I recently purchased the PAGARIA Grenade for my mom, and it has been nothing short of a revelation in our household. This device is a versatile powerhouse, seamlessly blending the functionalities of an FM Radio, Bluetooth Speaker, USB player, and more, all while being conveniently rechargeable via a Type-C charger. First off, the sound quality is phenomenal. Whether my mom is streaming her favorite playlists over Bluetooth, catching up on the news via FM radio, or plugging in a USB drive with a selection of tunes, the Grenade delivers crisp, clear, and robust sound that truly belies its compact size. The bass is punchy without being overwhelming, and the highs are crisp and clear, making for an enjoyable listening experience across various genres of music. The FM reception is another standout feature. In an era where digital streaming dominates, it’s refreshing to see a device that pays homage to traditional radio without sacrificing quality. Tuning is precise, and the reception is crystal clear, allowing my mom to enjoy her local radio stations without the pesky interference often found in lesser-quality radios. Design-wise, the Grenade is both stylish and functional. Its compact form factor makes it incredibly portable, allowing my mom to enjoy great music whether she’s in the kitchen, the garden, or even at a picnic. Plus, the inclusion of a Type-C charger is a modern touch that ensures the device is always ready to entertain. But what truly sets the PAGARIA Grenade apart for us is how it has become a delightful companion for my mom. She absolutely adores it, often mentioning how its rich sound brings her favorite tunes to life and how the easy-to-use interface makes it a breeze for her to switch between her beloved radio stations and her Bluetooth playlist. It’s not just a speaker; it’s an experience that she cherishes daily. In conclusion, the PAGARIA Grenade is an exceptional device that marries quality, versatility, and convenience in a compact, user-friendly package. It’s been a hit with my mom, and I can confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality audio device. Whether for personal use or as a thoughtful gift, the Grenade is sure to impress.

As I view it, it's primary strength is its large display relative to its compact size. Song selection is easier because of this. PC connection feature makes it easy to transfer songs to the SD Card (as well as delete and rename files therein). Comes with, particulary, loop and random functions while playing music from SD Card or external device like a pen drive. Has a voice recording and playback function. Has a nifty keys-lock feature to prevent accidental pressing of keys when the player is within your bag or pocket and is playing music/radio. The sound quality is pleasing and the volume is adequate for its size. It is easy to increase/decrease volume and to turn on or turn off the device. The green coloured cabinet/shell that I chose, is a delight to watch. To be able to use it as an external speaker for computers, especially laptops, is a noteworthy feature, and will be especially useful when away from home/office. The user manual and the packaging material used appropriately complement this adorable product. Above all, the build quality is good; no rough edges; it is cute-looking. FULL MARKS for the product.

Pros 1. Good built quality, feels premium 2. Good battery backup 3. Great FM reception quality 4. Good sound quality Cons ( Very important) 1. Battery charge very fast till 80%, after that it takes more than 1 hour to reach 100% with the charger provided. You can't charge with other charger because it advised in user manual to not use other charger as it may damage the product. 2. 90% of the menu and other function is controlled by 'M' button, you need to keep using it for every now and then. There is high chance this button would wear out very fast as it is made of rubber. After that, using this device would become impossible. 3. You can't play random songs within a folder. For example I have stored songs in my SD card folder wise, like old songs in one folder, new songs in other and so on. But when I try to play random songs within a folder it starts playing random songs from all the songs stored in memory card and not from the particular folder. It is quite annoying and thus useless feature in this device. 4. On off and volume rotary button is too light to use. Even a small touch moves the knob and changes the volume. So if you keep touching it, taking in and out from your pocket or bag, you need to keep adjusting the volume. As this knob is so light to move, I doubt it will last for long. Also the is no other way to switch it on. 5. Sound loudness drops significantly when you play it through bluetooth.

A very compact good looking product. Found it very easy to use. Volume and signals are good. Used it with an usb stick and sound is good. Radio also works well. Really small and compact
