It wasn't designed for that.It's a boom box. It works just fine with my iPod plugged in, and I have faith that it will handle a dusty environment.I use it in my trailer when camping (yes, I take cordless tools camping) and it fills the trailer with decent sound. I have a bunch of DeWalt 18v tools, and I like music. Does it sound as good as a 7.1 Dolby surround blah blah stereo. It recharges your DeWalt batteries.You can plug in an iPod.Who uses CDs any more.The radio works fine, but radio stations in this country are so bad, I never listen anyway. Hell no.

Good quality sound, will run on battery power when unplugged, charges Dewalt cordless tool battery pack when plugged. It's a must have at the jobsite if you use Dewalt cordless tools. Didn't come with a battery.

I finally am able to remove this piece of junk from my truck and replace it with something else. DeWalt makes fantastic tools; they need to buy these junk radios back and put out a better designed jobsite radio. I've been a user of DeWalt and their cordless tools for some time, and generally love their products, but this one is a terrible joke.

Works perfectly. Great reception and easy to program. Only down side is the charger is in the back, so if you have it on a shelf you have to pull it down to swap batteries.

I sent it in again specifically stating that it overheats the battery packs on occasion. But they did not work on the electronics there, so it was sent to Minneapolis. By the time summer rolled around, I found that it was blinking the Hot/Cold Pack Delay signal. This is my second DeWalt DC011 Radio Charger in a years' time. (These are packs that never overheated in the regular charger). I got the radio back and tried it.

Turned out that this pack was ruined, and I thought it was a fluke. It worked OK far a couple of days. I thought my problems might be over, but it was the same thing again. As of this writing I am contacting DeWalt to see if there is any way to rectify this problem, and I only keep a weak pack in the radio. About a month later I received a brand new replacement. I am a professional contractor who lives in a small town in North Dakota. I found the pack which had been placed in to be extremely hot, and it wasn't when I put it in.

Later the same thing happened to another pack which was only a couple of months old. My first radio worked fine the first couple of months that I had it. Sure enough after a day or two I had a pack overheat. (Happened to be wintertime and I was using it in a house under construction with only a space heater for heat at the time. Since this unit was still under warranty I returned it to an authorized service center. I use the regular charger to charge my batteries. They didn't find anything wrong.
