HOWEVER, per Jonathan Katz Moses on YouTube... you're better off buying a cheap router bit set (like this) so you have options. As you figure out what bits you use the most, replace them with higher quality bits ($20/30 per).
That way you don't drop hundreds of dollars on bits you may never use, and the most used bits for your woodworking style (straight and round over?) will be high quality and the ones you use once a year will get the job done on the occasional use.
Of course this would apply mostly to woodworkers new to routers/bits (like myself). Seems like sound advice to me.
- Some of the wood boxes/cases are totally destroyed, so buying online and picking up in person could be good call.
-The Lowes listing says Carbide-Tipped, but it does NOT say that anywhere on the actual packaging.
-The quality looks "okay" not as good as MLCS (which is made in china), but better than harbor freight... Again this is based on appearance only...
-As some one who done woodworking as a hobby for 20+ years, These are best used for composite PVC, PVC, balsa, Pine, cedar, fir, "maybe" popular; DO NOT expect these to stay sharp/cut straight/not burn the wood after 10ft of MDF, Particle board, plywood, oak, ash, birch, walnut, cherry, mahogany, maple, teak, bamboo, etc....

You have any suggestions for longer lasting ones? I got some cheap ones off Amazon that were pretty terrible and need to get a new set.
You prolly don't need an entire set. Find the bits you use the most and get those specific bits by Freud
I have an mlcs set that I started with (from amazon) and it's held up really well. I think they have decent mid grade bits.

I use Whiteside whenever I can (made in the USA). For example:
