Sangean PR-D18GR AM/FM/Portable Digital Radio With Protective Bumper (White/Gray) Review

The radios fit well and the digital memory buttons for each station are very handy. I have to say I deducted a star because my kids encountered a problem within 8 months of use. They used the headphones a couple of times and then all of a sudden when they unplugged the headphones the radio kept showing the headphones icon and wasn't playing the music loud. You could only listen with headphones. I wonder if there is a reset button for the radio. Or if it's a funny bug. It would be nice to fix…

Bought for work. A local FM station cannot be received. The signal is poor even near windows. I attributed this to the computer electronics at my workplace. We are currently experiencing flooding due to Hurricane Florence. We couldn't get a decent signal during the storm, despite the glass panes at the back of our house and the location of the radio there. Still a bad signal even though the storm is over. This is the most expensive portable radio I have ever bought and the worst performer. I…

I bought this for my 85 year old mother who loves noises around the house. At first we both loved the radio. Mom isn't very techy, but I programmed the presets and she was happy with them. But recently mother discovered that the radio just stopped playing and displayed a capital "E" on an amber screen. The only way to get it playing again is to remove and swap out the batteries. And then it stops again after a few minutes. I couldn't find anything in the manual that explains this. Not to…

Liked digital tuning and easy tuning to five AM and five FM stations. Appears to be well built with passable sound. Four AA batteries last anywhere from a couple of days to a week depending on usage, but the AC adapter costs an additional $12.xx. Setting the alarm, either by buzzer or transmitter, was a headache, adjusting the alarm volume was an even bigger headache, and turning the alarm off was impossible - I've never figured out how to do it. If you just want a battery powered radio, that's

Many reviewers have already said that this is a great radio. When I received my device, the first thing that struck me was the excellent sound quality coming from its single speaker, both AM and FM. The maximum volume might not be that loud, but it can certainly fill a large room. As expected, the reception is excellent. A long retractable antenna helps a lot when you're getting a poor VHF signal. The setting speed on the main display is fast and you can see the display clearly, which is very…

I've waited 3 1/2 months to write a review because I checked how long the batteries last as there have been positive and negative reports on battery life. I used the radio for at least a few minutes almost every day, usually over half an hour and sometimes longer. Once I accidentally left it on all night. The battery indicator now fluctuates between one bar and empty. My conclusion is that the battery life is more than sufficient for everyday use. This is my 5th Sangean radio, all different…

I ordered this Sangean PR-D18BK as I was looking for something to replace an old camper radio we had in our upstairs bathroom. The previous radio had a digital tuner and clock, both of which were very useful. But the sound of this radio was too hoarse, and the tuning knob became very jumpy and difficult to work with. A light touch of the tuning knob jerked me up and down the dial, making it harder and harder to find the right station. I have noted all the feedback that complemented the…
