You might have found that old school routers or lower tier model from each brand doesn't have load control. So unless its on max setting, you'll find it bogs and then stalls (or at least slows enough your chip size grows out of control and it trashes your work).
Anything over 1200w with load control from a decent brand is gonna be ok. Festool, dewalt and blue bosch are the usual suspects

Think I've narrowed it down - Dewalt DWE625KT seems like a good option.
Trend and Dewalt appear to be exactly the same machine, but I prefer the yellow and keeping £50 in my pocket. Also the Dewalt storage case is way nicer.
Was looking at second hand Festool but as I'm not a cabinet maker or carpenter in the traditional sense I imagine it'd be wasted on me.

What’s the best 240v 1/2” router? The classic Makita one I’ve been borrowing / using is a piece of shit in terms of adjustment and depth setting, it’s also slowing falling to bits. I am brand agnostic.
