    I am rating this 3 stars because when I told the associate I needed a speaker large and loud enough for outdoor parties, he recommended this model. There was no easy way to find out the wattage output when compared to the JBL or Samsung speakers in the store. It will work great for indoor parties but is clearly not loud enough for outdoor crowds of more than 50 people. I returned the item and will buy the much larger model. It was most-likely a lack of knowledge of the associate because he could not find much information on this device.

    This speaker is okay. We love it. It could be a little louder as if we are covering large grounds, it tends to fade. The range for Bluetooth isn't that well. If you are paired to the Bluetooth, you can't go inside with your phone while the speaker is outside as it will disconnect. The sound is good as it should be for the price and product.
