Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of C. Crane Sonido Radio
Customer Review: Exceptional Build Quality, Clarity and Receiving capability
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried two other radios before this purchase (Grundig and Eton) but they could not compare to the high level of reception, build quality and the audio clarity from the single speaker Sonido. I'm not a radio geek so I can't explain the technology, but somehow this unit just finds (and holds) any AM or FM station and fills the room with an amazingly high quality sound. I also appreciate the NOAA weather alert feature, batteries that seem to never die, and highly intuitive controls.
One minor con: there is no natural place to pickup and carry the radio - my finger invariably finds a button to press everytime I attempt to pick it up. Might want to consider purchasing Sangean's radio case which includes a carrying handle. Yes, I have big hands, so try it first without the accessory.
Customer Review: Great Kitchen Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sangean Sonido is a great kitchen radio. This is not HiFi, but it is big enough to sound great over kitchen noise. It is also big enough and designed well enough to be easily operated with just one hand as well as picked up with one hand without touching any knobs or buttons. A knuckle of an otherwise wet hand is enough to change stations using the presets without moving the radio due to its size and the non-skid feet. I should not forget the non-slip volume control. AM reception is outstanding. In a side by side comparison with my Grundig S350 (short wave), the Sangean clearly came in better when there was some audible AM interference. The only downside is that I would prefer a darker color.Customer Review: GREAT RADIO!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This a one great radio. The reception is awesome, even if you don't pull out the antenna. I came home one day and my husband had it playing on the porch, I thought he had the home stereo system playing, it sounded so good.
This radio was purchased as a job radio, on construction sites. It is a nice compact size and you don't have to pull out the antenna to get any station you want. A broken off antenna was the reason we replaced the last stereo. The fact that it gets TV stations is a bonus. If my husband works late, he can always hear the news. This is a great radio. It is small and compact, has great sound and the best reception. We love this radio!!
Customer Review: Great radio, great design
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio is smartly designed, aesthetically pleasing, and super-functional. Crystal-clear reception (even AM), even in areas of my apartment where cell-phone reception is spotty. The manual is well written and edited, it takes 10 minutes to go through the whole thing and figure out how to use every function of the radio with confidence.
I work at a design museum, and am sort of programmed to see and evaluate form and function in all things around me. This radio is one of the nicest-looking and best-designed objects I've come across in a long time. Very highly recommended.
Customer Review: AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great - not difficult to operate at all, nice and compact and sturdy. I didn't know (and probably didn't read it) that the display is only lit when you hit a button ... in other words, you can't see the time in the dark if you're in the room until you actually walk over to the unit and hit the correct button on the front to enable the amber back-light to see time, station, etc. However, that's the only drawback. The sound quality is amazing - I would definately recommend to a friend and/or would purchase as a gift.
