    The radio is very nice, but the on/off switch is on the same button to change between am and FM. Therefore, it is too easy to turn the radio off when attempting to switch between the two.

    Brought this in case of power outages and storms. Its very tinny sounding and sensitive to tune but its cheap and will get the job done. Hopefully never.

    This small radio is perfect for my needs....easy hand held or will fit in many shirt sized pockets (or back pockets). The clarity is pretty good with the antenna extended. Worked fine during the last power outage which is why I wanted it.

    I was shocked to see they still sell this radio . I gave it to my nieces and nephews and bought two for myself . It is a great radio pocket size and great for park, beach or if we lose electricity comes in handy. Please keep selling them .

    I really wished this would have worked but i couldn't get reception in the house so I returned it. Would have been nice when there's an electric outage.

    I drank the Sony Kool-Aid several years ago and have Sony TVs, DVD players, Cameras, and Lenses. I thought this radio must be of similar quality. NOT! I could not pull in local AM stations clearly much less a station 10-20 miles away. FM works ok, but I bought this for the AM feature. Tuning is almost impossible with stations that are close together and even if the station comes in, the static is unbearable or the signal drops out if you move, the radio moves, the earth moves, if anything moves. I hate to say it but this is going back for a refund and I will seek out an old transistor radio.

    Bought this to prepare for Hurricane Ian, and it worked perfectly. Good sound and lasts for ages on battery power. Plus it reminds me of growing up in the 80s. Love it
