Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really hard to tune this little radio. We got it for a drive in movie, so car battery wouldn't drain, but we were unable to tune it to the small movie frequency so it was useless.

Purchased strictly for the drive-in so I wouldn't have to keep my car stereo / screen on for five hours during double features. The reception is poor, and not just for the local drive-in stations. I could only get maybe three local radio stations in on the FM frequency. Returning to the store.

AM band did not work. very poor reception so it was returned

Top-heavy. Size ok, but after a little more than one year, the volume wheel is hard to regulate. Can't get it to a comfortable volume. Blares loudly when I turn it up.

Bought this for the boat to get updates during a fishing tournament aired over radio. Didn’t work out as would only get reception if you were holding it. Kind of wasted my money but was only $20.

It continually loses power or moves the selection and doesn't stay on the right channel. It's hard to find a good small radio. I wish it had bluetooth.

Very disappointed - poor reception. Could not get clear reception for any fm stations, even outside - very staticky. AM stations were a bit better, but also staticky. Volume is also rather low at highest setting. Bought to use during a power outage - and though inexpensive, it was not worth it.

Really basic, nothing exceptional about the product even though it is a SONY. Coverage is disappointing, sound quality is only average.

This was supposed to be used in case of an emergency, but it had really poor reception, so I had to return it.

A disappointing buy. Not that easy to operate. Sound quality is bad. Not easy to charge/use.

I bought two of them. I have a 20 year old SONY Walkman which gets better reception. Jack Kluter

I ordered this radio for my blind dad, so he can have access to listening too the news and music. I’m disappointed with this radio because once I put the batteries in,I can’t get any radio station ever with the antenna being up.

If I can give it 0 star, I would! FM stations practically inexistent! I only get one station. Volume control cannot go high without a lot of statics. Piece of crap. Will return.

Save your warranty information! The first radio worked for about 11 months, and then had to bring it back because volume control lost fine tune ability. The second radio worked well for about twice as long, but now failed, too, in terms of being able to even hold a signal. Expected more, much more.

Bought it for the drive-in movie -- so I could tune in to the theater's broadcast and listen in my car without the car radio draining the battery for two hours. couldn't ever find the station = no reception. then, with modest drop, the antenna broke off. A waste of money.

Wanted to use this during the hurricane season but it wouldn't pick up the stations I needed. Returned item.

The only reason I got a pocket Radio was to have "Made in Japan" - Disappointed

Was a present for my mom and was damaged. After 5 min on automatically stopped.

While the radio works, ultimately because of its size it is too difficult to tune and position for for reception.

Radio does not play well. You have to hold radio indifferent positions to get reception.
