Sangean FB-100 Fatbox Rugged Industrial AM/FM Radio Reviews
I purchased this radio after getting fed up with what other brands call "jobsite" radios. I have owned the Dewalt and Bosch radios and both are so so in quality and design but neither of them have great reception or sound quality. This baby does and more. Great sound plus a 6 position equalizer, loudness option and outdoor setting. Sanjean only makes radios and they they do a great job of it. I live and work in rural areas and enjoy AM talk radio and all of them have poor reception in those areas, this one does not. It has 6-AM 6-FM presets and a digital clock. The letters and #'s on the digital display are bold and easy to read. The only problem I had was with the description. The specs called for 6-D Cells when it actually takes 8-D cells which was a problem because I ordered 6 of the high capacity rechargeable batteries and had to order 2 additional after I received the radio which was a little depressing. Also it takes 2-AA batteries(regular Alkaline) to hold the presets and clock in position, which is a nice feature. On the others I have owned, if the battery goes dead, you lose everything which is a "PITA" if you know what I mean. All in all, a little pricey but I am very happy with the radio and yes I would do it again.br /br /

Solid Purchase - TJ -I was looking for something solid to take on a float trip and came across this radio. It held up great out there... the rechargeable batteries I got for it lasted the entire float (8 hours) then it even kept going back at the campground. It comes with a car charger which also came in handy. You will not go music-less without this beast of a radio. My ipod even stayed nice and dry in the hidden compartment. My rating would be a 5 but I wish there were controls on the outside to control the ipod so I could easily skip songs. It wouldn't hurt it to be louder... but I'm half deaf so I'm sure to the average person it is plenty loud. Overall... great purchase. I use it everytime I'm outside.
