Summary: Broken in under 6 months
Review: After 5 months the radio only picks up one AM station. The first day I had it I had just put on suntan lotion and the sunscreen on my fingers wiped all of the writing off buttons! Piece of junk... I give it one star.

Summary: A GREAT little radio for the money
Review: I am very impressed with this little radio. ...For the same money I could only get a bulky analog radio at [competitor]. This one has true digital tuning and not just auto scan. The digital readout is nice looking and easy to read and even comes with a light. 10 presets are cool but I wish it only had 4. To change from preset 2 to preset 1 you need to scroll through all 10 presets. But overall ...this is an EXCELLENT radio. I get great reception for all the major radio stations I listen to in my city. It even came with earphones!

Summary: Poor Quality
Review: I was very disappointed with the quality of this radio.
FM reception is poor, and inconsistent, especially indoors. If you move/tilt the radio, the quality of the reception changes.
Volume control is not spread out evenly, so for some stations, it's either too loud or too faint.
You must traverse the 10 stored stations to get to the previous station (navigation is one way only). And it's _slow_.
The plastic finish is very poor and looks no where near the picture above.
To summarize: It's a low quality, cheap (in every sense), radio. Disappointing.

Summary: Disasterous.
Review: Oh, man. I bought mine at a massive discount and it was still too much. Build quality is poor, most notably the flimsy door on the battery case, and reception in both bands is abominable. As an alternative, consider buying one of the excellent and slightly cheaper manual-tuning pocket radios from Sony or Panasonic. If you're willing to pay about $10 more, you can get a vastly better Sony digital-tuning radio with additional TV and weather bands (available from Target, no less.) Just thought I'd save you the trouble of buying this thing.

Summary: Can't receive FM
Review: This thing looks good, but does not receive FM stations at all. I have a small device can broadcast FM radio in my home, but even I put this radio besides the broadcasting device, it can barely receive the FM signal. It can receive AM, the quality of sound is not good. I am returning it.
