The one I received (and sent back) also looked used ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ light weight and easy to see the bit while cutting. *by on Reviewed in Canada 14 September 2025* I've had this router for a few months. I have a bigger Bosch router mounted in a table, but this little one is great for intricate small bit work. Great visibility while cutting as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great router. Bosch seems to make better routers than anyone else at their price point. *by on Reviewed in the United States 5 December 2020* Been in a woodworking shop for 9 years and have used many different brands of routers. Bosch has always been an excellent router brand. The grip on this router is far more ergonomic than the cheaper 1hp variant Bosch router. Though it is also heavier and larger than the 1 hp version. For me, (being a smaller guy) the added weight and size do make it a bit more fatiguing to use than the smaller version when doing a lot of routing but if you only need it for a few passes on some material to out an edge on, it's excellent. And I suspect average sized or larger guys would prefer the size and weight of the 1.25hp router over the 1hp.The LED lights seem pointless to me but the clear round base is far better than the square black one on other models.One thing this router has that I've never seen before on any tools is a ball joint that the cord is connected to the router in. Why other tool makers and other product designers in general don't have that feature is beyond me. But it puts far less wear and tear on the cord connection on the router.Overall I'd say the router is well built, plenty of power and the added weight and power makes it vibrate less when using it on hard woods compared to the 1hp variant.Lastly, I read a lot of reviews talking about the micro adjustment is worthless on this router and I was a bit concerned about that. But after using it I realized that while it's not perfect, I certainly have no issue using the micro adjustment properly. People who complain about the adjustment being worthless either don't know how to properly adjust it or they got defective routers. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSCH GKF125CEN 1.25 HP (Max) Variable-Speed Palm Router Tool - Bosch PR102 Palm Router Edge Guide - BOSCH RBS015MBS 15-Piece (Universally Compatible Accessory) Carbide-Tipped Wood Router Bit Assorted Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/579411591-bosch-gkf125cen-palm-router-1-25-hp-max-torque-variable](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/579411591-bosch-gkf125cen-palm-router-1-25-hp-max-torque-variable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
