 Out of box problem but I like it! December 24, 2008
Bought this unit for use in my shop. Chose it for its design (heavy duty), its functionality (AM, FM, NOAA,and aux input), and sound quality (good reviews from tradesmen). I do like it. Priced very resonably for what you get. I did read all other reviews prior to ordering. Some folks did experience problems with the unit. Looks like I have one also. When plugged into AC and no battery in the unit--the way I will be using it-unit has what I can only describe as a loud 60 cycle hum coming from both speakers. I say loud because with the volume turned all the way down the hum is very noticeable. With the volume turned up the hum is drowned out by the music, but if you listen at low volume the hum would drive you nuts-it is not acceptable. I did isolate the unit from any external noise source such as flourescent lighting, etc. and the hum still exists. Just to make sure hum was not related to the AC in my home, I ran the unit off of a UPS that was not plugged into the AC line, and the problem still existed. Called Amazon rep and they called back immediately! They are processing a replacement. Easy and painless. I just hope this problem is not inheirent to product in general.
 Great jobsite radio July 2, 2008
I purcahsed this radio to use primarily use as a jobsite radio. Before I purcahsed this radio I went and used the display models of the Dewalt, Rigid, Bosch and Makita also. The Milwaukee has noticeably better sound no matter how you set them up. The FM reception also seemed noticeably better. It has a convenient aux. jack so you can connect an ipod or other external source to it. The cord is also convenient as it is a pass through so it doesnt tie up the outlet. I like the fact that it has many nice considerable and usable features and doesnt worry about a bunch of other (just for show) features that you would probably never use. All in all I am extremely happy with my purchase.
great June 4, 2008
great sound easy to operate. if it only had a built in battery charger for the milwaukee bateries it would be perfect
Job site radio May 25, 2008
This is a sturdy, well thought out radio. I use it regularly, and it is very rugged. I also understand why Milwaukie decided not to put a battery charging system in the radio. It would have been more valuable in my book if the radio was a little less fancy, and I could recharge my battery while I listen. Having the radio work off of any Milwaukie tool battery is nice.
Great for work! May 23, 2008
This is perfect for work. Tough, a little heavy , but works great. Love the aux input for my mp3.
