Review on BOSCH RA1177AT Three-Piece Dust Extraction Hood Kit for Mr23-Series: Efficient Dust Control Solutions for Ultimate Precision by Angelo Forrest

Very disappointing. I would definitely not buy again. I feel like Bosch is REALLY doing all of their customers a disservice by continuing to sell them. You are too skinny. The second time I used it, I heard a click as I slowly moved the router. The dust collector cover has cracked in half. The hose was supported and created no stress on the case. When I first opened the package it was pretty obvious that the plastic was too flimsy. However, I thought that Bosch would not allow something so low to be sold under its own name. Well, either the person or people responsible for making the marketing decision for this product as it stands were either completely unqualified, or they just didn't care about their customers. Either way, at the end of the day, people who buy these inferior products are having a bad experience with a Bosch product. $30 certainly won't break me, but the experience makes me question Bosch's philosophy in relation to its customers and the quality of the products they sell. I can't say I will never buy a Bosch product again, but I have an overwhelming sense of the sheer poor design that remains on the market. I am less than impressed and very disappointed. I can say that I will look more closely at other brands in the future as there is a lot of competent competition on the market.
