Pros) Nice looking, small size, good sound quality comparing its size, high radio receive sensitivity.Cons) All about sound quality - narrow frequency range, low resolution, prone to make white noise in some environment.
Well made with excellent reception. However after one week of use the radio developed a low level and rather annoying humming sound, somewhat like the old 60 Hz hum analog radios would sometimes generate if improperly grounded. Hum is present with the volume set at the lowest level and changing power sources makes no difference.
Everything I was hoping for: size, simplicity, and sound. However, the tuning ring marking for stations is slightly off e.g., 96.5 needs to be tuned to 97 for best reception. Small issue but felt that this should not have left factory this way. It cannot be fixed by simply turning a mechanical ring for aligning, this is an electronic issue.
Reminds me of the quality things the USA made back in the 40s and 50s.

Made in the USA. Sound is clear and is perfect for talk radio. The tuning knob is geared to be very precise and with the tuning light you know when you have hit the sweet spot. The build quality far exceeds my expectation. Nothing cheap about this radio.
My elderly parents could not find a simple straightforward am/fm radio with an earphone jack like they used to have. A salesman at a big box store suggested this Tivoli Model one Classic radio. They love it! It's exactly what they wanted. The compact size fits nicely on their bedside table and walnut cabinet matches their decor. The
I am old school and listen to a radio while in my office. I have tried a few but they all pale in comparison to the reception the Tivoli M1WHT gets! I set it to a station and don't worry about it cycling in and out of reception like my previous radio's. The sound quality is outstanding also, regardless if music or talk. I happy I purchase this radio and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
