I haven't taken the router through its entire paces, but what I have seen thus far is impressive -- smooth startup, smooth operation, instantaneous stopping of the motor when powered off, plenty of power, and great fit and finish. I bought this over the Milwaukee compact router because of DeWalt's documented longer run time and the power, which I have heard about in review after review. I haven't put a half inch straight bit or a 3/8" roundover bit and really ran it hard, but when I do, I will report back. This seems to have the power to handle it, but in the end you shouldn't try to use it for operations that a compact router is not designed to tackle.

This is another quality tool from Dewalt. It is easy to setup and use and has good power for a router this size. It works best with at least a 5H Battery.

Being a woodworker, this cordless trim router was just what I needed. Tired of dragging a cord around while trying to concentrate on what I'm routing, this DeWalt router is the way to go! Use with 5 AH battery and never had to worry about lack of power or running to the charger for more juice. Highly recommend this workhorse. No disappointments here.

This router is so nice to use because you can concentrate on your work without fighting a cord. The brushless motor is pretty easy on batteries considering the power used. The tool is so solid and well made it is a pleasure to use. The large diameter base fits my big hands well, but is larger than my old corded trim router. Some may find it unwieldy or hard to get used to. I love it and highly recommend it.

Most of my router projects do not require a full size router. This Dewalt router handles these small projects quite nicely. With a spindle lock a single wrench tightens the bit in place. The depth adjustment is quick and easy and stays where one sets it. The motor has sufficient power to handle the bits for typical project needs. (If one is using large diameter bits, a full size router would be better for more control.) Best of all is the lack of a cord.
