Review: Great Radio! - After Hurricane Helene hit the east coast, I had to go in my garage to pull out a big bulky radio (that used several D batteries) to get information when our power was out for days. With this, I'm much more prepared! It's light weight and easily portable. It works great and the price can't be beat. Very clear channels with hardly no static on any channels and only uses 2 AA batteries too!
Review: Great Reception, Well Made, Great Battery Life, Great Sound - Great little Radio! Curved design fits pants pockets well. Excellent reception. Pulls in many AM & FM Stations that stay tuned, do not fade, no chasing them on the dial once tuned in, great, clear sound for small speaker, long battery life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect portable radio
*by B***S on January 23, 2026*

Its a portable radio. It works and has all the traditional aspects of the handheld radio of the 70s. Nothing new, just reliable. Yesteryear it was available in any five and dime or department store. Today you can't find them. I bought two of these for a old man to listen the baseball game and one for me. I ran into another old man and gave him mine, it made his day. I had to buy another for myself., so I decided to buy two more. Maybe it's nostalgia of something simple made great. I cherish my radio and brings me back . Sound is good, size is just right. It takes two AAs not 9volt. I probably have to buy two more after giving these away. I wrote this review only because of the joy I recieved from this radio.
