Default Buying a Router

An awful piece of ****e - one of the worst tool purchases I ever made.
I took it back to B&Q and ...

And so is the 1250W one. Awful plunge. Dreadful threads on the collets.
Lousy switch. Poor depth control. Awkward rotation stop mechanism. Very
limited plunge depth. Almost unusable with the perspex cover in place.

Still - got me out of a hole. Needed a router that could manage a bit more
than my 1/4" cheapie. Bought one of these. Used it and then returned
because of the above. Ideally, it would have been good enough to keep
(and I did originally intend to do so) as I have a number of upcoming uses
which don't really warrant the cost of a decent 1/2" one but would overtax
my current one.
