    After Florence came through our area in September, we decided we needed a battery powered radio. And, as it turns out, when Michael came through our area in October we lost power for 3 days. The radio worked great even though it's small. The external antenna helped bring in stations loud and clear.

    We needed an easy to operate portable radio for my father-in-law to use while he was in a physical rehab facility. This radio fit the bill. Paired with a set of headphones he was able to enjoy his music without bothering the other patients.

    We purchased this small radio to be put in our emergency "go" bag. The idea is to have a device to hear news reports and updates in the event we would have to evacuate our home. This seems like it will fulfill it intended purpose.

    Purchased this for my 79 year old father that is used to fairly simple electronic devices. He can keep up with his news and radio broadcast shows the way he always has even in 2020. It has a telescopic antenna and uses 2 AA batteries to power it. My aunt saw his radio and liked it so I purchased one for her as well. It's also not bad to have one of these in an emergency kit like for a hurricane stashed away fro when there is a power outage. Should last a very long time because it's a simple device and quality built by Sony.

    For the money, you get a compact AM/FM radio with good reception in difficult locations. The batteries last forever and the sound is fine.

    I use this in my car whenever I'm sitting for a while instead of using my car radio, which drains the car battery. It's cheap and does what it's supposed to do.

    My grandson loves the portable radio since this is the only music device he can have at his live in academy, no cell phones allowed. This item definitely serves its purpose. It is handy and it provides entertainment! Thank goodness they still have a few around.

    This is a small and light FM radio. It is great for travel. It is loud enough. It uses only two AA batteries. The antenna position is a bit awkward but you get used to it.

    On FM works great, it is a bit hard to tune to weaker stations but not impossible. On AM works great as well. Not too much bass but very clear and lasts a long time on battery. Love the fact it takes only 2 AA battery's. Excellent value. Most favorite part is that it has everything that I want which is just AM and FM no extra unnecessary stuffs

    I bought this to take to the ballgame and was pretty happy with it's quality and sound. Only problem I had was the antenna - it' wasn't easy to put back in place even with directions so I ended up bending it - just be careful when you initially use it.
