Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Tabletop FM/HD Radio's excellent sound quality, ease of use, and good reception. Many appreciate its compact size and the inclusion of HD radio. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and the lack of AM radio is a drawback for some. A few also mention that the volume and controls could be enhanced for better usability.

    Only thing I wish I could change is the volume level. Difficult to hear in a busy area. It's great if it doesn't have to compete with a busy area

    If this wasn't an open box discounted radio, I would have passed it up. But $20.00 for a decent HD signal made it worth it. Sound quality is adequate.

    This is an unbelievable battery vampire. It's exhausted 4 batteries in as little as two weeks, with 1 - 1.5 hours of play per day. Piece of garbage.

    Reception of HD radio limited by this radio.

    The biggest problem with this radio was the lack of a coax connection to attach an external FM antenna. The rod antenna does a fair job of receiving regular FM. The tuning of the HD signal was a little tricky as you cannot go directly from the non-HD signal to the HD signal. You have to go to scan to get HD instead of being able to tune directly to it. We need an FM/VHF antenna to get our desired HD NPR station on our other HD radios but could not do it with this radio.

    The radio seems to "eat" the batteries -- only had it about a month, use it (average) about 20 minutes a day, already had to change the batteries.
