4.0 out of 5 stars Black and Decker Shop Radio, December 30, 2008

I received this radio as a Christmas gift. At first I thought it might be a toy with its gaudy orange case and retro protective rails. I was wrong. This radio is very versatile. First off - it has a large strong rechargeable battery - no more wasting tons of D size batteries. This battery lasts at least 12 hours at 50% volume - much longer at more reasonable sound levels. I have an ipod shuffle that fits into the foam lined slot. I can choose between mp3's - AM - FM radio. You can imagine the mp3's a 60 year old man has :-)

The digital readout is lighted for tuning the radio at night. You simply toggle sources between AM - FM - AUX for playing songs. The tuner also has a search feature - but no pre-selects for special stations. The battery charger coils up and is stored in its own compartment - the mp3 player compartment also has a weathertight door.

The orange case - that I thought was gaudy is great for the beach. It is durable and keeps the sand out. It also has rubber legs to keep the radio up off the ground. Also there is a durable protective metal frame and handle.

I find it handsome enough to keep it on my desktop - also on my workbench - and out camping or on picnics. It does not have stereo speakers - but does have a base boost - and lots of volume. One of the best things you do not have to worry about is buying batteries. That makes this orange baby green.

3.0 out of 5 stars AC adapter died., November 24, 2009

For the price I couldn't find anything close to this radio. The built in rechargeable batteries are the best feature - I play no favorites when it comes to power tools, so I didn't want to be stuck with any particular brand's battery for a job radio, plus I didn't need the extra bulk that most of them have. The sound quality is fairly poor - lacking high frequency definition so it sounds pretty muddy. Today or yesterday the AC adapter crapped out (tested with a voltmeter - no output). Bummer. I'm sure I have another one of same voltage and at least the same current output, so I'll be okay, but I'm not sure I have one that will fit into the compartment on the back of the radio. This product loses a star for sound quality and another star for made in China crap.

This is the best rechargable radio for the price. The only fault I could find is when the radio is plugged in to charge the battery, the reception is weak and scratchy. As long as it is charged when not in use, the sound quality, (not stereo), is just fine.
