    I cannot get the radio stations that I want to listen too. This was the purpose of purchasing this radio. I did use it to listen to severe tarnado warning information updates coming our way one night. It came in handy for that.

    I guess you get what you pay for. I found the sound to be very tinny and reception was hard to receive. It worked for me since it was only being used to have noise in the house for our cat while we were on vacation. I wouldn't recommend it for someone that wants good sound quality.

    Cute little radio!

    I like this radio. Does not take up a lot of space on my desk. I do have to move it to different spots on my desk to get better reception once in awhile but not a big deal to me. It is a cute little thing. I had a big boom box on desk before. Not the same great sound as a traditional boom box but still acceptable. On the other hand it does have a better sound than the old transistor radios from years ago. I would buy again

    Volume

    Rated 2 out of 5 stars

    Disappointing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The volume on the first radio I ordered cut in and out, and a major AM station in my city (KMOX - "The Voice of St. Louis") didn't come in well. It also rattled like something was loose inside, so I ordered another and returned the first one. The second works better, but I still cannot get loud volume for KMOX, and the volume has begun cutting in and out occasionally on other stations. I would have ordered a different product the second time, but I didn't see any other similar options. There were either pocket radios or larger radios with a CD player. I want a small radio to sit on my kitchen counter. Another problem is that I usually have to slightly adjust the tuner from one use to another even when listening to the same station. I don't know if I accidentally hit the tuner when I turn it off or if it doesn't hold its position well.
