Retro fun, works well, nice features. Recommended!
This little guy is a lot of fun for this old fart. It's basically a tabletop AM/FM radio, but it has a nice retro look, with faux woodgrain finish and actual dials to tune to a station, adjust the volume and turn it off. The sound is good for FM radio, but not so great for the bluetooth or USB connector. There are no tone controls. Still, this is not a deal breaker for me.The extras are nice, but not necessary to us. The sound is less good when connecting a phone via Bluetooth to play music. You can plug in a thumb drive full of MP3s to play, but there's no real UI to navigate or select the files. For me, that's OK, this is not that kind of experience.I REALLY like the battery, which works well. Sometimes when cooking we need to plug in a rice cooker or something; it's really handy to be able to unplug the radio and still use it for a while. Very nice, very simple.I had to laugh when we unpacked this at Christmas; my Gen-Z daughter was like 'how do you turn it off?' and I told her 'just turn the volume all the way down.' When it clicked off she had this look of amazement on her face, like she'd just started up a Model T or something! Hilarious, and fun.Highly recommended.

Pretty Retro looking solid radio
I love the look of this retro radio. It’s plastic I guess as other buyers have pointed out but it looks like wood and has some weight to it, feels very solid. I knew from reviews before buying it that it wasn’t real wood, that wasn’t a deal breaker for me and I’m glad I didn’t let that sway me from buying it. One of the deciding factors for me buying it was the fact that it can be plugged in but also run on batteries. I live in Florida and you know hurricanes, so for me that was a plus. You never know when that could come in handy. It was extremely easy to set up literally plugged it in, my phone connected immediately and turned on the knob on the radio and was listening to music within seconds. It found radio stations with no problem that came in good without the antenna up at all, for me I don’t listen to the radio really just my Bluetooth but good that it picks up stations clearly. It sounds good. I mean probably not house party loud good but I just want to listen to music at a reasonable volume and chill, also radios or stereos with the loud thumping bass isn’t for me as it is for some people, gives me a headache, and this seems good in that regard too.

Sound great but tuner difficult to center a station.
Sound is good high fidelity quality. But tuner is difficult to set. No automatic frequency control for FM. The pilot lights on the dial scale are blinking a little, when tuning.

Good product, I have 2 of these.
Beautiful looking, like the built-in chargeable battery to use without power.

Just absolutely beautiful! Sounds nice too
The media could not be loaded. Personally I love oldie looking tech with modern technology. The Bluetooth sounded amazing, though volume was a bit confusing at first it didn’t take long for me to figure it out.I like the instructional manual and frankly it was pretty easy. Haven’t tried the other sound waves yet but the FM one is pretty good. I have it tune to the Jazz channel in my city and I absolutely adore it.Sometimes signal wave can be a bit tricky to pick up though. Had to shift the placement and antennas a bit haha. It’s also a bit annoying cause the radio is needed to be placed by a window and if I dare move it a smidge away to clear my desk, it then start bugging.

Where's the AM stations ???
Read some other reviews on this before you EVEN think about getting it. As others have said the AM doesn't wrk at all. Sucks because that's the main reason I got It. Oh will, I got ONE MORE FM radio.

Daily use radio
We really like this radio. It's on FM daily and has good sound. Rural area here and still picks up distant stations well.
