Came across this. It is small, fits in falm, reception quality is good. Sounds are clear. Loud enough. Shows indication for battery ( red light) and radio channels (green light). It has one button which acts as off, FM and AM. SO, it's value for money, have good look, easy to operate. A charging function would have been better. Nevertheless, it's a good product. Wish , Indian 🇮🇳brand could replicate this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ आवाज़ और स्टेशन receiver भी बेहतर है l *by on Reviewed in India 13 August 2026* बहुत अच्छा रेडियो है l ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product is good and stable. *by on Reviewed in India 28 July 2026* Excellent ## Frequently Bought Together - PRUNUS J-166 Portable Radio AM FM, Battery Operated Radio with Tuning Light, Back Clip, Excellent Reception, AM FM Radios Portable, Transistor Radios - Duracell - CopperTop AA Alkaline Batteries - Long Lasting, All-Purpose Double A Battery for Household and Business, 4 Batteries, Power Remotes, Toys, and More, Reliable and Trustworthy - Portable Radio AM FM with Long Range Reception, Goodes Transistor Radio with Loud Speaker, Headphone Jack, 2AA Battery Operated, Loud Speaker, Suitable for Indoor, Outdoor and Emergency Use --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/464065742-prunus-2022-j-166-pocket-transistor-am-fm-radio](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/464065742-prunus-2022-j-166-pocket-transistor-am-fm-radio) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
