WizeBuyz Take
Overall, the Makita XRM10 Cordless Bluetooth Job Site Charger/Radio offers versatility and durability in a portable package. While it may be pricier than other radio options on the market, the added functionality of battery charging makes it a worthwhile investment for those who frequently use Makita tools. However, some users had difficulty with Bluetooth pairing, and one reviewer noted weak speaker volume despite the device's weight.

Pros
High-quality stereo sound from two powerful speakers

This radio offers rich, full stereo sound from two powerful 3.5" side-firing speakers, and users can listen to the digital tuner, a mobile device wirelessly connected via Bluetooth, or an MP3 player via the auxiliary port. It's also versatile in power sources, as it's compatible with 12V max CXT and 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries. For the first time, a Makita radio charges 18V LXT and 12V max CXT Batteries, and an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery charges in only 80 minutes. Additionally, the radio is built to withstand harsh conditions with its dust- and water-resistant construction (IP64 rated) and elastomer bumpers for increased durability.
