easy handling
Would RecommendBuilding a cupola and routing multiple edges. Comparing to the old 2 hander, this was soooo easy. Power was there. Honestly expected some difficulty with handling but did not have an issue. I'm probably gonna start using it on everything. Garden stakes, decking, bird houses you name it.

Great tool for a good price
Would RecommendGreat quality tool for the price. Only issue I had is when setting the adjustments is that it would walk a little more as it was locked in place. There is a minor adjustment feature that can help correct this though.

Short life
Would Not RecommendI've owned mine for a bit now, but probably only had 5-6 hours of use and went to use this weekend and it's like it has very little power and gets hot. I confirmed no dust build up anywhere and brushed don't appear to be very worn. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'd think a tool should last.

Do not buy
Would Not RecommendI see a consistent theme here : this thing won't hold the depth that you set it at. That means that it's useless and a complete waste of money.
