Tivoli Model One BT big disappointment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Tivoli Model One radio that had been a gift, and it never got decent FM reception. It is a beautiful radio... the wooden case is beautiful, and the design is outstanding. But now if the actual radio reception was as good as it looks, I'd be happy. I just bought a second Tivoli radio, but with Bluetooth. I'm old...81...and I thought the Bluetooth would allow it to hook up to my house WiFi and I'd get internet radio radio reception. I called Tivoli and no, you can use your cellphone, pair it to the Tivoli Bluetooth and use your phone as the radio "Transmitter". Yes, it worked that way. But I AM NOT using my cellphone, wasting the battery and tying up the phone just to get reception on this pricey radio! I'm NOT happy and I don't like to send things back. I tried to use it again today in my office and it only receives very close stations...rap, religious, right-wing...but I can't get the NPR station that I get in my car and on my last boombox radio. This radio is more of an art piece, and the manufacturer needs a new electrical engineer. VERY POOR RADIO!
We have enjoyed an earlier Tivoli radio for twenty plus years. Still going strong used every day. So of course when my wife expressed wanting a radio for her desk there was no contest as to what to get. Went for the BT version because she listens to things on her iPhone. Great fit for her needs.

These things are heirloom pieces with a great combination of style and sound quality. Tivoli has sufficient color option/variety to match any decor. This has been a go-to Wedding gift for me as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little bookshelf radio. I have struggled for years to get decent radio signal but this radio with the ability to dial in a signal is a game changer. Wonderful sound , solidly built and beautifully simple. Very happy with this purchase .
WORST PURCHASE IVE EVER MADE- DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

We've only had this radio for less than a year and so many things have gone wrong with it.You have to unplug it to turn it off. The dial between AM/FM/ and Bluetooth doesnt work properly.Just recently our Bluetooth stopped working so we can't even connect to it anymore.Absolutely terrible!
