Complete scrap

I bought this portable radio/bluetooth for use on the porch. After only 3 months he started losing radio signal from all stations. It plays the station for 3 or 4 minutes and then goes into the static state. THIS IS NOT A SIGNAL. I have tried other home radios in the same location with no signal degradation. Revain's 30-day return policy has now expired. The manufacturer makes it almost impossible to implement the stated 1-year guarantee. Huge pain. BEFORE WARNING; DO NOT BUY THIS.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some imperfections

disappointed with the volume of

Volume on this one was very disappointing. I have several bluetooth speakers that are not rugged and not designed for outdoor use, cheap at less than $20, with much better volume than this one. The maximum volume isn't enough to hear even at a distance of 5ft, I have a feeling something is wrong with it. Unfortunately I bought it a few months ago and I'm only using it now so I can't return it, I no longer have the packaging it came in. It's very durable, sound quality is good, Bluetooth isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Well built, easy to use, I like the sound.

My heavy duty AM/FM digital tuner Sangean U3 arrived today - goodbye old Sony. This thing is so well built, all the buttons, dials, storage spaces... are solid. It is 15 inches high and about a foot wide. The sound is amazing. Let me use the 24 hour clock too! I ordered a converter to connect my Apple iPhone 7+ to this bad boy. FM is very clear...I usually listen to C&W late evening/morning. What I really like about this device: 1) color; 2) build; 3) Power cord length and storage space areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Best job site sound About

This is the best job site radio I've ever owned. As for the radio, it's vastly superior to any DeWalt, Bosch, Milwaukee or Rigid I've owned or used. Some of the others have features like 115v socket etc which this one doesn't have but I bought it to use as a radio not an extension cord or charging station. The tuner is accurate, the sound is clear and the range is superior to the rest. I'm a rock guy so the sound is the best I've ever heard. The volume is sufficient on the street. Sounds goodโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Little competition
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Big and sturdy radio

I'm very happy with this powerful radio SOUND QUALITY: Good. Not stereo as there is a speaker. Independent bass and treble controls mean you can set it up for conversation or music. Best of all, the speaker is very clear at full volume with no rattles and a clear sound. The bass is good, but the high-low range is also good, but not quite as good as a home stereo. VOLUME: The sound gets loud and easily fills a large room. It won't blow you away like a disco, but it's still loud and sounds goodโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Great radio! in radio

This product met all my expectations. I use it as a clock radio and listen to it while getting ready for work. I like the fact that it returns to battery life in the event of a power outage. The difference between mains and battery operation is barely audible, apart from the appearance of the battery indicator on the display when the battery is in operation. In manual mode, the power output is 5W from battery, 6W from AC mains with a THD of 10%. I use it as a boombox on garage projects where it

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • appearance

The Cadillac of job site radios is big and full of features

The U4 radio/bluetooth speaker is big in every way. If size and weight don't put you off, you'll be pleased with great sound and great battery life. I bought this to replace a stolen Sangean BB-100 and it's definitely an upgrade in terms of volume and features. The BB-100 always seemed too quiet, even though it sounded nice. The U4 is loud enough for camping and backyard BBQs, but not loud enough for a dance party. It may be too quiet for a large work area. At a volume of around 75%, distortion

Pros
  • a good thing
Cons
  • clarity

Let's start with the negative: ------------- ------------- CONS - JEERSVOLUME - fair. It will NOT kick you out of theโ€ฆ
