Review on Eton Mini Portable AM/FM/Shortwave Radio in Black - Improved SEO-friendly Product Title by John Murphy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The LOCK button is stuck so the radio cannot be used.

My first (and probably last) Eton radio. The "LOCK" button gets stuck in the depressed position, making it difficult (and probably ultimately impossible) to lock or unlock the radio controls. Very bad. It's a very nice radio and a quick check showed that the reception was quite good. The relatively large speaker also produces a pleasant sound. Too bad the building materials and workmanship have become quite inferior in order to maximize profits from these mass-produced items. And they charge FORTY dollars! Oh well! I really wish Sony had stayed in the game with some modern day digital radios, their world range units were the best. For small portable radios I would go with Sangean or C.Crane, they seem to be a much better design than they turned out to be.
