Good, solid radio. Doesn't need it's CD player because it's a construction site/shop radio. Also it is not loud enough. from Absolutehome.com Great radio. you have to go with the Bosch Advanced radion thats the one with the remote control. Its worth having. from Homedepot.com I just can't keep lugging this thing to the jobsite anymore. If I can leave it there it would be one thing. Ok, the bad: 1- HEAVY and cumbersome, 2- horrendous reception, 3- mp3 input must be a micron off because all of my units need the input cord jiggled to get stereo sound regardless of input wire, I have tried three different ones, 4- CD player has issues playing burned discs most of the time, 5- charger is VERY SLOW, in the neighborhood of 3 hours, 6- little remote now needs to be within 6 feet to work, yes, I have changed the little battery at $3.50 each, 7- not very loud, I bought the Milwaukee $88 radio b/c the guys at Home Depot use it out of all the ones they stock b/c it is the loudest and clearest, and 8- Way too expensive. I got suckered b/c of all the wizbang stuff about it but in hindsight I wish I would have passed on it and the below par Bosch batteries. from Amazon.com I owned the older model for three years and it took a licking. Yeah, the CD player skips too much, but I can live with that. The big flaw is the radio reception. from Amazon.com I received my Bosch PB10 job site CD/radio a few days ago. It appears Bosch has resolved much, if not all, of the issues with reception that plagued others' experience noted previously. from Amazon.com I picked mine up at a salvage place for $70 (bent handle and all). I've found that the FM reception is good even in a brick and steel building. I've used the remote to switch songs and volume on the CD player from 15'. I also like the convienence of having 4 GFCI outlets available. from Amazon.com I have been to several job sites with Bosch radios, and all the only thing playing was Spanish radio! I've seen plenty of reviews complaining about reception, but the Spanish stations seem to come in fine. from Amazon.com I have never submitted a product review before, but I feel so strongly in this case that I felt compelled to do it. And I am sorry to have to agree with many reviewers here: Bosch has failed to deliver even on the basics with this product. From the reviews, it seems possible that half of us received quality, dependable radios, and the other half got scuds. from Amazon.com I checked for a fuse, nothing. It is dead. I own a lot of tools, and BOSCH has continually disappointed. Unfortunately, I've purchased a lot of BOSCH tools. from Amazon.com The new and improved Bosch PB10-CD Power Box rocks over its competition. Great reception, a hook on the belt remote control, fold down antenna plus 4 way GFCI outlets makes this a keeper. from Amazon.com
