Long term review
on January 18, 2022

I want to do a long term review(2 yr & 6 mth later) bought this for my retired parents. Batt life is good, it takes 3 D size batt. Dial not working after 2 yrs. I just bought them a new one (same one) so hopefully it’ll be good for another 2 to 3 yrs and i can use the old one for parts.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s a perfect radio to get away from your phones and just enjoy some local channels with your family. It really is good quality for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Radio

I wanted a simple am/fm radio with a good sound. This radio fits the bill perfectly.
The sound is excellent and clear. It pulls in many fm stations even without the antenna extended.
Nothing fancy, just a quality radio.
I would recommend this to a friend!
