BlueTooth is Worthless
4 years ago
I wish that I had read all of the bad reviews here before getting this radio. I am actually surprised that Milwaukee doesn't remove all these bad reviews. Why would anyone buy this? Well, Don't. The BlueTooth is worthless. If it works, it sounds absolutely horrible. I don't have an audio output on my iPhone so the aux input is worthless to me. This product is single handedly giving Milwaukee a bad name. Why do they continue to sell a product for so many years that does not work? Would they continue to sell a a drill that did not run? I will return mine for a refund and now I am reconsidering some other Milwaukee purchases.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Excellent Sound - Solution for Bluetooth
5 years ago
Actually the sound is on par with Marshall Portable Bluetooh speakers. which is impressive. Easy to charge a M18 battery as well. Bluetooth is easy to set up - You have to hold down the Bluetooth button until you hear a BEEP then you will see it on your phone. If you see a Bluetooth flashing (which you will if you just cycle through the mode button - it will not connect. You have to push and hold.. hear the beep then Milwaukee will show up and you are done. Iphone 8 + will fit in the top container but you cannot have a case on it. (Limited room for oversize phones.). Seems like Durable construction, feels Heavy Duty,
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bluetooth Isuues
9 years ago
Just purchased this radio, I am a big fan of Milwaukee tools in general and have quite a few Milwaukee tools in the tool box, love them all.
The radio sounds great over AUX, I like the USB port inside the phone compartment as well as the stand. Everything is great about the radio, except the Bluetooth quality. I am very disappointed, I could have purchased a much less expensive radios that did not have a Bluetooth function. Frankly the Bluetooth is unusable as it cuts in and out every 5 seconds. I am hoping that I have a dud radio due to the fact I have not read anything other review about poor Bluetooth quality.
ProsEasy to set up, Good Audio
Conspoor bluetooth quality
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great sound, iffy bluetooth, heavy/bulky.

I use this 4 days a week for 9 hours a day while installing pipe on a scissor lift. It's loud enough that I can keep it on the ground to charge batteries and can still hear it while working in the air but the bluetooth won't connect that far. It usually cuts out about 20' away. The other thing is that it's a pretty big/heavy radio, I used to have a smaller DeWalt radio which was great for scissor lifts, this one is just simply too big to bring up with the rest of the tools & material. If this was made smaller, or if the 2891 had an AM/FM tuner, or if the 2890 had built in bluetooth, I'd be a lot happier.

Love this radio
3 years ago
I have this jobsite radio for mostly "weekend warrior" work. Currently building a cabin up north. Bluetooth work well for about roughly 50' away from the speaker but normally I just keep my cell phone sitting on top of the radio in the little compartment. Put a 5.0 battery in and it works all day. Great volume control and fills the 1400 sq ft 2 story cabin with plenty of sound. Connecting Bluetooth a little funky but always get it to work with my iPhone. Also enjoy using it on our pontoon boat for summer tunes.
This has also received great comments from other people when used for tailgating.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Overpriced like a Ford Mustang !
2 years ago
English will follow
Au travail, tout le monde en ont un sur leur coffre d'outils, la qualité sonore est vraiment mauvaise et 95% des hauta parleurs sont déjà défoncés..
Le côté charge est bien mais il manque un port pour charger les M12.
En somme toute, c'est correct.. mais pour le prix, c'est vraiment trop cher pour ce que ça vaux.
----
Everyone in the shop have one of those in their kit, sound quality wise, it's really bad and most of them already are busted speakers..
The battery powered/charger is ok but it still lacks the M12 port.
Overall, it's just ok.. but really overpriced.
I bought this unit to serve two main purposes!! First was to use it as an additional batter charger. Second was to listen to the radio and/or bluetooth connected to my phone. The radio is horrible. Reception is probably the worst I have ever had. There are radio stations that I get easily with other appliances and have no issues or static. Not with this unit!! In addition, I struggle to get my bluetooth connected. Turn off and on my cell phone bluetooth several times in order to get the connected even though I have the unit stored in my phone’s memory. The phone has to literally sit right on top of the unit or no connection. At this point, I only use this unit as a back up battery charger. Pretty expensive purchase for that!!
No, I do not recommend this product.

good radio
3 years ago
I am in residential HVAC, so this radio gets tons of use. Radio worked great for just over a year, then the unit would not work off of the power cord just a charged battery. I took it for service at the "certified" service center and was told it was probably a transformer inside. I asked if they could fix it and was told that the radio/charger only had a one year warranty and that parts were not really available for it. Needless to say, I'm a little upset. all my company tools are Milwaukee and in the last month we've had a M12 impact driver quit after only a couple months use. In for repair, (wait time to get back will be 8-12 weeks) also a super hawg that's a year old that the trigger has issues. Not very impressed with Milwaukee right now.
Yes, I recommend this product.
