This twist-to-adjust router was the quietest in the test, and is the lowest priced. Other than that it had the most pitfalls of the lot. The soft start was jerky, the motor had a lot of vibration, and the grips were slippery. We also struggled to remove the router base and to get the bit to release from the collet. Last, the baseplate was significantly off center, and its countersunk screw holes made it impossible to adjust. We can’t recommend this router.
