What's the quality like for something like this? I currently run Milwaukee but these ryobi deals are tempting for tools I won't use often.
I used this exact model to do some round over and ogee finish on 3/4" rock maple. Worked like a charm. Use sharp bits, let the bit do the work and you shouldn't have a problem.

I posted a comment about this router in another thread: https://slickdeals.net/f/15367843-ryobi-18v-router-49-w-o-battery-and-99-with-battery-charger?p=150680911#post150680911

Short version: I have 2 corded routers and I bought this strictly for trim work. It turned out to be so useful, I ended up using it the most. It is so easy to grab it and chamfer or round over a work piece. As a router, it works fine with high quality bits like Whiteside, even without speed control. It's downside is ergonomics. Due to its battery form factor, it is not round-shaped like most trim routers. You can only hold it one way and the power button is awkward to reach when the router is on. It also lacks brake. So you either have to hold it until the bit stops or set it upside down and wait for the bit to stop. I am never comfortable with either situation.

I just picked up the Dewalt cordless router for $99 after the battery hack. I don't think the Dewait works better than Ryobi strictly as a trim router, but it is safer (with electronic brake) and more enjoyable to operate.

Bottom line: if you are going to use a trim router a lot, you should include ergonomics in the buying decision. Otherwise, it is fine to put up with the Ryobi and save a few bucks to spend on quality bits.

The router base plate is really small for how top heavy it is. It works fine, just gotta make sure it sits true.

Seems like we have seen this deal a few times this month. What's new now?
Yes, I remember posting it a few weeks ago. Got mine, but haven't used it yet.

Any good deal on router bits, anyone?

Thanks

What's the "battery hack", please?

Ye, fine for the quick job. This is good for the price. In these small routers. I have 2 Makita electrics and this one Ryobi cordless. In my shop just to lazy to change bits half the time. And readjust if back and forth with a bit.

Did not expect much. But had wanted to try a cordless one. And the Makita was 3x the price at the time. Works good for quick jobs. My other cordless tools are Makita. So for this I just use a battery adaptor to use Makita batteries.

Looks and feels a bit cheap but does the job, just move just a little slower. I would say it would be worth it for a makita is only 30 to 40 more. But not more than that.

Also to add. Just noticed another slick deal at https://slickdeals.net/f/15243268-makita-rt0701c-1-1-4-hp-compact-router-power-laminate-trimmers-amazon-com-73-34?v=1&src=SiteSearch

For the electric Makita at 73.00. Unless you have to have cordless. This is clearly worth the extra 24.00 compared to this Ryobi. More power, better built and easier to hold without the battery.

If you are already in the Dewalt battery system, Fasteners Inc. will have the cordless router bare tool for $99 in the black Friday ad. It can be found elsewhere on SD.

Like others said - it works great for casual work and is super convenient, but will not take the place of a fullsize router if you're doing real work.

I wanted the Milwaukee, but no way could I justify the $$. The Ryobi is perfect for my harry-homeowner projects. It could be better, but it's sure as hell good enough for $50

I have yet to get used to the power switch. Think it's just my lack of using it regularly

I have this and it works fine for the little things I've done. The problem is there are no accessories for it. You can't get a plunge base that will fit it. I wish I'd saved up for a Bosch trim router.

It used to be $69 with a 1/4 sheet sander and glue gun in a bundle with this. This is not a hot deal.

I am fairly new to routers and have only borrowed one to use a couple times. Can anyone comment on bits for this? Are they interchangeable? Are there cheaper ones to buy that are not "Ryobi" and work well with it? Seems like the cost is in the bits. Thanks.
