AI Review Summary:
Across major retailers, buyers praise the router’s power-to-size ratio, smooth variable speed control, and excellent runtime with XC5.0 batteries. Many highlight the precise micro/macro depth adjustment and bright LEDs for trim and hinge work. Common positives include minimal vibration and clean edge results. Neutral notes mention that the dust collection is adequate but benefits from careful setup. A recurring complaint is the tool’s top-heavy feel with larger batteries and that fine-adjust knobs can be stiff when new. Representative quotes: “Cuts like a corded trim router but far more convenient,” “Depth adjustments are spot on,” and “Great tool, but a bit top heavy with the 5.0Ah pack.”
