Summary: Grrr... all the hype...
Review:
Well, after spending a fair amount of time looking for a small, good quality radio I chose this.
I found it to be merely average: sound is mediocre - no depth; build quality is in my opinion, poor - the two halves don't join well and make it look cheap and plasticy.
Only five presets per band, which one can only access by switching to that band - id est, you couldn't have 198 LW on 1 and 91.3 FM on 2, etc.
The case is indeed an idea, but I found myself taking it off most of the time because it gets in the way - I prefer to stand a radio up and not lay it on its side.
The design is good - in a little picture on the net; it still looks and feels cheap in the hand.
For the price I feel mugged and will go for a Sony or Grundig soon and be done with it.

Summary: Gorgeous design
Review: A beautiful radio, the G2000A has sleek look - especially with its brushed, silver radio body and rich, caramel leather case. What works well - easy to use knobs and buttons. The digital direct tuning is a wonderful feature, where you just type in the station you want to hear. And if I don't know what I want to listen to, the scan/seek works well too. The radio feels very solid, but isn't too heavy to take on trips. So with the alarm and world time clock, it makes an ideal travel radio.

Summary: Don't do it
Review: A lot money was thrown away on a cheap, designer-label radio of transister-radio quality. I was looking for a nice, compact, quality radio which could also receive news from the various hotspots of the world. I researched numerous travel radios in all price ranges and various web sites: Grundig's G2000A was the winner. Not. First, reception on any short-wave band is non-existent and the lo-fi FM sound was an even greater disappointment. To date, hubby, master of all bathroom radios, uses only one FM station and occasionally one AM station. Worse yet, he still travels with his Sharper Image radio, which cost half as much and has many more useful features as a radio and, of course, its quality sound and reception leave the G2000A biting the dust. Finally, the G2000A's fine leather cover with its fancy logo interferes with operation of the radio, so it rests peacefully in a closet. Which Grundig design engineer fell asleep at the wheel of this feature?

Summary: A good little radio ... within it's limitations
Review: I bought the Grundig G2000A radio to be a light weight travel companion radio that doubles as an alarm clock. Within those boundaries it's been great. The radio also has sporty looks with the Porsche design and nifty leather cover. It picks AM and FM fine and has adequate sensitivity. As a short wave radio, it only serves to pick up STRONG short wave offerings. If you want to do some serious short wave listening, this is not the radio for you. It has old style spectrum seperations of SW1 and SW2 that do not cover the entire short wave spectrum. Most annoying was needing to make short wave entries in wavelengths vice frequencies. Most annoying indeed! I use it as a travel alarm clock/radio. It's looks are snazzy enough to make a fashion statement. It picks up any local station that I want. When I want serious short wave radio on the road, I bring my Yacht Boy 400. Shopping around can net you this radio at much less than the suggested prices.

Summary: Not the best from Grundig
Review: I have been a shortwave buff and radio collector for many years . I have a large collection of radios . Grundig over the years has made many good products ,however , the G2000a is certainly not one of them . I will concur that it is beautifully designed ,has nice leather case and the FM section sounds decent . The AM and SW sections are practically useless . Lots of interference and noise . Only can pick up strong signals and I have experienced fading on those stations . DXers should pass it by!

Summary: Cheaper price available...
Review: I just ordered one of these at GoodGuys.com for $99.95, free shipping, no tax. Why is Amazon so much higher?

Summary: No Stars, But Not A Category
Review: I now have my third G2000A, the first two having been returned under warranty. All three have (had)horrible AM sections which display considerable static on all but local a 50,000 watt station. Extremely disappointing and not worth purchasing.

Summary: Less than average Chinese made German Radio!
Review: I was so fascinated when saw the ad in a magazine about this
little junk. Sorry to say, but that's true in my case. Besides it's sleek & attractive design, is a piece of junk for the money. I never buy a short wave radio for FM listening, any cheap radio with a pair of earbuds will do that. I was totally disappointed with the product's shortwave performance. No more Grundig radio in my life. I even contacted Grundig headquarters
in Germany for the product's manufacturing, the pattent, etc, they made it very clear that they all are going down the tube.
The single star I gave for the design only.
