When you need a machine that uses electricity to make something as
sharp as a razor travel several thousand RPMs and you will be standing
less than a foot away from it during the process . . . DON'T buy the
house brand!

I wouldn't use a Homier power tool (even if the didn't break in the first 5
minutes), but I doubt any tool sold by a normal store is going to fail
catastrophically. The law suits would quickly put them out of business.

Your house brand router is going have significant run out, the bearing will
wear out pretty quickly. and they might be poorly designed. It will not
explode. If bad run out and short life aren't problems for you, they can be
good buys.
