    Very clear reception, easy to use, good sound quality. This radio works well - a modern version of an old school basic am/fm radio. We were surprised it worked well even in our screened in porch that has a lot of metal framing - no other radio could get clear reception - this radio works better than expected. We’re happy with this radio.

    I purchased this because it can be operated with batteries in case of power outages. I really like the turn dial because it allows me to tune into the station without static. The sound is fine and the antenna helps with picking up the station. Better than digital.

    Excellent AM/FM radio and better than Sony

    I compared my Panasonic RF-2400D to my Sony ICF-506 and the RF-2400D was better in reception (it picked up AM stations better) and better in audio (the RF-2400D has more treble which gave clearer audio for talk radio programs I listen to, while the ICF-506 has more bass which muddies voices on talk radio more). I think the ICF-506 dial is easier to read and the tuning knob and volume control are easier to use and the ICF-506 uses three AA batteries compared to the RF-2400D using four AA batteries. Overall, in terms of performance the RF-2400D is better and the ICF-506 is better in ergonomics, even though I am a Sony fan.

We appreciate your balanced view on performance and ergonomics, it helps highlight the strengths of both models. Thanks for sharing your experience and for giving the RF-2400D a chance! - F Panasonic

    Actually, this is my second Panasonic radio. I returned my first purchase after months of use as there was a problem with FM: signal vanished or turned weak if working for a while. I like this radio because its high quality sound and proper size make it a good companion of mine beside the bed. I listen to CBS, NPR, BBC and music every day; it has no SW band yet that does not matter in the times of cable TV and smart phone. It works for me requiring no electricity or Wi-Fi. At sight of resurgence of flip phone, DC, walkman and LP, there could be a possibility that radio set becomes attractive again; even that is not the case I still cherish the Sony and Panasonic radio sets I bought at Best Buy since they give me enjoyment, news and knowledge, more importantly the moment of non-disturbance and quietness with its unstoppable voice and sound.

    Was mailed promptly and arrived with all materials intact. I have been able to use it whether I plug it in or use it as a transistor radio. Reception is very good!! Very handy to use for someone who is active around the house and on the go, but still wants to stay in touch with what is happening in the world!!

    My elderly father loves to listen to the radio in his room. After purchasing several other portable radios which stopped working after a week or had poor reception, I finally found this radio at Best Buy. It's held up very well, gets good reception and is easy to use. The only downside is that the battery compartment is a little fragile and my father broke the cover off within a couple weeks.

    Everything about the radio is great, it's good at finding channels and has a cool design. One thing Panasonic can improve on is desensitising the volume knob.

    Bought mainly for power outages. Use it outside occasionally in the yard or shed. Very good AM reception. Local FM stations tune in clear while more distant stations, over thirty miles away, tune in good, but with a lot of static.
