Great Value-arm band design could be better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for the price. The armband is somewhat difficult to put on and tighten, which a good fit is necessary since I use this while exercising.

Great buy, works very well
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Times have changed so much, it is hard to find a good radio that picks up all the AM/FM channels without noise. Insigna radio is as good as it gets, built like a rock. I even dropped it by accident couple of times, not even a scratch on the surface !!!.

Decent for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it to listen to Cub games while cutting grass and it works fine. Would've given 5stars, but clip is kind of flimsy and bulky.

Drains Batteries & Not Good Reception
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mini radio will drain the power of brand new batteries in less than 1 day of usage. I use it during the day while cutting grass. Even if I turn it off betwewn jobs it requires new batteries before a complete day of work is complete. Also, the antenna must not be very good. I can tune a channel in my car, & barely get a signal using this radio in the same location. I am not sure if this is a band run, or is the device poorly designed or made, but I'd like a bwtter radio and fo NOT recommend purchasing this. The price was somewhat low (especially with a coupon code used), but you more than lose that benefit when constantly buying batteries.

Mother
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not cost effective. Batteries last only one day. Even Duracell batteries last only one day. The manufacturers should have supplied and equipped this device for rechargeable batteries

Good portable radio with poor user interface
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Captures FM stations fine for my bicycle ride to/from work. But the 6-button array is indistinguishable unless you are looking right at them, making it hard to change stations. And worse, the 10-station presets only increment up, so if you want the previous station you need to click 9 times exactly.
