Are SKIL routers durable enough for regular use?

This is the most contested question in the signals we read. Independent tool-review coverage at protoolreviews.com rated the SKIL RT1322 highly on features and value, while several r/woodworking threads flag concerns about long-term durability and plunge-base rigidity. The consensus is that SKIL is a strong value pick for hobbyists but not the first choice for daily professional use.
