Bought this for my shop, since I like to have my music close I thought the plugs on the side would be a great addition.
The sounds is decent, but I wouldn't try to ramp up a dance party with it. It has solid reception, and with an aux cord you can plug in your phone or other media player and listen to your music from it which is nice. The plugs on the side easily power most tools I've tried, but I wouldn't plug in a welder since it may not handle the amperage needed. The plug for the stereo feels very thick and durable as well which surprised me.
To the meat of it, this stereo is great as a shop stereo, or for camping. If you buy the separate battery it's a solid choice for dragging out to the campfire or the beach, You can sit on it, or stack stuff on it without fear of it breaking. I've actually used it as a stool in a pinch one day and I'm 240 pounds.
If i were to buy a durable radio again, I'd go with the next model up when on sale.
Pros : Decent sound, aux hook ups for media players, very durable and water resistant, and the plugs are fantastic.
Cons : Could sound better for the price, could have been a bit more modern with it's ports for audio connections, and the optional battery should have been included.
