Best router as far as features .. Bosch 1619EVS.
Most ballanced routers (the best) ... DeWalt DW625 and Fein RT1800.
Good router ...Hitachi M12V
But, If they don't feel good in your hand then ...............

The best router means different things to different people. For value it is hard to beat the $110 Craftsman combo kit. Bosch is top rated in most comparison testing, both the 2-1/4 HP 1617 and the 3-1/4 HP 1619 are excellent choices. Features differ between brands, more in the way the controls work than anything else. Find a router that is comfortable in your hands and you will be happy.

Hey Craftsman Sears brand tools are are ok, but for just $199.00 you can get a multible speed dual set plunge , or stable (monting to table also) vacuum atatchment, colletts either 1/4" or 1/2", and comes with a LIFE TIME PARTS AND SERVICE WARANTY! Look at the RIGID BRAND ROUTER, its sold at Home depot for just $199.00 and comes with the stuff you need!

Actually, I bought a RONA dual kit (plunge and fixed) 1/2" collet, variable speed, soft start for $99 the other night. Now, I can really make firewood and sawdust!!
