Review on Excellent Reception Battery Operated Personal AM FM Portable Radio πŸ“» with AAA Batteries, Stero Earphone, Large LCD Screen, Digital Alarm Clock Radio by Andrew Choukline

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product BUT in radios

This is a good product BUT. First, the battery life is not good at all. It has such a large display that it charges the batteries. The backlight turns on every time you press the button, which also drains the battery. Second, the screen scratches easily. It comes with a piece of plastic on the screen. I would suggest either leaving it on or buying a screen protector. If you keep it in your pocket while walking, it becomes a problem. Preset buttons are cool. Bought to listen to AM stations. I'm an old dog and I love talk radio. I tuned into a few FM stations to play some music, then switched to AM for talk radio, then back to FM. The presets didn't switch bands (AM/FM) and when you changed the preset number, the preset channels got mixed up. It's hard to explain unless you actually do it. This is very easy to miss. I am very satisfied with this product. It has some really nice features like station/key lock. This prevents unwanted changes during use. Snooze so you can turn it off automatically after a certain amount of time that you can set. I was looking for a radio to listen to while walking my dog in the morning. I only needed 40 minutes a day. This is a great little radio, but pay attention to what I've described above. I've only had the radio for a week and the batteries are already dead. This is a nice little radio and I would buy it again. My father really likes the size of the display and the light. He wished he had bought that instead of what he got.

Better than most large radios I've had
