    It’s ok to clean your house and listen to music, it’s not really good for outdoors as the max volume is kinda weak compared to others at this price point, my theory is they put the max volume lower than most to save from damaging the speakers

      Hello DamienD, We appreciate your feedback. The maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet.

    This is not the best model. There is a fancier model. Have been watching the price and it has stayed the same since last year. Best it got was 100.00 off, even though a newer model is available.
