This is a substantial radio (nearly the size of a small shoe box) we bought for our kitchen. It's used every day. The sound quality is exquisite and exceptional to any other radio we've ever had. My only complaint is occasionally I can't turn it on - the buttons seem to freeze. I solve this by unplugging it for a few seconds - then it's fine but it's odd.. I didn't have program issues that other people wrote about - the time and channel set were relatively easy but I did have to read the instructions.
UPDATE: April 2016 - I've had this radio since December 2015 and have grown to be so disappointed in the mechanical quality. The sound is great - the design is great but it burns me up that at least several times a week if I go to turn up the volume, the radio's functions totally freeze up (and don't unfreeze without effort). Or I change the channel and it stops working. Unplugging it doesn't always solve the problem now. It's especially annoying when I hear, say, an interview and I want to turn up the volume and instead IT GOES OFF. I'm furious that I spent this much money on a poorly functioning radio. I read the negative reviews and thought maybe I'd be an exception. Well, that's obviously not the case. I'm very unhappy with it.

NOTE: The picture on the product page as of this date is of the discontinued older version! See my attached picture of the front panel of the current version 2.
It is a very attractive design.
The radio uses an internal AM antenna and the power cord is the FM antenna. The radio has connectors for external AM and FM antennas. I use it in a location that has very poor AM and FM reception. Even with the built-in antennas the radio has surprisingly good reception – about the best I've ever seen including Nakamichi and Boston Acoustics radios. I connected an external single-wire FM antenna and reception is excellent. I'll speculate that an external dipole antenna or possibly an antenna with gain would do even better if you are in an area with truly terrible reception.
Sound quality is quite good. Bass and treble tone controls give you some choice!
There are five preset buttons. They give you five presets each for AM and FM.
One alarm is provided and it can be used with a buzzer or any AM or FM station. Assuming a radio station is being used: The alarm is set using an onscreen menu that takes you through hours, minutes, frequency (once, daily, weekday, weekend), AM or FM, station or preset), volume. Push the alarm button for a few seconds and the menu starts blinking. Rotate the tuning knob to select a choice and push the knob to set the choice and move to the next menu item.
The time can be set automatically using the Radio Digital System (RDS) although in my area that does not work. I set it manually using the menu.
The display has 8 brightness levels including full off.
USAGE TIPS, mostly relating to the alarm:
Do you only use the alarm some days? Set it for a "once" frequency. The radio remembers the settings. When you want to activate the alarm just press the alarm button for a few seconds. When the alarm wakes you and you turn it off, it is inactive until you again press the alarm button for a few seconds.
Do you use the same alarm every day? Set it for "daily." After waking and turning off the alarm it will remember all settings and go off again tomorrow.
Do you only change the time and never want to change the AM/FM station or volume? No need to go through the whole menu. Set the desired time and stop pushing any buttons. The display stops blinking after a few seconds and the alarm is activated using your new wake-up time.
Design improvements needed:
Not a design change, but the tips above could be added to the instruction manual!
The tuning knob is shallow – it should stick out farther from the front panel so it would be easier to grip and turn.
When waking up the alarm can be turned off by pushing the blue power button or by pushing the alarm button (bottom row, third – radio or fourth – buzzer from the right.) A larger or more-prominent "alarm off" button would be nice.
The display really should auto-adjust brightness based on ambient light level.
Again, though, I strongly recommend this radio. The changes noted would just make it better – hopefully Sangean will see this review.
