||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The charger works. It's a little hard to get the soundlink on correctly (probably the same amount of time and plugging into the back of the unit).

Great idea, bad execution
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not come with charging cord. Thought it would be included.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDon't waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't waste your time and money over this charging cradle, I never found the purpose of this charger, I ask an associate what was the point of this charger, and he told me that I could keep listening to music while charging the speaker with this cradle, which wasn't possible only with the cable. I did try it at home and my speaker was playing music while charging it only with the cable.

Posted .Hi there! Sorry to hear your charging cradle is not operating as expected. You should be able to stream music through your speaker both on charge and not - whether that be using the cradle or the provided cable. I'd recommend contacting your point of purchase and seeking out the possible service option as this is unusual behaviour. Alternatively, get in touch with us directly, we'll be happy to assist with your issue - https://bose.life/38fMTSV. Sam - Bose Customer Support

Better used in disk golf
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Useless and wish I hadn’t of bought it. The speaker fits on the base in a very specific way, have to pick both pieces up and fit them together like a puzzle and hope it stays while plugging in the base. Total waste of money. The speaker can be plugged directly in.

Posted .Hi Riss, I am sorry you do not like the design of the charging dock. You are correct, you can charge the speaker directly using the port on the side. I am glad this works for your use case.

Poorly desigmed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The track to run the thin usb cable is curved and it is difficult to fit the cable through the curved track into the thin USB port. Why not just have a straight track for the cable. Completely useless

Don't buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't buy it. Cannot get the cord which comes with the speaker to go in. Terrible design. I just use the plug for my speaker. I wasted my money

Was not worth it...
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was difficult getting the cord to stay plugged in. I'm not even using this base. I found it easier to plug the power cord straight into the speaker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot impressed
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a Bose product I was disappointed. The craftsmanship is poor and you have to wiggle the sound link to get it to mate and charge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendnot the best purchase
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i cant remember the last time i used this thing. it doesnt charge any faster than normal, and is kind of a pain to use. it just doesnt make sense to use this at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUnnecessary
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unnecessary I purchased this item per recommendation of the salesman totally unnecessary for the use of this product I returned it they were not happy about my return
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this would be a good purchase but it has a few design flaws that makes me regret the purchase. It is pain to keep the power cord in because of the angle and the slightest jiggle loosens it. To actually place the speaker on the charger is also a pain. Even though it looks like you have everything lined up, chances are you don’t and it takes a minute or two to get the right angle. If I am spending $300 on a speaker I should not have to pay $30 extra for a charger

Posted .Hey,
Sorry to hear of your difficulties connecting the power cable. The speaker uses a standard Micro-USB cable - have you tried swapping it out with a different cable? It should fit tightly and securely in the charging port. If not, reach out to us. We'll be sure to help get this resolved! http://bose.life/globalsupport

Does what it claims
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is pretty straight forward. It allows you to dock your SoundLink Revolve without having to plug a cable into the Revolve, itself. You align the conacts on the Revolve and the Cradle, and it'll start charging. Sometimes it can take a moment to rotate the Revolve to get the the contacts to touch, but aside from that small obstacle, it does pretty well. Worth the price point? Not sure, but now that I've had it for a while, it does allow me to be lazier with cable-fiddling, but also lets my SoundLink Revolve be charged and ready to go. You can also play music while charging, which is certainly nice, but you don't need the Cradle in order to do that. In the end, it's a decent product, but the price is steep for something that doesn't really add much functionality—it merely improves a minor annoyance. Your money is better spent elsewhere.

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product but I hope it does not sale separately with the speaker
I would recommend this to a friendExpensive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive for what it is, but it does work. I returned it to the store. The speaker is not that great, though the technology is impressive.
