Gadget Review: Porter Cable 20-Volt MAX Bluetooth Speaker

If you have ever been around a construction crew the one piece of equipment common to all of them is the boombox. The tunes are the first thing off the truck and typically the last thing to get packed up. Some tool manufactures have played on this trend by producing tough-case radios and boomboxes for the jobsite. Porter Cable has moved this trend away from the boombox of the 80’s and has produces a tough-case Bluetooth speaker.

Porter Cable 20-Volt MAX Bluetooth Speaker connected to my android phone with ease. Within seconds I was connected to the speaker and cranking out blaring rock. The speaker comes in a sturdy housing sporting the Porter Cable logo and color scheme. The interface for the unit is simple to a point of almost elegance. There are controls for power, volume and blue-tooth on and off.

What I like most about the Porter Cable 20-Volt MAX Bluetooth Speaker is it looks tough. I have seen so many radios and boomboxes bite the dust on construction sites. The Porter Cable 20-Volt MAX Bluetooth Speaker is constructed to take some hits. However, don’t write the unit off as a construction site only tool.

The styling of the Porter Cable 20-Volt MAX Bluetooth Speaker is sleek. The unit looks nice enough for home or office use. I currently have the unit in my music room. This gives me quick access to high definition play back on all of my android and iOS devices.

The Porter Cable 20-Volt MAX Bluetooth Speaker retails for roughly $59.00 and can be found on Amazon and most major retailers. You can also find more information about the Porter Cable 20-Volt MAX Bluetooth Speaker on Porter Cable’s website.
