What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the radio's powerful, clear sound with impressive bass response and stable Bluetooth connectivity across large job sites. Many appreciate its rugged construction, dual power options (AC and battery), and versatility for jobsites, garages, and outdoor use. However, a significant group reports power button failures after 6-12 months, rendering the device unusable despite otherwise excellent performance. Some note the volume buttons require excessive presses and the inability to charge batteries while plugged in. Overall, most customers consider it a solid choice despite reliability concerns.

Bought this radio for around the garage. It worked great for around 6 months. Now it will cut off and will not come back on unless it sits idle for 4-6 hours unplugged. It will then work for a day or 2 and same thing. Once it cuts off, it will not work on Battery or shore power.

Poor Quality
Would Not RecommendBought this less than a year ago for my husband as a gift because the dewalt work radio he had for almost a decade (and was kept on & outside in ALL weather for more than half that time to keep wild animals away from our chickens) finally stopped working. Well, that old radio was amazing. This newer model is crap and stopped functioning properly after a few months before completely stopping working last month. It is a complete fail on dewalt a manufacturing, in our opinion, and a waste of the cu...

Power Switch Failure after 12 Months
Unfortunately, this product does NOT last. Much like the other users have reported the power button on my radio stopped working about 12 months after purchase. The radio will not turn on while it’s plugged in, nor while using a battery – all features are completely bricked. Had I used this radio on a jobsite, I might understand its short life, but it lived in my climate controlled garage (on a bench) its whole life, then one day it wouldn’t turn on. While It was a fantastic product (that...

Bad Radio DO NOT BUY!!!!
Would Not RecommendThis Radio will last about 1 year with light use. I had one replaced under warranty and I am hoping they will replace it one more time. It now turns on by itself and the volume does not work. This is exactly what the first one I returned did, Not worth the money trust me, save your money. 0 stars

Terrible Quality..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this November of 2022 to replace my Old Dewalt radio that had the notorious volume knob issue. This one worked for 6 months and only 10-12 uses in a garage setting that it never moved from since new..Now it turns off and on and cuts in and out..I don’t recommend this to anyone and wish I could get my $ back..

Good quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this radio for almost 2 years. It has very good sound quality. It's not quite as loud as you would expect, but still pretty good. I like that it can be powered off of AC or DC, has AM/FM, bluetooth, and AUX, and has presets for the radio. I would definitely recommend.

Would Not RecommendThe radio is not like the older model. We can't charge the bigger batteries on it. We also have to purchase the battery separately.

Disappointed!
My wife bought me this radio last summer. Stopped turning on. It had good quality sound and I enjoyed it while it worked. I can see by the other reviews that I'm not the only one.

Worked great till it didnt
Would Not RecommendNice little radio that I keep on the shelf in my garage out of the weather and occasionally would throw a battery in it when we'd have people over. The versatility of being able to use batteries or 110v is super handy & it was exactly what I wanted for a radio. Worked great until I went to turn it on & it wont do anything. Ive owned it for about 2 years now.

Good til it wasn't
Would Not RecommendMy husband was SO excited to buy this radio, looks cool and the sound quality was awesome. He brought it home and has been using it frequently. Two weeks ago, he went to turn it on and nothing. Switched to the battery, nothing. The screen doesn't come on at all. And Dewalt is saying $113 for a "factory overhaul" for a radio that is supposed to be under warranty for the first year, and we haven't had it for half that long yet! Disappointed with the product and the brand
