Victrola - Retro Wood Bluetooth AM/FM Radio - Espresso

Wow! Some of the reviews on here weren't fair in regards to the sound. It actually really sounds good. It may have benefited from separate bass / treble knobs, but even with the lone "tone" knob, it sounds very full. The fact that it has a very convenient Bluetooth option makes am/fm reception issues sort of irrelevant. That being said, the FM seemed pretty good, but the AM seemed kinda weak. But again, with the Bluetooth option, i just use the app to tune in, and its perfectly clear. Bought one for my kitchen shelf and one for my parents for Christmas, as I thought they'd like the nostalgic look. 5 stars!

It is very hard to find a FM/AM radio so we were really excited when I stumbled across this online. I was very impressed as beautiful, has Bluetooth capabilities as well and it's really easy to use. It is not battery operated so you have to plug it in which we were fully aware of, but that is important to mention. It's compact so it fits just about anywhere. It is very simple. It doesn't come with a clock. It doesn't play any type of tapes or CDs. We were simply searching for a radio that display regular radio stations.

Although I gave four stars this is a excellent radio with some old fashioned flavor. It looks similar to a 1975 Sony radio I have except it’s smaller. If the dial had a backlight it would really take on the 70’s feel. The dial also doesn’t line up with the station. It’s not a huge problem but noticeable. The Bluetooth sinks with my IPhone easily and the volume is good for a radio this size. It’s a radio not a boombox so if you want deep base you probably will want to try something else. The antenna is also helpful for removing any static from the stations. Overall I am pleased and I enjoy listening to my favorite stations. This brings back a lot of memories!

What I really like about the Victrola - Retro Wood Bluetooth AM/FM Radio - Walnut it brings back good fond memories when I was a kid in the late 50's throughout the 60's what old radios looked liked and sounded like. (I even remember tube testers at the grocery stores and pharmacies for TV's and radios). I especially really like the radio knob and the station numbers on the Victrola Radio. Good sound as well for one speaker. My only problem is it does not pick up any Los Angeles, CA. radio stations or two or three San Diego, CA. radio stations. The signal is weak for the AM frequency. Just picks up the four local AM radio stations in my small city and one radio station the next county south from my city that is about 25 miles away. I have C. Crane Pocket Radio and it can pick up a couple of Los Angeles, CA. radio stations and a couple of San Diego, CA. radio stations that uses only two AA batteries. Just might be my location There is some blocking in my surrounding area in the building that I reside at and few other buildings. The FM frequency is very good. Picks up many FM stations, but not from Los Angeles, CA. Mostly local and a couple further up north. But still I really enjoy listening to my Victrola Retro Radio during the day and at night when I go to sleep.

Not only is it stylish, it's also got great performance! I can tune into local radio stations with minimal issue and the sound quality is clear. The bluetooth also works great and connects with minimal issue. Some may see the lack of a remote as a downside but I think it lines up well with the retro feel. You get up to tune the radio and you get up to change the volume (if you're not using Bluetooth).
