Customer Reviews for Milwaukee M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Bluetooth/AM/FM Jobsite Radio with Charger

M12 is the best radio for the price. Qaulity is unmatched

Great radio/speaker for its size. Gets daily use on the jobsite. Pairs quickly with iPhone. Love it! However, with all that it does so well it’s lacking 1. The inability to link with another speaker.

Perfect for the jobsite, lighter but tough, the sound quality fits my requirements. Very happy with my purchase. Keep the red fever going on and on!

Hello guys My Name is John Model 2951-20 Milwaukee radio Is so awesome I added a pwr pack so My cell can be charge.

I recently purchased this radio/charger it’s beyond amazing. I’m a maintenance guy for an apartment complex. When I’m in turns I have my radio on even when I’m working around the house my radio is on. I would absolutely recommend this product hands down. It’s a must for work or just around the house or parties.

I absolutely love the radio! I was skeptical on how good the sound quality and overall volume of the unit would be, but after using it all day and only using 50% of a M12 2ah battery, I am more than satisfied and impressed with this little guy! I can honestly highly recommend it! Good quality radio and doubles as a charger as well.

I like not having a power cord attached to the back of it. The bluetooth connection is seamless I'll leave a room and come back and the song will stop and start back up without touching it. I almost get 16hrs on one CP2.0

I have this one amd it works perfectly. Sound is perfect. I purchased the M18 pack out charger/radio. And the sound is absolutely amazing so loud and Krisp. Love both. Lol

Charge rapidly battery Sound is good And is really good for work small is good

I received this as a gift because my other battery radio for my shop/jobsites died. Great little radio for small spaces or people who dont wanna go deaf. Has lasted through falls, spills, a battery freezing in it and much more. As per milwaukee standard its an awesome piece for my collection. It just lacks the volume for my satisfaction. But I like my music loud. I have to bring it with me around my shop which is not ideal.

I’ve used other Milwaukee radios and this one is the best for the price in my opinion. It’s a great way to have music and charge M12 batteries

I enjoy using my Radio and the charger. Works great!

That’s one awesome little radio, it puts out, great reception in the Chicagoland area, even in the outskirts, I really enjoy it!✌️

Great radio, awesome sound, does what I need it too

I already own the M18 radio/charger, which is a great radio to have on the job, but I also wanted a smaller radio to have not only on the job, but also in my tool room. This M12 version is also an awesome design and quality. The radio can take any size M12 battery and also comes with a 12 volt DC port that allows you to power the radio without a battery or charge your M12 battery. You can play the radio or connect to the radio via Bluetooth from any Bluetooth capable electronic device so that you can stream music. Also included is a 2.1 amp USB port which will allow you to charge any electronic device. The radio has a self centering key hole and also a hollow handle which really gives you the ability to hand this radio anywhere on the job site. On a fully charged CP 2.0 battery you can run the radio for 10 hours. For the size the sound quality is excellent. 2 AAA batteries are included which keeps your presets saved and the clock going on the radio. There is a panel underneath where you plug in the battery that you can unscrew to load the AAA batteries. I find being able to charge my phone via the USB port is a great added feature to have on any job site. The radio is very light weight yet durable. Great to take with you on camping trips or wherever you might be hanging out. Great quality and design!!

Awesome sound and now charges batteries, frees up space on my tool box because I can get rid of one of my m12 chargers and just keep the radio/charger out. Sound quality is great and this has am/fm on it too for local stations.

Great radio with crisp clear sound and has great run time with the xc battery ive use it every day since i got it

For such a small radio it really does a solid job of pumping sound to the farthest parts of a jobsite. Paired with being able to use Bluetooth so I don’t have to listen to ads on the radio makes this a more worthwhile purchase.

I highly recommend it to anybody who has Milwaukee Products sounds good it’s perfect size

I’ve been looking for a new work radio, I decided to try this one because of its ability to charge m12 batteries. I’m 100% satisfied.

It took me several trials to figure out how to access the settings for the equalizer and presets. As soon as it enters the flashing mode, release the button you pushed to get you there. Then use EITHER the volume buttons or forward & back buttons to select the level or the preset location. Sound is very good for the size of unit. negative: can not charge from USB UNLESS the radio is on

very loud and smooth sound and with a 6.0 it lasts up to 36hours charged my phone fast this thing is great love it

This is a rugged, durable speaker with lots of features and above average sound quality. This is not an audiophile speaker, but it's not trying to be. I have an older bluetooth worksite speaker from Milwaukee, and this one is superior in almost every way, except that it doesn't get as loud. It does get fairly loud, but it's probably not sufficient for the largest of worksites, especially if outdoors. That said, I don't think I'd want this particular speaker to go louder as-is, as it starts to get a bit distorted at the very highest volume and would likely just get worse. Everything about this speaker seems solid, rugged, and well made, even the antenna feels like it would take some effort to damage. It takes M12 batteries, and can fit the larger XC versions as well as the smaller standard size batteries.

I really like this little speaker. It has Bluetooth, a radio, aux input, and a usb port. The radio reception is actually quite good. The Bluetooth is super easy to setup, the volume control links with my iPhone control. The sound is pretty good, especially with all its features. It’s almost waterproof, non submersible, it works off battery or the plug in transformer. When it’s plugged in it automatically charges the battery and when it is unplugged it automatically switches to the battery. The usb port will charge devices. It comes with batteries to put in for clock and preset memory, it does not come with a m12 battery. I am impressed with the quality. I am sure there are better sounding speakers in the price range, but nothing near the functionality of this.

I must say this has been one fantastic am/fm stereo, Bluetooth Job site speaker. I own a few different variations of this kind of job site entertainment. This unit by Milwaukee for its size & weight puts out great sound. The all-around features, ease of use and connectivity easily pushes this unit into the number one spot on our job sites. Now I tested this out with my family initially. Pulling it out of the box for the first time at the drive-in show. Installed two AAA batteries (included) for the purpose of maintaining memory. Installed a 4.0 amp hour M12 battery (same batteries for all of our M12 tools) and there we were with sound for 4 different families. Every parent commented on the sound quality. My wife, son & I took turns charging two phones and one table at the same time it was playing the movies audio. Further testing was completed over a weekend fishing getaway, just my wife & I. From the cabins picnic table to our boat with water splashing and rough waters, this unit didn’t flinch. Two thumbs up!!

The Milwaukee 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Bluetooth/AM/FM Jobsite Radio with Charger is a GREAT tool for the job! The reception is very clear and it is easily portable to any location. You can use it with the power cord or with the rechargeable battery. It also functions as a speaker for your bluetooth capable phone so that you can be hands free while working!

This is a great addition to the shop. It's loud enough to hear over the dust collector, and the radio has better reception than the other radios I've had in the shop. It's definitely not high-fidelity sound, but it's good enough to listen to the radio or to listen to your smartphone. The bluetooth connected easily to my Android device, so I can listen to podcasts or whatever app I wish. I was also pleased to find that it has three different power sources. You can use the M12 battery for long-lasting power if you're away from an outlet, or use 2 AA batteries, or plug it directly into a power source. And it's designed to be durable and at least nominally water resistant.

I love this radio/ charger combo. This lost a star from me due to a few minor inconveniences. 1) When running off of the battery, the Screen light shuts off after 5 minutes, so you cannot see the time from a distance when this happens. 2) I would have preferred hooks instead of hanging this by passing a cable or cord through the handle, my usb cable would not fit, I tried to pass it through to Tuck away my cable. Another minor annoyance is that when setting the time, after 5 seconds of inactivity it cancels the time set function, this was a small problem whenever I had to double check the time. The sound ia great to me. You can play music, charge the M12 battery and use the usb port to charge your phone at the same time. You can store 5 Radio Preset channels. Hold Am/Fm to enter the Treble and Bass settings. Press AM/FM once in this mode to set the Bass. Suggestions: Add a cup on the bottom of the sides so you can leave your cellphone there . Add one key functionality

This lost a star from me due to a few a minor things. I feel thing could benefit from rotatable hooks, to hang it from a door, cables and cords can pass through the handle, but my usb cable did not fit due to the piece near the tip being too bulky. All in all this IA a great radio that doublea as an M12 charger. The sound is great. And loud. I did not like that when setting the time, after 5 seconds of inactivity it cancels the action, so if you start to set it and double check the time tou may have to start over. You can set 5 radio stations. To access the Treble and Bass, hold the am/fm button and then press it again to go from Treble to Bass. The charger worked well, I was able to charge the. M12 battery and my phone at the same time that the radio was on. Suggestions: Add One Key functionality , include a cup at the bott om of the sidea so you can store your phone there, make this a little bit. Taller ao that you can have a compartment for fastenera, bits, store the ac adapter.

This is a nice speaker with the added convenience of also being a charger. My phone picked up its Bluetooth signal right away and after connecting the first time, connected automatically after that. If you are playing music that is on your phone, you can control the volume and go forward or back tracks via the player. It also has an AM/FM radio. You can advance though stations as well as program a preset station. Its body seems pretty rugged and you can hang it by the handle if you want. Note that it is not weatherproof. It takes 2 AA batteries (included) to maintain the clock when it’s not attached to a power source. The power/charging options on this speaker are great. It comes with a DC plug for a standard outlet. It can also run via the Milwaukee M12 battery (not included). If you use an M12 battery and have it plugged into an outlet, it also works as a charger for the battery. Also, there is a USB port for charging other devices like your phone. This charging feature really makes this a much more convenient device than just a speaker/radio. The sound quality is descent. Not much on the way of base – more treble. The volume can be set plenty loud for a garage or outside work.
