The Hitachi/Metabo is good little router. It's not quite on par as far as a Dewalt DW618 or Bosch 1617 but it is close. The motor and VS work pretty much the same but the quality of the fixed and plunge bases aren't quite as good. $90 is a good price for the package that just includes the router and fixed base. This package with the fixed and plunge base usually goes on sale for around $129 so @ $89 it represent a pretty solid deal.
FWIW, I don't have either of those two problems he complains about in his video.

I own the Hitachi branded version of this router. I have been extremely satisfied with it. Love the soft start and very smooth speed control, plenty of power, plus the longer than average power cord. My Hitachi included the fixed base, plunge base, template guide kit, 1/4" and 1/2" collets with wrenches, and a hard carrying case.

Cons: I don't love the power switch location, but with the soft start it's not intolerable.

If this was available at this price in my area I would definitely pick up another for permanent mounting in my router table. 👍🏻

Web site is whacked! Can't complete checkout due to various errors being thrown on the site. Then price jumped from $89.50 for my store to $179 during checkout.

I am currently building my DIY table. I wasn't satisfied with the small size of the affordable ready-made tables, and the larger tables are just a bit more than I care to spend. Mine will be 30"x60" once it's finished. I couldn't find anything that large outside of commercial tables.

can you pay with a cc online for pickup then cancel and reorder in store for same price, using in-store credit at that time?
