Customer Review: Works Great for my Tech-Shy Mother
Summary: 5 Stars
My parents recently moved from the New York metro area out to a more remote location, and they lost all their favorite radio stations. My mother usually likes listening to NPR while she does chores around the house, and so my brother and I set out to find a good solution. We read through every review written for all of the different internet-radios available. Price wasn't so much of an issue - we were willing to buy something high-end provided the product worked as intended and my mother (who is not the most tech-savvy person out there) could easily operate. After a few days of trying to decide which product to try, we settled for the Grace Wi-Fi Radio.
After taking the radio out of the box and plugging it in, we initially had some confusion connecting to our Linksys wireless access point. We turned off the radio, unplugged it, and tried again, and we haven't had a single problem since. The quality of the speaker is nothing short of superb, and the selection of radio stations is immense! My mom found half a dozen of her favorite stations and I showed her how to program them into the Favorites buttons on the front of the device. She's been using it for six months now, and just uses the stations she has in her favorites, so she doesn't really utilize the directory of thousands of stations. So if she had to go back and find the stations again, she may get a little lost without some help. But the buttons on the front thankfully mean she probably won't have to do that.
I just asked her how it's been working, and she said "oh it's so great. This morning I was listening to Car Talk while ironing. Sometimes when I turn it on, nothing happens and I think I haven't really turned it on. But I figured out that sometimes it takes about half a minute to a minute for it to do all it's little connection things and then it starts playing the last station I was listening to, which is great. I love my radio!"
If you're looking for an internet radio to get stations that you no longer have access to, this thing will do it well. The operation is very undaunting - for the tech-savvy individual you will be able to just start using the device. The interface is very intuitive and straight forward. If you find yourself easily confused by newfangled devices, the provided instructions are easy to follow and should get you browsing through stations very quickly. Setting favorites is easy - you just press and hold down the favorite button and the current station gets programmed in, just like a car stereo. Quality is great, so far reliability has been great in the first 6 months.
Like I said, we were willing to spend the cash to get her something that worked. The Grace was by far not the most expensive option we could have gone with, but in the end I think it was the smartest.
