📻 Sangean TB-100 TOUGHBOX Digital Rechargeable Radio, Green - FM/AM/Aux Ultra-Rugged Review

It lasted about 2 1/2 years with light use. It was the radio from my garage. If it is now connected to the network, it will show "E" and turn off. Very disappointed. I have a 1970's AM/FM radio that I still use and it works great. This Sangean had great sound, great volume, and I love the digital presets that allow me to quickly switch between my news station and my music station. If a digital car radio can last 10 years without failure, I don't see why the fixed radio in my workshop can't work

We ran the radio on electricity at home for two days and the battery LED started flashing even though we weren't using the batteries. At this point the radio stopped working.

The AUX input jack is good and the sound from my MP3 player is great. Radio=tuner is…

This rugged little radio is perfect for the garage or workshop. The radio is also rain, dust and shock resistant, making it perfect for taking with you to your garden, to work or even to the beach. The sound is pretty decent from a single 5-1/4" speaker. The FM stations sound great, but unfortunately a few AM stations aren't as good - maybe it's just my location. Bluetooth is easy to set up and to use and works like a charm. Nice and useful features include a carry handle on the top, a border…

The thing is solid and sounds great for my purposes. I often take this boombox outside when working on outdoor projects and yard work in my backyard or even indoors in my basement store. Enough volume for my purposes to work in close proximity to the radio itself, sometimes as far as 20 feet, and it doesn't drain my batteries of life anytime soon. Sometimes I leave it on in the morning and all day, sometimes until sunset and the batteries still keep me going. Not only do I use it at home, but…
