I’ve had this radio. When I moved to a more rural location I have a lot of trouble bringing in radio stations. Any tips?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Elegant Design, Beautiful Sound in a Small Package

I'm very pleased with this very solid product. It looks simple and elegant and the sound is rich for such a compact radio. It's heavy and sturdy. The controls are clear and easy to use -- especially the orange light which allows you to see the strength of a station as you are trying to tune it. Highly recommened.

Love the Tivoli
on December 14, 2008

I recently purchased an "iHome" radio/clock/iPod player on the spur of the moment at a big box store. Big Mistake. The sound was terrible, tinny, with a low roar in the background. HATED IT. So I got online and did some research. My new Tivoli is great, with a clear and full sound. It has no clock (which I didn't want anyway). It's supposed to accomodate my iPod, which I haven't tried yet. The sound is SO much better I can't believe I'm still stuck with this iHome contraption (lost the receipt so can't return it).I like the smooth clean look of the Tivoli and it's very user friendly. I recommend this product as a good value for the price.

Awesome Radio. No Frills

We use this radio in our kitchen to listen to talk radio. It works awesome! Sound quality, clarity & reception are all excellent. I love the way the knobs and dials feel! Excellent Quality. I have not heard the same thing about other models of this same brand; only about the Model one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Table Radio, Cherry/Cobalt Blue
on December 27, 2008
Posted by: A. K.

Hi everyone! For those who are not decided, whether this one is the ONE, I would like to share my experience.I was asked to purchase a radio without needless features and a good sound (to my mamma's kitchen - didn't have to be stero either) and there was a "money to be spent" limit.I surfed through a lot of sites with applicable "music box parameters" filters and among others this Model One came out. I'm telling you, it was love at first sight! Even if it was not for me, of course I was hunting after a radio I would buy for myself, i.e. not a plastic case, rahter a piece of furniture with a bit of a luxury feel. This one fulfils these conditions!Last thing I did, when making a decision, was the color picking. We've got almost the whole house in shiny orange and this Cherry/Cobalt Blue perfectly fits here. There are a lot more colors with different pricing, a green combination wouldn't be bad too. I've checked pictures of all the other colors around the web, but for the photos have been modified for advertisement, the colors are not very realistic, i.e. you can see a good looking picture of one model and elsewhere the same color doesn't seem to be that fine! Cherry/Cobalt Blue looked good everywhere, as much as I can remember now, so I bought one..Packing - a solid package from cardboard with polystyrene inside to fill the whole box and to make a seating for the "precious". You put away the upper part of the poly and see the wooden retro beauty. It is wraped in a plastic bag or something, so you tear it off and you can start playing with it..As for workmanship, the pictures you can see around the web don't lie. As for the color of this model, it really looks as presented.I am from Mid Europe and this is a U.S. product so I had to use the 12V plug. The manual says 12V/800mA, the standard here is 12V with a bit more mA's, but it works fine too :).I like the sound of the radio, it is designed to be rich, of course it is not made for mad parties, where you can't "hear your own word". So it exactly fits to its purpose - easy listening while cooking or reading or working on a PC ;) Btw. there is a hole at the bottom of the radio for the bass to come out, really nice work!...To be honest, I am not into AM band, so I was testing FM only and dare suggest usage of an external antenna. There are some reviews I have read saying the reception is good or excellent, but no details were given regarding which antenna was used, that is why I'm telling you, I managed to hear maybe 5 stations using the attached external "piece of wire" and one station was fairly "listenable" (beware, I am demanding :). If it was up to me, I would connect it to a larger antenna, which would be outside the house or inside, but with an amp, because this radio deserves it :) My Mom listens to the one station and is happy with that. Of course the reception depends on where you intend to use this radio.There are some functions you can read about in the device manual, so I won't bother you with what can be read elsewhere.Last remark - the plastic buttons :). I would swap them for wooden ones. It is the only cons, but from my own point of view. Believe me, it is not a reason to not buy this radio, I just don't like plastic much...To sum things up, I absolutelly recommend "Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Table Radio" for use as described above, giving 5 stars from 5 and if I was a broadcast band listener, I would buy this for myself as well or would focuse on other models from Tivoli ;) Enjoy, Adam..
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Radio
on January 5, 2009

The radio was a Christmas present for my son and daughter in law in California. They have reported that the radio is excellent and they are extremely pleased with it. Very good sound and also able to plug in their ipod and listen to their own music that way. Can't be more inventive about this product except to say that my son does a lot of research before deciding what he would like, so I guess that's as good as it gets!

My boyfriend asked for this radio for christmas, when I just saw the picture of it I was not impressed, I thought that because it was so small it would not sound good. However ounce he turned it on I was surprized at how good the sound quality was onit, best I've ever heard.
