Bosch hands down.Pros:-cage allows it to be chained down with ladders and job box or hung up.-cd player plays CD-R/RW discs as well as your regular CDs, and it has a 40-second anti-skip protection feature built-in to eliminate CD skipping. If you want booming lows and tight high-end, buy a Bose Wave Radio and hope you don't trash it.-no line out jack for sending to a transmitter or other device.-backlit display is not designed for viewing above horizontal. ***All in all a great investment for anyone needing some tunes anywhere with or without power. Hello Amazonian- I gave this Factory-Reconditioned Bosch PB10-CDR-RT Power Box Advanced Job Site Radio with CD Player and Remote Control a 5 star rating because I have had it for over a year now & Love it. If you have the box setting on the ground, you must tilt it back or hang it to read the display.
It has beat out the competitors.(Milwaukee, dewalt) I had both. The only 1 one the market that does. The sound is excellent for a job site or back yard event.-cord wraps up 2 keep cable tidy when not in use.-light weight.-square shape lets you stack it on a two wheeler (unlike the DW & Mil).-snap-down CD tray keeps discs from jamming if you tip it or crash into it with a skyjack.-on-board 4-way GFCI power 12-volt outlet perfect for charging cell phones and two-way radios & cleans up cable clutter.-12v output and mini-jack input lets me tie in an i-pod or other gear. I invested in the I-pod case that installs on the side for endless hours of music.-battery charger cabinet holds CD's & other items for safe transport.-runs off battery for power tools or can charge them in 30mins.CONS:-Was not designed for really loud music.
The first one I received, the remote control did not work so they sent me another. Very poor Factory Reconditioning Quality Control going on at Bosch. When it didn't work, I sent the whole thing back and they sent me another a week later. Surprise, the remote control did not work either.
I own one of these radios. I could have bought a much cheaper transistor radio with the same effects of this very expensive radio.I hope someone else,with the same goals in mine as I had, will reconsider buying this costly radio. It is a piece of junk. I bought it because I work in a semi-noisy place hoping this radio would drown out the background noise, Much to my dismay when I turn this radio up to full volume I can still barely hear the speakers above the average noise in my place of employment.
Have Ipod attachment which works real well. I was worried at first about purchasing re-conditioned but very happy. I hope this one lasts for a long time, only time can tell. I am a contractor for many years. So I finally broke down and purchased a job site radio. Radio works great no problems. Overall good product. Happy so far.
I have purchased so many regular radios none of which could withstand the work conditions for too long. Radio is pretty good - out of all the similar style radios this one has best sound. Denis Sound is good not great.
The sound is pretty good, not great, but good. In a nut shell.overpriced for what it is. I bought this unit based on the opinion of a friend of mine since he owned one. I will not buy another one. Sometimes only two stations. Also several of the cage screws have fallen out somewhere along the way ao I need to get some new ones. I pulled them out and low and behold they shorted out.
I was very displeased with the radio, I can only pick up a few stations. The GFCI outlets quit working also. Wish I had not purchased this one. After getting a price on the part I have decided to make a plate and install regular household GFCI outlets since they are way better than the cheap ones installed by Bosch.
