Germany
The cheapest way into almost every family — and the least likely to tell you what you are buying
Einhell is the price floor of this site. A plunge router at €57, a lathe at €155, a band saw at €160, a pillar drill at €205 — in every family it occupies, it is the cheapest entry that is still a real machine rather than a toy.
Specifications are frequently missing. The TC-WW 1000/1 lathe publishes no swing, no centre distance, no motor rating and no spindle thread — four numbers that between them define what a lathe can do. The TC-RO 1155 E router does not state its collet size, which is the only specification that decides which bits fit.
We report those gaps rather than filling them from a similar model, and it means several Einhell reviews on this site are shorter than we would like.
Two listings carry no EAN. Without a barcode we cannot look a product up on the other five Amazon stores, so we cannot tell a French or Italian reader whether it is sold there. Those products get a German reference and a local search everywhere else.
Buy Einhell to find out whether you want the machine at all. Several people reading this will use a €57 router twice a year for a decade and never need better, and that is a perfectly good outcome. What Einhell does not do is publish enough for you to compare it properly before you commit.
250 mm · 2 000 W · 85 mm cut
The cheapest way into a real table saw, and honest about what that buys — a big blade, a big cut, and a fence you will end up improving.
Best for: A first table saw for occasional sheet and softwood work, where the alternative is no table saw at all
≈ £120 / 105 €
2 200 W · 80 mm at 90° · Ø 254 mm · stand included
A €171 table saw that cuts 10 mm deeper than the Bosch above at a quarter of the price — in a plastic housing, on a stand, with everything stated.
Best for: A first table saw in a home workshop, used occasionally rather than daily
≈ £220 / 170 €
Wet and dry · automatic start
A wet-and-dry workshop vacuum with tool-triggered start, at a third of the price of the professional machines here.
Best for: General workshop cleanup and light sanding extraction on a budget
≈ $450 / £255 / 155 €
2 × 18 V · 30 L stainless · Ø 36 mm hose · bare tool
A cordless wet and dry vacuum with a 30 litre stainless drum — the machine that goes to the dust rather than waiting for it.
Best for: Site and garage clean-up, and extraction at small tool ports away from a socket
≈ $490 / £155 / 165 €
