Great quality material. The sound is amazing and very clear. With it being a charger too I dont have to worry about taking the battery out. Love how it clips right in with Packout boxes. Great job on this one Milwaukee.

Not Worth the Price, lacks too many key features
The main reason for me purchasing this was so I can have a radio to the jobsite, without having to worry about forgetting to pack it. I do not like this radio because there is nothing to protect the speakers during transport. I wish this came with covers to prevent things from bumping into the wire frames for the speakers as you haul it to the jobsite and back in my van. I had a couple of instances on the first day where I had items bump into the frames while I had the radio in my van and I was worried it would smash it. So far it has not happened, but I do not feel comfortable keeping it on my stack of packs. I could have purchased another set of 3 boxes for the price of this and now I may no longer carry it to the site. I have an M12 speaker, which works great. I am better off getting a packout just for that and adding it to my stack.
Another issue for me is the cord, it's a 6footer which is good , I just do not like that it stays exposed and there is nothing to cover it up. I do not want it to unravel and get tangled up with something during transport. The sound was good, I was expecting something loud but it sounds good. This has a pass thru feature so you can operate it while it is charging. I like carrying it around as it gives off a retro vibe , carrying a boombox. Another issue is that I have to constantly set the time, maybe I just have to replace an internal battery, but it is an annoyance. Also the LCD Panel does not display the fuel gauge, with something that is going to run continuously, it would be nice to quickly see how much juice in left in the tank. I would also like to see more protection for the LCD panel for greater protection during transport or on the jobsite
Suggestions:
I would like to see covers made for the speakers to protect them during transport. An outlet, making this a radio/ inverter, that would be great especially when pair with the work surface top. A cover to protect the cable. Make it one key capability so you can change the settings with One Key and select preset stations.

Packout radio rocks!
This thing is incredible and a great addition to my Packout stack. Highly recommend! It was a pricey addition and heavy, but I have high hopes it is over engineered and that I paid for long lasting quality. With all that said I am very happy with the sound quality and available volume.

Best jobsite radio I’ve ever used
Another tool where I’m kinda scratching my head at the negative reviews. This thing is awesome great bass and sounds good from anywhere in the house plus great battery life. I use it with packout cart and love it i even use it with my firestick for movies sometimes when I’m not near my stereo is so nice. Is the equalizer overly simple? Sure but in cases where i use my phone i have a better equalizer app then most radios and they include volume booster as loss of output is very common in Bluetooth connections. Everything seems to be overly engineered it is heavy but being packout i think it’s understood that it will be part of a modular rolling setup so is really not a big deal. I leave it on my packout cart and just roll It wherever I’m working my only regret is not ordering sooner because of bad reviews. Not sure it had just been fixed since they were written but i have no Bluetooth cut out and no distortion of sound whatsoever even during charging. Would absolutely buy again this is a game changer for work!

The power cord just stopped working.
The radio sounds great, but I have had mine for only a few months and have always taken great care of it yet the power cord just stopped working which means it won’t charge a battery and now only works off of the M18 batteries.
