Good price for a cool tool accessory [Posted on 2007-11-27]
I purchased this for my husband. Every where else I looked it was double this price. He loves this tool accessory and sometimes I like to jam out too in the garage! :-)

Negative Experience [Posted on 2007-12-21]
We purchased the Reconditioned Bosch Construction Radio. We plugged it in and it came on for about one minute then would not play a cd, AM or FM radio. We contacted the Bosch Factory direct, about their reconditioned merchandise and they requested we return this radio to them, (shipping prepaid for return). They shipped a BRAND NEW Bosch Construction Radio replacement immediately!! It works perfectly. I certainly can not recommend a "Reconditioned" radio, it seemed to be a waste of my time. But Bosch Factory Direct rectified the problem, no questions asked! The company is the BEST! But their "reconditioned" products don't seem worth it.

Worked for ONE DAY: Followup [Posted on 2008-01-01]
This is an update to my review below. I just got my Bosch radio back. It appears to be the same radio, so my jury is going to remain out on the product until it has given me way more than a couple hours of proper functioning.

What I wanted to add was a comment about the Bosch customer service. It is outstanding! The radio had a CD stuck in it when I sent it off for repair, and they sent the CD back right away. Also, it was one week for them to return the radio to me. Big kudos to Bosch customer service. I hope the product will prove itself to be as good.

Below are my original comments:

------------------------------------------------------------


I am hopeful that Bosch will honor their warranty after reading the other review where the buyers returned their radio to Bosch and got a new unit.

My reconditioned radio worked for one day. Unfortunately, one of my CD's is now stuck inside it.

The cage is well-made, and I like some of the features like the four electrical plugs with the safety reset switch, but if the main point of this radio/CD player is to listen to the radio or CD, and that part is cheap to the point of being unreliable and nonfunctional, then it is worthless.

Expensive trash weight. [Posted on 2008-05-12]
I purchased one of these from CPO Bosch , of whom I cannot say enough nice things about. They are great to deal with so please use them and often. As for the radio...I bought mine because my DeWalt had no remote or CD player and the stations in my area leave a lot to be desired. I was excited and pleased when I received my radio, for about 7 months, and then the CD player started to act up and eventually just quit working altogether. So I used it as a radio and a set of speakers for my MP3. Until just after a year, the display went out and never returned. To be honest, it is a GREAT idea. The remote is nice unless you are in bright sunlight, then it will not work due to the fact that the remote is an IR remote instead of a RF remote. The sun blocks the eye on the radio from "seeing" the remote. I went back to using my old DeWalt with a MP3 or a junk CD player that I paid $20 from Walmart and am not interested in getting another one of these. Some may have good luck, but buyer beware.

Well worth the money, very pleased! [Posted on 2008-07-07]
I bought this for my husband for father's day & he just loves it! We use it mainly on our pontoon boat since we don't have a built in radio & the other carry radios that we've had in the past got terrible reception & the batteries were dead after each use. This radio is perfect! We use it in the garage when we're not on the boat or it's great for camping &/or tailgating. I would recommend it to others. The only reason I didn't give it a 5star is cause turning the channels could be a bit easier, it just takes awhile to get from one end of the band to the other but that does work better once you've programed channels in. And I wish it had a place to store CDs but besides those small things, this radio is perfect for our needs! We are very happy with the purchase. And I was a bit leary about purchasing a reconditioned radio but it works perfectly & we can't tell that it's not brand new.
