I needed a small radio for the kitchen.I work in. We need to be able to hear each other and what is going on around us so the volume is just fine. We don't need to blow the roof off! I like the fact there is no Bluetooth so people won't be fighting to control the radio yet I can still bring in some CD's. Yes I'm a kid of the 90's. Easy to use and yes it is perfect for what I need it for.
