 Great sound, good price, heavy duty March 27, 2008

This radio is everything I expected it to be. Rugged, small footprint, stylish, has great sound (amazing base response considering the size) digital presets for AM and FM radio, water/dust tight compartment for tool battery and or Ipod/mp3 player or to store included 12v power adapter. I use an Ipod shuffle connected to the auxiliary in #2 jack located inside the sealed compartement. It works flawlessly. The radio locks on well to FM stations and not bad for AM stations (I like to listen to talk radio as well). The presets are great and easy to access. The dual function tuner dial is very smooth. Push it in and it changes volume, press again and it changes tuning. Also has channel search function, auto off function for those who like to fall asleep with radio on, wake up tone alarm and clock radio function. Also has 2 AA battery backup inside water proof compartment to save presets and displays the time on the lcd screen. The lcd screen lights up when any button is pressed then shuts off after a short delay to save power. All in all a great radio. So what it doesn't charge batteries. I use cordless tools all the time and generally don't use the stock charger anyway. I buy the fast chargers so don't need another with the radio. It would have been nice to include the transformer inside the unit so a regular 120v a/c cord plug could be used when not using a Makita battery. Oh by the way, I don't own any Makita tools anymore so I just use the power adapter. No problem. I've used the Bosch, Milwaukee, and seen the new Ridgid jobsite radio's. They are all large, bulky, heavy,loaded with unesessary features and parts break off of them. I am enjoying this radio very much and highly recommend it.
nice jobsite radio January 7, 2008

This is the perfect jobsite radio for any makita cordless tool owner, it has good quality sound and is loud enough to get the job done without being too big or heavy that you dread lugging it around. I like the AUX plugs for mp3 or cd plug-in, I personally plug my mp3 player into the plug located in the battery compartment to keep it protected from dust and such, it is a nice feature for anyone who has a nice mp3 player they dont want damaged at the jobsite. The fact that it doesnt charge batteries doesnt matter to me since I have seven makita batteries that work with the radio, besides I bought a radio not a battery charger.
This radio is loud and ROCKIN! July 25, 2008

i bought one of these radios specifically because it could run off of my lithium ion makita batteries. once i plugged my mp3 player into it, i was convinced. Then it accidentally fell off of a roof not once but twice. not that i'm saying this radio was built to be thrown off of 30 ft buildings but you get the point. The sound is better than my own car stereo!!! i love this radio. it's loud and the speakers mounted on the side spread the sound everywhere instead of just forward. The clock is very handy because it always displays the time even when you don't have a battery in. That power is supplied by two AA batteries that came with my radio. Well worth every cent!
Best one yet January 19, 2008

I've had both the Dewalt and the Milwaukee and the reciever in this radio is far superior. The battery life is better than the spec. It outlasts the CD player that I plug into it. I've played this radio for three days before charging the battery. Good controls. It's not as loud as the others but that's not a problem. The A/C wire is kind of flimsey compared to the toughness of the rest of the radio but if your careful it shouldn't be a problem.
Great radio and quality February 16, 2008

I purchased this radio just over a month ago and love it. Great sound quality from a compact yet durable unit, it'll surprise you. Nice controls and with the BMR100W model, you have the aux plug. I had no problem with my mp3 player as far as sound quality/loudness goes. As far as no battery charging capabilities, I was looking for a radio, not a charger. I've got chargers that came with my tools I can use. Some may want that option, so be aware of that. Overall, great radio, very happy with my purchase.
