Pros
The rugged design. It is very durable and water resistant
Great multifunctional radio. It can both charge and run off a battery.
Cons
Problem with the antenna. The tuning of this radio is not so good. The tuner knob does not last. There have been so many complains from users of the radio.
Problem with the Sound. The speakers are not that great, they don’t sound so good. Although it comes with a bass button, the speakers can’t handle it. Sorry, you have to turn the volume down or turn off the bass to reduce the amount of distortion.
