Great little radio! If you have to have volume enough to make your ears bleed then this isn't it. This unit is perfect for anybody doing work in private housing or apt.remods where sound can become an issue. The AC/CD cnverter is just one more thing to carry in/out so unless the job is going to last awhile crack a little more leather and buy an extra battery. You can always use it as a spare.

I work in the construction field where hulking in tool after tool from my truck is an everyday hassle. So when I was in the market for a solid worksite radio, what I didn't want was a big Dewalt brick of a product. Granted, the Dewalt is a good quality radio, it's just too big. So I found this Milwaukee on Amazon, and after reading a few reviews, I decided it was just what I needed.
Boy am I glad I chose it. It's unusually small, but very solidly built. My 80gb ipod (5.5 gen) fits snuggly into the provided compartment. There's an auxiliary cable already inside the compartment, with an elastic band that holds the ipod tightly in place. My biggest concern was battery life, especially since like all radios not named Dewalt, this one does not charge the battery while it's plugged in. As it turns out, it hasn't been an issue thanks to the very fast battery charger. In 20 minutes, the battery is fully charged and ready to go. And I've gotten 5 hours out of one charge. Now, carrying around the charger, battery and radio would seem to be a hassle if you, like me, don't own any other Milwaukee products to interchange with. I have to say, it has been no problem whatsoever. I bought a small Husky brand tool bag from Home Depot, and all three items fit perfectly inside. The bag itself is about half the size of a Dewalt radio, so you're still saving space. Add to that the sound quality, which is astounding considering the size difference, and you end up with a very good option for those wanting to stay away from the yellow, or wanting a smaller radio.
Pros- Size, battery life and sound. Ipod shock resistant and weatherproof compartment
Cons-Battery doesn't charge while radio is plugged in.

Great little radio, it sound better than some of the other job site radios three times it's size. The only thing I would change, is have the ipod charge while its pluged to the radio

After spending a fortune on D batteries on our beach trip last summer to fill up our old boom box, I knew it was time for a change. I wanted something I could plug my iphone into, something small, durable, and a rechargeable battery. My Google search with this criteria led me straight to the M12, and man am I glad it did. Check out the YouTube video of this thing if you question its durability. I haven't been to the beach yet, but I did bring it with me to play a couple hours of tennis with some friends. The battery indicator didn't even drop, and I had it at 3/4 volume. My iphone fits into the compartment perfectly, as I stream endless commercial free music via Rhapsody, Pandora and Slacker via the 3G network (iTunes is dead eventually). I have a $3000 JL/Alpine audio system in my car, so I know really good sound. Of course I wasn't expecting much more than clear sound from the M12, and of course no bass to speak of. Listening to this little guy inside from 8 feet away was sort of disappointing. It's not until you get it outdoors do you see how this thing just seems to cut through all the ambient sounds of the outdoors and delivers clear rocking sound to my ears even yards and yards away. For me, this is the perfect travel radio. Also, the charger works well...only 30 minutes to charge the 6 hour battery. One of the prongs was bent on the charger (this is common in the reviews). Be a man and fix it yourself if this happens to you. It wasn't hard to figure out. Peace and great music to all.
PS. The radio comes in well, even without the antennae up for many stations. I don't listen to radio (too many
car commercials and other retarded ads), but thought I would be helpful.
PSS. To maximize the sound quality, I like to turn it up to about 3/4's, bring the bass down 2 notches, and the treble up 4 notches. Turning up the bass too high will cause the sound to be pretty muddy in a hurry. This isn't meant to provide dance floor bass....

I was amazed at how small this radio is. I didn't think that it would work for me at all, but I was surprized at just how big it sounds. It has very good sound quality. With your eyes closed, you would swear that this was a much larger unit. The only fault that I could find with it was the low battery life. With a full charge, the battery only last about 4 hrs with the radio on. I looked for a power adaptor that would plug into the cigarette lighter, but Milwaukee doesn't make one. They make a charger that plugs into the lighter, but that just charges the battery. If they made that power adaptor, this radio would get a perfect rating.
