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.

Very disappointed

Would Not Recommend

We are a Dewalt tools family & were excited to get our new stereo to use in the workshop. We have used it about a dozen times and suddenly no sound, no Bluetooth connection, no volume, nothing. This oversized doorstop cost way too much to die so quickly. Has me questioning anything we might buy in the future.

20VMax Bluetooth Stereo Radio Boombox - Perfect!

Would Recommend

This device is perfect. Has USB port you can charge your device from, has aux in, and does bluetooth from your phone or computer, and finally just has plain old AM/FM. The only thing I can think of to make it better is for it to provide Dewalt 20V battery charging too, but that is picking nits. This will run off 20V battery or AC power (power is under the battery bay, so you cannot have a battery and power plugged in at same time - by design). Sound quality is actually quite good. If you look m...

Stopped working

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this radio to use on a remodel job I was doing on weekends, with plans to use it in my shop when the project was done. The radio was only used on weekends, and was not abused, but stopped working nonetheless. The radio went from difficult to turn on to stopping altogether. For a while it could still be used with a battery, but not with the cord. Now the battery rarely works. I bought it based on the Dewalt name and good reviews but I ended up with a lemon.

Nice Radio

Would Recommend

This radio sounds great and gets really loud (what i was looking for) I just had it on for 10hrs straight with a 4ah 20v max battery, and it didn't even use one bar! The bluetooth connects right up and seems to have a great range as well. My only (minor) complaints are these: 1. The way the battery plugs in in the back requires pulling the battery off to check the charge level. 2. Lowes website says this thing is water resistant, but I don't see an IP rating and the instructions specifically say...
