Great deal
I bought this for occassional use on woodworking hobby projects. After researching new routers, I found the price on this too good to pass up. It arrived much faster than I expected it to, in great condition. I can’t even tell if it was used even once. All parts were included, as was the manual.
Update (2/4/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Not too acurate
I ordered this router to cut different joints etc. The plunge depth adjustment does not allow for repeatable accuracy. Also, the router motor can be flexed in the base attachment, resulting in inaccurate cuts. The router arrived in a box without any type of padding material. It was fine, but that’s just not a good way to ship a tool.
Another little feature I personally don’t like is that the base is not round. It has part of the circular section cut off, probably for use with a guide edge of some sort. This hasn’t worked well for me in practice, because it is a little difficult to keep this section perfectly flat against a guide. When that happens the distance of the cutter to the guide is effectively changed, resulting in a cut that is off. A completely round base would not have this problem. You only have one arbitrary to keep against your guide.
I like the power and the adjustable speed, but that by itself does not make a useful router. If you only want to profile edges this might be good.
I would not recommend anyone seriously interested in doing any kind of joinery buy this router.
