this router for a kitchen remodeling project. I needed to make a kitchen full of cabinet door and drawer fronts. The router adjustments are phenomenal, making the setup process a breeze. The motor had ample power allowing me to process hundreds of feet of hard maple without issue. I was so impressed with this router that I bought a second fixed base model for dedicated router table use. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great Router
Would RecommendGot this router, because my old one wasn't safe to operate any longer. I could have gone with another router that cost less, but getting this one I have the best of both. It has the power when you need it or you can slow it down when need to. I would buy this again.
Reliable
Would RecommendExtremely reliable and easy to use. The depth adjustment feature is outstanding. The plunge function is excellent and the fixed function is great for mounting to a table and leaving it attached. I highly recommend this package even for a beginner like me!

Great router
Would RecommendThe router and case are of very good quality. There are a couple design changes i would make, the on off switch is not in a good place and almost requires two people to safely operate. My only other issue is the need to buy accessories. They should include at least a vaccum hood attachment.
Quality tool
Would RecommendThis handles like a dream. I am super impressed with the control you can get with freehand work.

Fantastic
Would RecommendVery easy to use. My 12 and 14 year old kids were able to operate this (under adult supervison) to build signage for an Eagle Scout Project. The only fault we found with this router is the cheap plastic door/windo that is included to prevent wood chips from spraying out. It broke on the first use. But, I’m not sure why it is there...did t make a difference without it.

Screwed
Would Not RecommendLowes screwed me over in Nov 2020 with a router table. They now want me to recommend them. No way. Make me whole, then I might recommend you again. Until then, you send me surveys, this is what YOU get!!
