    I realize that this is a cheap radio, but the one I bought was not put together very well. The power cord would not go all the way into the unit. The unit would still power on, but I wasn't sure how safe it was electrically.

    Ok radio for the price but even though the radio stations show digitially on the face, the tuner is still dial/analog... wish it had buttons 0 to 9 to be able to punch in station directly, instead

    I bought it for the drive in theater so I can be outside in my chair watching the movie and it worked out great for me.

    This product was well worth the small investment. The excellent reception, ease-of-use, and AC adaptability, brought happy moments to a mundane environment.

    Straightforward AM FM digital shortwave radio. Well built, compact, portable, and great reception across all local and hgih range bands. Battery or power cord, and exactly what you need for those looking for basic radio listening

    This was a gift for my husband. He was very pleased with it. He claims it is working just as he expected. He really likes it very much.

    Sound quality is fair, picks up background hum, lacks power. Spend a few more bucks and go for better.
