GREAT RECEPTION, GETS SEVERAL STATIONS ON AM/FM
This is a great AM/FM radio to take on walks. Nice size to fit in pocket or fanny pac. Good reception inside and outside, has strong built in battery but can also use 2 AAA batteries. Speaker is nice and clear but also bought headphones that work well. Also has a flashlight switch. I like the white color

Great radio!
Great radio! Especially for drive ins and weather updates. The sound quality is amazing and clear with no static in the background. Easy to tune and convenient size is great for travel. I also love the flashlight as it's pretty bright. The battery and lithium charger was a nice touch. All great for a low price.

Great little radio
Ok I wasn’t looking for anything super hi tech. Just wanted a little radio to take with me in certain situations.The sound quality is just ok- we aren’t talking about a Bose or JBL here. For that I only gave it 4 stars.Surprisingly pretty great reception, brings in alot of stations. AM/FM and has a handy flashlight too.Took it on a trip to a cabin in the mountains- NO phone reception (so no streaming your favorite tunes) but my little radio saved the day!About the size of a cell phone, comes in colors and you can’t beat the price.All summed up, I love it and would recommend it.

Great little beach radio!! Quit looking & buy this!!
Great little radio! Even smaller than my last transistor radio I use on the beach, that one was starting to have tuning issues and eating batteries. Wanted one I could just recharge. Has long battery life, used it all day, then just recharge every night.Does seem to need its own cord to charge even though other charger cords will fit. Blue light comes on when it is charging and goes off when done. Small thin cord so no bother to pack.Been using at fairly noisy beach, between people and waves, but sound seems fine and can get really loud if necessary.Didn't even notice before that it has a little flashlight too.

Fabulous little radio - perfect for power outages and emergencies!
This is a great little radio! Rechargeable batteries as well as you can add 2 AAA batteries. Sound is fine - not the power of an electric and much bigger radio, but works and doesn’t take up much room. We got this for power outages and emergencies. We were affected by the fire evacuations and wish we had this little guy to listen to the news and information (we had no power- didn’t even know there was a fire until someone called us). So now we have this. It even has a little flashlight. Tuning is easy. Clear sound. And you can plug in your earphones. Comes with strap and charging cable - no earphones. And I like the aqua blue retro color!

Love this thing (updated - lasted 5 months)
I got this to take with me to work as a mail carrier. I haven’t used it at work yet but I used it while doing some chores at home last night. It has a very lo-fi sound which I actually love. It’s kind of nostalgic from when I was a kid before Spotify and mp3s and we just had cds and radio. It can get VERY loud for such a small device. It’s a lot smaller than I thought. Smaller than a smart phone. The signal was pretty good. The only complaint I have is that the battery indicator light was confusing to me. It shines red when the battery is good. Likewise, the charging light is blue when charging and off when fully charged. There’s no green light. It’s just a little counterintuitive- I thought that something was wrong with the battery when that red light was shining. But it’s all good. I love this little radio!!Update: 5 months later. I used the heck out of this thing almost all day every day for 5 months. I plugged it in to charge and half an hour later smelled a strange chlorine like smell in my house. Welp, the radio was melting. Not sure what happened but the charging port got so hot that it melted the top of the radio and needless to say it is now dead and useless. Just glad nothing caught on fire. I hate disposable products and putting more plastic in a landfill, but I guess I definitely got $20 worth of use out of this for 5 months!

Love this!
I’m shocked - I was a little nervous about some of the reviews saying it’s flimsy - it is not in the slightest. It is very sturdy and I love that you can use rechargeable batteries or plug it in to a USB/USBC outlet. Great choice.

Buyer beware
I purchased this July 4th. It has already stopped working. I realize this is a cheap radio, but it didn’t even make it 1 month.
