Technically, it also stands out for its great robustness, so you can use it in demanding conditions. A high-quality digital receiver is built in, which allows for a better signal and cleaner sound, and the radio also functions as a charging station for DeWalt batteries.

The device's special feature is its exceptional connectivity - Bluetooth provides a simple and stable connection to a smartphone or tablet, which simplifies music playback.

Same summary

The DeWalt DCR027-QW cordless and mains radio is suitable for users who want to listen to music or the radio while working in the garden, workshop or in the field. Due to the possibility of powering via an 18 V battery or mains, it is well suited to work sites where access to a socket is not always guaranteed. The model supports FM, DAB+ as well as Bluetooth and AUX connections, which is convenient for those who want to play their music from various sources. It is important to note that the radio does not include a battery, so it makes more sense for users who already have a DeWalt 18 V cordless tool.
