Review: Awesome little boombox! - This thing is rugged and sounds great for my purposes. Often times I'll take this boombox outside with me when I'm working on outside projects and doing some backyard gardening or even indoors in my basement shop. Plenty of volume for my purposes of working in the general vicinity of up to sometimes 20' of the radio itself and it doesn't soak the life out of my rechargable batteries in a hurry. I sometimes keep this on from morning and throughout the entire afternoon up until near dusk sometimes and the batteries still hold up for me. Not only do I use this at home, but it's portability and small size is a huge benefit for me. I have also taken this to picnics and when I spend some leisure time to myself in the park practicing and rehearsing my juggling act with my playlist mp3 player through it. This is also an amazing radio to take along to a drive-in movie with and save yourself from a dead car battery when the movie is over (yes, it's happened to me and this boombox now comes along every time now). This definitely lasts through the double features with clarity and plenty of leftover juice to spare. It's design and functions are straightforward, simplistic and practical. There are five user preset buttons, a band function button (AM, FM and AUX for an mp3 player), a volume knob and a tuner selector knob. A momentary (10 second) orange backlit display is a nice feature when switching stations/functions. I have done research before purchasing this and for the price range and positive reviews, I couldn't have been more happy with my decision to go for this. This is my first and only "work" type of radio, so I can't compare it to others out there on the market. My only con I suppose would be the lack of any sort of equalization and I find this radio to lean a bit on the bass side of things and is somewhat "boomy" at times, depending on the type/age/quality of music being played. Nevertheless, I've had this a few years now and has never let me down and for the price point, you can't go wrong if you're in the market to find a decent source of musical companionship. If you want a good reliable radio with a fair amount of power and one that doesn't eat up battery life, I'd highly suggest this one.
Review: Excellent Portable FM Radio with a Rugged "Heavy Duty" Build Quality - I already owned several products by this excellent company (Sangean) including their HD Tuner which I connected to my NAD amplifier for my Home Office (I love listening to my local classical FM radio station in HD at low volume while I am working at home) in addition to their beautiful sounding HD FM Radio for my guest bathroom and the kitchen. In short, I already knew this company makes exceptional products. This portable heavy-duty FM radio is no exception. It has a nice solid feel to it (it won't blow over with a light to medium gust of wind) and it has amazing sound quality. The control knobs have a "solid" feel to them, as does the handle that allows you to pick it up and carry it. I like the rubber feet on the bottom which protect the unit. Most impressive is the "rechargeable battery" feature. I bought the proper size batteries that can hold a charge, so that I can enjoy this product for hours and not worry about "burning out the disposable & expensive batteries" that were used on my older unit. What is really cool is this unit will enable you to charge the batteries while they are properly loaded in the battery compartment, so all you do is switch it to "battery charge" mode and plug it in at home for a short while and it charges itself for your next "FM radio on-the-go" occasion, and you won't need to plug it during that occasion. I highly recommend this unit for those of you who also still enjoy FM radio for any number of "special reasons" and can appreciate a wonderful electronic product like this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it get wet?**
A: Yes it is stated as JIS4 on the Sangean site. The JIS4 Standard is not really a Water-Proof standard, but rather water-resistant. JIS4 in a nutshell means the product must be able to work without damage after submersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. In other words, it is for products where expected use around water is not under high-pressure, but it could get wet and still be ok. Typical for products with intended use around pools, marine craft, or weather/rain use. Not intended for taking diving for example.

**Q: Will it work in a heavily insulated aluminum siding  with shop florescent lighting?**
A: I have one in my large barn w/ florescent lighting, and it works better than the radio that was in there.  I don't see where insulation would interfere with reception.

**Q: Help an old geezer out here...what is the purpose of being able to plug in an iphone?  Just charging it?**
A: Just to output the audio into the radio so it is louder. You cannot charge the iPhone with the radio.

**Q: how good is this radio dependable good reception strong**
A: hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Radio!
*by A***H on July 15, 2021*

I'm really impressed with this toughbox radio, it's such a great design and handy to use. Very sturdy and the sound this thing puts out for its size is impressive and sounds good. I purchased 4 rechargeable C batteries at batteries and bulb's and it holds a charge for hours. This radio does not come with rechargeable batteries you have to buy some but makes it way more handy, just flip the switch to recharge in the battery compartment. The radio does not charge the batteries when it is on just turn off the radio and plug it in and they will charge. The 9 foot chord is great to and the antenna works great for getting reception. Great Radio, one of the best thing's I've bought of Amazon for the past few years I highly recommend this radio!
