Customer Review: BEST $5.00 RADIO I EVER BOUGHT
Summary: 2 Stars
Grundig sold out. Hard to tune. If it would have been $5.00 w/free shipping, it would be a pretty good deal.Customer Review: unfortunately terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
I own lots of radios (see my other reviews) and I had high hopes for this- Eton/Grundig have excellent reputations and I like some of their higher end units. This is very disappointing.
The biggest problem is that it doesn't stay tuned (a digital display doesn't mean digital tuning) rendering it functionally useless. If your station is super strong and it doesn't matter if it drifts from, say, 105.3 - 105.9 when you're trying to listen to 105.5 maybe it'll be ok for you. Then again, if your station is that strong, you could buy a $10 no-name radio. The size is nice, as is the very long extendable antenna. However, the name brand, nice list of features, flashy colors, and fancy packaging can't mask that this is essentially a cheap cheap radio not worth the shipping charges (I got mine with the remains of an an LL Bean gift card or It'd be shipped back).
Customer Review: disappointing

1. the sound is terrific. When you play through the earphones, the true stereo sound is something else!
2. The sliding factor. Others have written about stations sliding. Where I live is a very powerful FM station that plays talk shows at night, which I enjoy. Unless I hold the radio, the station will slide. It was actually unlistenable!
3. the SW picks up quite well, but also had the sliding factor. If you put the radio in a certain spot in the house and stay away from it, you might hold a station. But how realistic is that??
What I thought was a great bargain ended up another return....
