Makita DAB radio

This radio is well put together and robust as you would expect from a make like Makita. However it is badly let down by it's speakers the bass is really bad and can not be adjusted. There are no controls to adjust the sound I'm any way. I would advise anyone to listen to one before buying. Read full review

Makita Job Site Radio

Fantastic piece of kit - strong, well built body, can be powered either by the mains cable supplied with it or almost any Makita battery. DAB so you can get a great range of stations. Clear sound and reception. You can save 5 favourite stations each on FM & DAB with direct access buttons.
Body is so well built and armoured it is rather heavy - but this makes it very stable wherever it is placed & it is even weather proof for short periods of time. Has a very loud base volume which could be a problem on some sites or in confined places. I paid £77 for this radio new & have found it to be an absolute bargain.

Great work radio.

Its got Makita written on it so you know its good quality. Easy to set up out of the box. Good sound even when up loud. Plug to connect your phone or music device to inflict your music on everyone else. Down side as with all DAB I find is when charging batteries close by can interfere with reception and some densely constructed buildings can also cause interference however this would be the case with any DAB.Read full review

Buy one

Nice solid well made piece of kit. DAB Reception not good because of where I live in NE Scotland and we don't have many channels. FM is superb. Heavy on the bass is just perfect for working outside but a bit much in a small room. Bluetooth would be nice instead of plugging aux in via a jack plug, but the additional aux socket in the battery compartment at least keeps the ipod/phone in the clean and dry.Read full review

Makita 106 DAB radio 5*

Bought for domestic use not as a job site radio. Easy to tune in, fantastic bass sound quality. Handle makes it easy to move to different rooms. Bought the white and silver model. Love this radio, highly recommend.Read full review

Marita DMR104

This is a fantastic dab digital radio with a fantastic sound, the speakers really pump out the bass at really low volume right up to high volume, this should put up with tremendous abuse, I heard it in a friends building site and I bought it for my house 😎.
As it is shower proof I don't worry about taking it out onto the patio for BBQ'.
The only downside is you will have to buy a Marita battery unless you already have one of their drills, as the radio only comes with a mains power cable.
So I'm looking for a drill now 😃

I like it.

It’s a great radio, the quality is very good, the value is not bad either, but the sound is something needs to be looked at big time. If your working in a big area that would be ok I think but in a house with small rooms the base is just over the top. I had to trim it off I couldn’t understand what there were talking about on the radio. Sort it out Makita.Read full review

A great workplace essential

Robust and reliable product. High quality and emits a high volume, clear sound. Looks shower proof even though I haven't decided to submerge it in water oddly enough. Lifts the moral in the workplace and I would recommend it to most outdoor workers.Read full review

Just "great"

I am so pleased that i finally treated myself to one of these site radios.
I love it, 10 out of 10 but, don't get caught out on the battery side of things, not All makita batteries fit this radio, check first to make sure your battery is compatible.Read full review

Perfect site radio

Bought this for work after being impressed with the quality and durability of the radio the brick layers got in work, they have been cutting up bricks next to it all day and use it in light rain showers with no problem at all, the bricky who owns it said he's had it for a couple of year and it's even been dropped off scaffolding 2 floors up. In a nutshell you get what you pay for.Read full review
