High performance for its size

This radio has excellent performance for its size. The only station I listen to (in English) in the nearby Virgin Islands is loud and clear. The sound is a bit metallic, but that's not a problem if you don't listen to classical music. In my experience, Panasonic has been a good choice for a long time.

Pros
  • Personal Radios
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Short battery life.

I bought this to use in a camper van to keep the critters away from winter visits. The battery has had to be changed too often for some reason, so remove it. I once had a battery operated radio in my RV that worked great and the battery change went fine, but it was accidentally damaged. I was hoping to find a replacement but not here. If you're looking for good battery life, don't look here. I also used separate batteries.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • not reliable

Problem right out of the box

I really liked this Panasonic set - small size, good volume, controls in a good place. However, after I ran it for a few minutes, it started shutting down. I'm trying to figure out if I can come back for a refund or replacement; but more effort than worth. At this price point ($20) it's essentially a "disposable". And since I've bought a dozen small radios of this type that either fail quickly or don't work from the start; I'm starting to get the feeling that the manufacturer knows the customer

Pros
  • Radios
Cons
  • Long delivery time
