There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was aware that I was buying a cheap radio. So I wasn't expecting Sony, Bose or Sonos quality.
This is what I found:
The Good:
- Size. No too big or small.
- Has a handle. You can move it around without fearing you will drop it.
- Can be powered by AC or "D" batteries.
The Bad:
- When connected to the AC outlet it hums to the point that drove me crazy after 30 minutes. To muffle the humming you need to set the volume at 4+. This will bother everybody around you.
- One of the springs in the battery compartment will fall apart when you remove the batteries. This makes this radio unreliable. You don't need to become a repair man during an emergency. (This was the major deal breaker for me)
- Cable to connect to the outlet feels flimsy.
- The Short Wave Bands are useless.
- The radio looks like is unfinished.
Conclusion: If you're buying an affordable radio ($15+) that it's reliable with decent sound quality. This is not it. Do not waste your time and money.
There are better options out there:
- For $10 you can buy the GPX Portable Speaker With AM / FM Radio. (You will not be disappointed. I own this radio)
- For $15 - $30 you can buy several Sony radios just type it in the Amazon search box.

Do yourself a favour and don't buy this radio. Spend a bit more and get a Sony or Panasonic.
