I like the durable design and performance of this Ryobi P742 One+ 18V Lithium Ion Cordless Compact AM / FM Radio w/ Wireless Bluetooth.
I have several Ryobi tools, and several batteries to power them. I use the 18V 4.0 Ah LITHIUM batteries, not knockoffs, original Ryobi. Using this radio to play music from local radio stations at about 75% volume a battery will last all day and half of the next, or around 12 hours. I change them after I notice them at 2 bars. I suspect if you use the bluetooth feature they might fade a little faster. Volume is loud enough to suit me, and the sound is good. With the weight of the battery at the bottom it is stable even on moving vehicles, not a wave runner jumping off of 4' waves...
If you want premium sound with a lot of adjustability this might not be the radio for you. If you want a rugged radio in a fairly small package that will run for a long time on a rechargeable battery you may all ready have then you should like this.
