I have a Sears router from the mid 90s that works fine. But I always wanted the Bosch Colt and bought a refurbished one at CPO Bosch. MUCH easier to use, especially if you want to put a bead or round over on one by stock. Only thing I don’t like about it is you have to take your bit out to put it back in it’s case.

Look at CPO Bosch / Dewalt. The Dewalt palm grip with the plunge base option is how I would go today, and they may have those refurbished as well.
