Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was looking for a compact radio to put in the rv and this was my styleSound quality:Surprisingly, this little radio has a wonderful sound! Very easy to listen to. Battery life:I wish the battery life was a little longer but it's nice that I can plug it in when I need to. I did play it a lot and the batteries only lasted about a week. Value for money:I think the value was on point.

I like the design - thinner & lightweightDue to my apartment and area, I'm somewhat limited in how many stations I can get.However, the stations I can get come in loud and clear

I bought this radio to replace a battery powered Radio Shack radio that had been in my bathroom nearly 30 years. This radio comes with AC adapter but also runs on four AA batteries. I planned on running it on battery power. It only gets used about one hour a day and the old Radio Shack radio would go more than a year on a set of batteries. The new radio stopped working on day 45. The batteries were drained.It's a good radio but plan on keepiing it plugged into an outlet most of the time.

Radio works well and is easy to use I gave it 5 stars . I live in a rural area and the signal is about the same as other radioson some stations , I would get another if ever needed

I like the digital tuning, rather than rolling a tuning wheel trying to lock onto the best signal. Has a nice sound, and has a high/low tone switch that comes in handy depending on whether you're listening to music or talk radio. Finally, it takes AA batteries. It keeps the thickness and weight of the radio down, versus a radio using C or D batteries.

Perfect gift for elderly / disabled folks not as comfortable with modern technology that just want to be able to listen to the news / radio.

I bought this to replace an old 1990s Timex clock radio in our bathroom. We like to listen to the AM news radio stations in the morning so needed something to replace the Timex, which gave up the ghost after 30 years of service. Likely, caps went bad but I wasn't going to go through a $20 radio to fix 'em.This model's radio has poor signal selectivity on all bands. Where the Timex would pull in AM stations noise-free, this radio tends to pick up the station, nearby cell phone harmonics, bad LED bulb harmonics, and Uncle Ted's stray thoughts. It makes listening less enjoyable that it should be.After about a year in a humid bathroom, the power/volume knob has gone wonky. You have to fiddle to get the radio to turn on. The power switch likely needs to be cleaned and lubed as its likely got some corrosion on the contacts from the shower-humid air.

The tuner string broke on my old AM FM radio, so i just wanted a good, cheap replacement. The clock on this thing is really nice. FM also works very well. AM? Well, I've heard better. But for the price, it's not bad. I guess. The shortwave is the problem. It never worked for me. I've had shortwave radios before, but on this, I got only static. I couldn't even get WWV. Good thing I didn't buy this for shortwave. The AM, FM and the clock are good.
