EDIT: wow, it has high marks here - https://www.protoolrevi
I got the Dewalt on sale for $99 from Amazon not too long ago from this older deal - https://dealquestnow.online/f/15477502-2-pack-dewalt-xr-20v-max-5-0ah-li-ion-battery-charger-kit-select-bonus-tool-199-free-shipping
It looks like there a number of other sellers selling for close to this price point now (I'm guessing a number of them are 'fake' fraud sellers) so just make sure of who you're buying from.

Not saying that you should try to use these to make money at Home Depot, but it's just proof that this is a good deal

For a company that bought ELU 20 years ago, you'd think they'd make great routers.
Personally, I rank Makita 1st in palm routers. (Mainly due to their plunge base and durability.)
Bosch Colt 1.25hp (Not the 1hp. The 1hp is really weak in comparison and feels cheap. Its like a Rotary tool level of power lol.) Plus the Bosch doesn't have a good cordless palm router. Their 12v is great for edging, but that's really it. It's really fotlr like ¼" roundovers, and spiral/compression bits.
I think the Milwaukee gets so much praise due to its powahhhh. Lol. Most people these days seem to look at tools like "Torque = Quality". But a router needs a great deal of precision as well. And the Milwaukee will be fine on things like rough carpentry, and drywall cutouts. But it's got a bit too much oomph, for its size, to be precision based.
Palm routers require a lot of balance as well. I'm
