Amazon has what looks like a good deal on a Milwaukee combo router. Anyone had any experience with Milwaukee routers, good or bad? The feedback on Amazon looks to be very positive but you never know who really provides that feedback.

I recall a Fine Woodworking shootout article a few years back that rated Milwaukee routers very highly indeed....

I have three Milwaukee routers almost identical to that one (without the plunge) and they are still ticking great after about 8 years

I got the Milwaukee 5625 3-1/2 HP for my router table, based on several recommendations. Its a great tool, very well built, I could not be happier.
