Big sound from a small box
on September 2, 2024

I initially bought the radio because of its aesthetics. The silver and white make an attractive combination. When it arrived I immediately noted the solid construction of the cabinet and the pleasing weight. When I tuned to a station the sound filled the room. The dials move smoothly and pleasingly. Overall a high quality, beautiful radio well worth the price paid.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This small but might little radio sounds great. A huge step up from the radio in my old Sony AM/FM CD player. I love that it is compact. A great machine and affordable.

Seniors elder care purchase

This radio was purchased for my mother. She lives in a nursing home and is somewhat hard of hearing. I purchased a Tivoli because I know the quality of the radios have optimum sound and an easy to handle knob if my mom wanted to try and find a station on her own. I grew up watching my parents dance to Motown and early on, she and my dad introduced jazz to me and my brothers. It was important to me that my mom has great quality sound for whatever bit of music she can hear. She loves this radio. One of her CNA’s told me that some evenings they put on Spanish music and they dance slow in her room. This radio has brought joy to one room where a senior lives.

Waste of money

Could hardly get any stations on FM or AM, on a radio about which you brag on its reception. I bought a used Optimus single speaker radio that has clearer reception. And sure, the sound is good, but without built-in Bluetooth it's about useless when you can't hear the radio station. I can BARELY get the LOCAL station to come in, and it's 5 miles from our house! I'd heard about Tivoli radios for years and was excited to finally buy one when Grandpa's old one bit the dust, but this was a huge disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’ a classic, and mine has run reliably for a long time; I purchased another Model One for a friend recently.

This is the second one of the Tivoli radios I have purchased. The signals are so much stronger than the one I bought 20 years ago. It's great.

good sound but volume knob is too sensitive
on December 9, 2024
Posted by: Jeremy R.

Sounds very good, and the tuner is exceptional for getting hard to reach stations, but the volume knob is not gradual enough. It goes from too soft to too loud in the tiniest increment, so it's quite difficult to get the volume where you want it. I wish the volume knob was either bigger or geared like the tuning knob, or both. Also the overall amplification is too much, I couldn't imagine turning the volume up to even 50% of max, it would be ear-splitting. The designers should have considered older users who would benefit from larger controls and more gradual amplification.

Replacement

I use this radio in my kitchen,, it is on for about 10 hours each day. Great sound, perfect size for a kitchen counter. This version has some nice upgrades when compared to an earlier Model 1, which it replaced: a much nicer antenna, revised back panel and power supply. Less 1 star because the tuner is a little more finicky than the one on its predecessor (yes, I did read the FAQs).
I would recommend this to a friend!
