The Bosch Power Box 360 seems very durable as evidenced by dropping it off my work bench several times while reviewing it. The Bosch Power Box 360 actually bounces!
I especially appreciate the Power Box's weather-sealed digital media bay that offers secure storage and protection from moisture, dust and debris. I can now safely take my IPod to the job site.
The power cord is beefy as is the aluminum and heavy plastic protective roll cage.
The Bosch Power Box 360 comes with a top handle but the roll cage functions well as a handle on any of the six sides. Everything about the housing and roll cage looks well made and rugged.
FUNCTIONALITY AND VERSATILITY:
The Power Box 360 can charge Bosch 14.4V or 18V lithium-ion power tool batteries and if no power outlets are available the Power Box can run off of any 14.4V or 18V lithium-ion battery. Which is ideal for outdoor activities, gardening or beach trips.
If users do have access to electrical outlets, the Power Box 360 also serves as a power center. The PB360S model features built-in four-way power outlets and will supply power to any corded power tools, other battery charger, cell phones and laptop computers.
The power outlets have a protective spring loaded covers and all of the plug-in ports and charging compartments have durable rubber plugs and gaskets.
The Bosch Power Box 360 provides it's lucky owner with many electronic charging and playback options; simply plug your IPod or digital media player in, close the door and get to work without worry of dust or damage.
If you do not want to take your media player to the job site the Power Box 360 digital media bay also features a built-in SD memory card and USB ports so you can play your favorite MP3 and WMA digital music files right from your SD memory card or USB thumb drive device.
The USB port also doubles as a powered USB port so that you can also charge most USB-enabled devices.
SOUND QUALITY:
My wife is totally into music and is the one with the music ear, she thinks this radio sounds fantastic. Me, I'm just happy to have music on the job site and a radio that I won't destroy.
The weather-resistant 4-speaker system and integrated sub woofer produce real nice sound in all directions with a whopping 26 Watts of sound output.
The Power Box's AM/FM radio with 20 FM and 10 AM presets, 4 preset and custom equalizer settings worked well and was easy to use.
My Ipod connected and played well with the Aux. cord that came with the Bosch Power Box 360. The provided aux. cord is ok but I have an aftermarket cord that is longer and better quality, [thicker wire] that I will probably use.
The Power Box 360 is a rugged and versatile job site radio and power station. It is the most versatile all-around job site radio I have seen.
I did almost everything the Bosch Power Box 360 claims it can do from charging my cellphone, to playing my IPod, to charging a battery and plugging in and using power tools. It worked great and as claimed.
The PROS definitely outweigh the CONS with the Bosch Power Box 360 but I would be doing you and Bosch a disservice if I failed to mention all aspects of my review.
I only had a few concerns on this radio and approached Bosch about them. the Product Managaer responded the same day with the answers. I'm very satisfied!
Speakers and sub woofer are weather-sealed (IP rating of 54) to withstand things like dirt, dust, debris and moisture (like blowing snow).
Research indicates that users prefer large knob dials, they are easy to control even with gloves on. During repeated internal drop testing there was a low degree of damage to these knobs.
Been using this radio outside a lot. Its loud, has held up well in all types of weather: rain, sun, snow and dust. I believe the ipod can be controlled from the faceplate buttons, definitely the volume.
just bought one for use in a professional kitchen.
all of our radios have broken down eventually due to high humidity, falling down, collection of grease over time, and just all-round rough behavior. i have a good feeling about this one though! nice review thanks!
The product managers at Bosch have not only been responsive to my questions but are also accessible
My power quit working. I tested the outlets and they have power, I checked the fuse, it was good and put in new AA batteries. the screen does not light up and I do not hear any sound.
So the battery want run the outlets like a inverter that would be good if it does
Are there iPod controls on the exterior anywhere?
Can you use the outlets off battery power? Or do you have to plug it in for them to work?
@@jrk__ I forget it was 9 hrs ago
Hi there! I live in the Philippines and was looking to buy this for use on the beach. Would you know how it handles w/ sand/moisture? Especially the exposed sub at the bottom?
What is the difference between the pb360c and pb360s
How long is the battery life?
I’m plugging in my usb to my phone and it’s not working. Any tips
This won't work. You'll have to put music on a usb stick
I believe plugs only 10 amps and saws are 15a
Can you charge your cell with only the lithium batterie
I haven't tried. Good idea to test!!!
the outlets only can handle 10 amps make sure u don't plug in anything that draws more then that
I cant charge my battery, it only plays when it plugged.
der.
did bosh tell u that it was a good idea to put the radio on to snow, use your head.
Mine keeps cutting off all by itself. What could that be ?
Same here...
Same problem...
I always plug it in
Kuna - we work in all weather. Our tools see snow
it would be great if it has any light
8 ish
bluetooth capability ???????
Buy an ion product.They even sound much better for less money.
I imagine range limitations of bluetooth and it's drain on the sources battery would make most people think twice. Though i'm sure Ion products are great in their own right, through my experience fiddling with bluetooth on a job site is a good way to get yelled at :P
In the snow FFS, otherwise good.
Так и не включил её!! Звук, похоже, гадкий.
