Does exactly what it is supposed to do. I adjusted the treble and base and it sounds great. Great volume. It's a great addition to the shop. I'm using a 5.0 amp battery and on day 3 so far.

Not a M18 radio
Bought this radio 1 month ago and it will not play on the battery, it has to be plugged in to work. If I had read these reviews I would not have bought it. I have many Milwaukee M18 and M12 tools and this is the only one I regret buying.

    Got this product through work and unfortunately like many of the other reviews it only works when plugged in. I'm really disappointed in the fact as we have always taken the older model out on the lake fishing with us and with this one we can no longer do that. I have been a Milwaukee fan for use, they're the only tools I use. But I've really contemplated going with a different brand of radio at this point.

      Unimpressed
      I should have read the reviews before buying this one. I have two of the old models {2790-20) that have been awesome. One has been playing non stop in the dairy barn since 2010. Wanted another for in the house. First one had a bad speaker right out of the box. Second one has poor sound quality compared to the old ones. All around cheaper look and feel. Time will tell of it's reliable I guess. Just going by online reviews alone, Milwaukee really dropped the ball by discontinuing the old model. "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is"

        It’s a radio
        Bought this radio thinking I’d have no issues. Only to try to connect and find out this thing does not have bluetooth only aux cable. Pretty inconvenient for iphone users. Does have usb plug in so i get to buy another cord for something how great. Other then that it’ll probably work just fine. More product description should be given on your radio

          No Bluetooth in 2023
          I bought this today in a pinch as a freebie with a battery pack. Now I know why they’re offering this for free! I assumed in the store it had Bluetooth, Since every product manufactured after like 2005 had Bluetooth in it! This thing is beyond useless, it’s a glorified battery charger! I can’t wait to return this trash tomorrow. The fact that a 180.00 speaker doesn’t come with Bluetooth gave me such a bad taste in my mouth about greed that it may make me NEVER buy a Milwaukee product again!

              Not worth 20 dollars
              Very low quality for the price. No features. Can't charge a battery even though it plugs in. Only has a radio and a clock with an optional aux jack and usb port. Audio gave out just after the warranty. Just a massive clock now.

                Stopped working
                This radio stopped functioning in less than 3 months of light use. Only used at home. Never dropped, and never got wet. Radio turns on, but no sound comes out and the buttons don’t function. I love all my other Milwaukee stuff, so this was very disappointing

                  Awesome Radio
                  This radio is awesome with two ways to power it up. Amazing sound quality and the tuner is excellent. I can listen to stations I can't get in my truck. I love that I can plug my phone in and charge it up and connect to the radio via the aux cable that is provided.

                  Handy to have in the job site. Not afraid of it being beat up. Pretty strong.

                  Need to update for Bluetooth
                  I purchased this radio and returned it after discovering it does not charge a battery. Relatively simple feature that could have been added in my opinion. Also there is no Bluetooth option and the auxiliary 3.5 mm connection is nearly obsolete on most phones nowadays
