" ... Retro little radio with adequate sound. ... "
" ... It is a cool looking plastic radio that sounds ok. ... I am a radio geek and have tons to compare it to regarding pulling a station and how it sounds. ... Sound is ok, but whatever I say here, remember we are talking about a $20 radio, so we need not compare it to a $100+ radio. ... "

" ... My Only Real Complaint: is my dial pointer is really hard to see. ... Change the knob and pointer issue and I'll raise all my ratings a full point. ... "
" ... The on/off volume knob became progressively worse in the first two months, and then it would not turn on the radio at all. ... "
" ... It first got so I had to wiggle the volume knob to get the sound to come on. ... "
" ... The dials are difficult, volume dial.is particularly sensitive and rarely works. ... "
" ... Only downside (and it really bugs me) is the volume on /off knob. ... You have to hold the radio with your other hand to turn on the radio and adjust the volume, (hassle). ... If the knob was cilindrical this would not be a problem. ... "
" ... The on off switch broke off inside the radio after first use. ... "
" ... There is no contrast on the station indicator selector dial. ... The on/off volume knob is smooth and small. ... "
" ... Turned it off for a bit turned back on nothing. ... "
