Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Vintage Retro Boombox - AC or Battery Powered Cassette Player & Recorder with AM/FM Radio, Big Speaker & Earphone Jack by Jessica Williams

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very bad radio function. Almost useless.

This radio cannot receive any of our local AM radio stations except one. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and this radio can't even pick up KGO or KCBS, the two huge stations in the area that cover the entire west coast. Tried both battery and mains. I walked around the house looking for the best spots but to no avail. On the FM band it was a bit better to get 3 or 4 good sounding stations, but for FM the dial is so "sensitive" that it was difficult to aim at the right spot on the dial. The top edge of the FM dial is so choppy that it's nearly impossible to get into a station on the first try. And for many, the 2nd and 3rd attempt doesn't work either. I haven't tried it as a cassette player, but its radio capabilities are complete crap. This one returns.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • No Insurance
