The Sangean PR-D9W AM FM Weather Alert Portable Radio is one of the best emergency communications devices you can buy. I love it.

Features I love about this radio: * Excellent FM reception * Fantastic AM reception day and night * Small compact size * Good full sound from 2 1/4" speakers * Tri-level LCD backlight * Good weatherband reception .* Weather alert modes work great so you can keep using the AM and FM radioโ€ฆ

Key failed after two years of little use

The radio sounds good, works well and has many useful features. The reception was very good and stations were clearly received even from a great distance. I used it about 10-12 hours a month in the summer and about 2-4 hours a month in the winter. Programming your favorite stations is a little counterintuitive, but you can get by without too much hassle. Unfortunately, after about two years, it lost a key ability: remembering saved stations (19 of them) when the batteries died. Now, when theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Out of fashion

I have had the Sangean PR-D9W radio since April 26th 2011 and am very happy with it. My wife enjoys listening to AM radio news in AM and I enjoy listening to late night radio (mostly AM) with surprisingly good reception even for more distant stations. This is our first radio with a weather band and I'm glad we have this feature. On a few occasions, the broadcast helped us understand local weather patterns even when we were traveling elsewhere. FM reception is excellent --- clear and reliable. I

Comparison between Sangean PR-D9W and PR-D7

I bought a used Sangean PR-D9W at a reduced price as I have owned a PR-D7 and have enjoyed it for 6 years. Revain placed an order for a used D9W and the unit arrived like new with all accessories and paperwork. Even the box looked like new. The D9W is similar (very well) to the D7 in design and build, but takes up much less space. The D9W has a locking switch that the D7 doesn't have, making it more suitable as a compact street radio. The D9W features electronic volume controls + and - on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Not sure

Product rating for seven years "lifetime "

I bought this radio (from Revain) in 2013. It has recently fallen into disrepair. I've read too many reviews people have written about a product that just came out of the box. I think now I have the right to write a review about my PR-D9W. For the first 5 years the PR-D9W was a great little radio. It packed a lot of nice features into a small package: AM/FM, 20 presets, weather band, clock, alarm, rechargeable or regular batteries, AC power, etc. It had excellent reception on all bands. It hadโ€ฆ

UPDATE: Downgraded from 5 stars to 3 stars

Please see my update after my first review. I've just received my radio so can't comment on durability but I have to say I haven't experienced any of the other negative reviews. .For example: noise in headphones or too much bass. I was playing music through the radio speakers and headphone jack (with headphones connected to my 5:1 surround sound system). I didn't hear any hiss and can describe the sound as full-bodied - not too bassy or tinny like most small speakers. Difficult to programโ€ฆ
