📻 Renewed Sony ICFP26 Portable AM/FM Radio for Enhanced Portability Review

I bought this refurbished radio. Suddenly the volume control started going haywire and the transmission exploded out of control. I sent it back.

I love the size of this little radio and the fact that it doesn't use a lot of battery power. What I don't like is the sound quality and sometimes the difficulty in tuning into stations.

I am sending this radio back. Unfortunately the volume is not right. It jumps from barely audible to loud with no in-between. However, the sound quality and selectivity on the AM/FM bands are decent. I'm not giving up hope and will order more and report back.

Got this from Revain and is missing a bracelet. The device has signs of wear, but works well. I'd rather pay 3€ more for a brand new one. But since it's a simple emergency device, I'm fine with that. It's big enough to put a sticker on the back with the weather frequencies for my area.

This was a birthday present for my husband. However, we didn't know that the FM station finder worked well, but long after we received it we found that the AM finder didn't move. I'm working on him finding his favorite game or talk show host, but we know our only station and find it with FM disc. It's annoying when we have to change it or look for it. I would not buy again. It was too late to get a refund or return it. Damn.

I'm used to listening to online radio but I bought this Sony portable radio to use when camping, traveling or when no radio programs are available online. I've tried other radios and they had problems with static and poor tuning, but this model doesn't have those problems. This radio has an on/off switch separate from the volume control. I'd prefer a radio where the volume control also turns off the power, but that's a minor issue. I like this radio very much and can only recommend it.

Very disappointed in this radio and as a result of this purchase I will never again spend money to buy 'refurbished' electronics from Revain. Out of the box it was in excellent condition. But as soon as I picked it up, I heard something dangling inside the case. Loose screw or component? Who knows? I don't live in the middle of nowhere but the radio only picks up 2 local stations in the town where I live no more than 8-10 miles away. This is the worst transistor radio I've ever seen. Because of
