Review on 📻 Sangean DT-180 Portable AM/FM Radio by Colin Watkins

This is a great little personal radio with stable reception and 10 FM presets. It replaced the old analogue Sony I was using when I ran out and lost (of course I found it after ordering this one). But it has presets and two features (aside from being digital and having presets) that I really like. You can lock the buttons so they can't be accidentally changed by hitting something in your pocket, and by default they turn off after 90 minutes, which can be overridden by holding the power button a few seconds longer when turning it on keep. it's on. I would heartily recommend it. I really like this radio. ***UPDATE**** April 10, 2016 I really liked this radio for all of the reasons the reviewers noted: ease of use; Digital; 15 presets; Keylock. etc. So far. I usually take it with me on walks but today I wanted to use it and it was dead. I found it strange as I had only changed the batteries a few days ago after my last outing. I replaced the batteries and tried again and again it was dead. I checked the manual and found a way to reset it. This didn't work either. This thing is just dead. I can assure you this was not abuse. It hasn't moved off my desk since my last walk when it was working properly. So I went online to find out what the guarantee is on it and it's 90 days. Not only do you have to ship it back to them in California at your own expense, but they will be charged an $8 repair or replacement fee under the warranty. It cost $32 at Revain. Not the best buy if you have to add another $12. I am very disappointed as I really liked this radio. It's the weekend so I'll call on Monday and see what they have to say. I hope they have good customer support as it has been almost 90 days since I received this on January 21st 2016. ***UPDATE*** April 13th. I called them and the tech I spoke to said leave the batteries out for a day to see how it restarts. It turned out to be a much simpler solution than this. I use rechargeable batteries. It turned out that one of them was bad. It had nothing to do with radio; it works perfectly as always. I thought I put in a different set of batteries but I didn't so it's my fault. I would definitely recommend this and their tech support was very helpful in finding the issue.
