This radio is what you would expect from Coby. The radio is lightweight and nicely designed. The dial, on off and AM/FM switches are small and the printing is very small so I wouldn't recommend it for older folks or those with vision problems. This would be good for sports fans who like to listen to the play by play on the radio while at the game.

Works best when stationary, gets a little sketchy when I take it running. Very light and feels "cheap" but I have dropped it more times then I should have already but it still works perfect.

All in all I am totally satisfied for the price I paid.

I should have listened to the other reviews, but for that price I figured that I would give it a shot.

Batteries drain way too fast, maybe because of the LED light that is on the whole time, which serves no purpose but to drain the batteries! The sound quality is horrible and stations at the end of the dial bleed in to other stations, and you have to move the dial in the perfect spot in order to get reception on each station. If you listen for a long time be prepared to use up your batteries fast.

I'll be looking for something better.

This is really a toy, not a good radio. Make your purchase knowing that ahead of time. I gave it to the kids to play with.

It is under $10.00 for a reason. If being able to clearly tune in your channels is a must, stay away.

I ordered this little radio to replace a digital one that had been damaged. While I got a good price, and the seller delivered the radio quickly, I am disappointed with the reception on this little radio. It is difficult to listen to my normal station because of the poor reception. I will probably try to find another radio that has better reception.

We had bought several of these radios before from local store. Wife uses one all day, every day. Couldn't find any here anymore so went on line. Once in a while, one will wear out and with buying 3, she should be supplied for long time.

The reason I bought this radio was to take it when I walk the dog. I find that I have to constantly hold onto the radio and reposition it to keep the signal, which seems to fade out our dissolve into static every few feet. I don't know if this is from interference or what, but it is really irritating. Buy something else!

I bought this for my mother who likes to listen to the Red Sox on the beach. They get decent reception and good sound.
