I bought this in November 2017 to (finally) replace my GE Superadio III that I've had for over 10 years... telescoping antenna accidentally broke. I live almost 50 miles from NYC, so to get NYC radio stations requires a very strong radio, and the GE worked great. Its drawback was the analog dial, which was inaccurate to say the least.
I compared various models from C.Crane and Sangean, and decided on the Sangean PR-D5. I don't need shortwave or weather bands, and I wanted a digital tuner, but I don't need anything else. This radio sits by my home office desk, and I listen to it while working. Worked great for 4 weeks, then stopped cold in the middle of the day. Granted, I hadn't paid much attention to the screen, so I probably missed the low-battery indicator. Was just a "PWR" on the screen and no buttons worked. The only way to reset this thing is to take the old batteries out, wait 3-5 full minutes until the PWR is gone from the screen, then put new batteries in. In contrast, the Superadio III would begin to fade when batteries were about to die, but it would respond instantly when new batteries were installed. During the 5 minutes without battery or AC, the Sangean does maintain your radio station settings, but apparently not the clock - not important to me, since I have clocks around me, but could be an issue for someone else.
The radio performs well, no station drift, and picks up AM and FM stations as well as the GE. But the battery swap procedure taking 3-5 minutes for no good reason cost this radio one star in my rating.

The preset buttons are very easy to program and I love the volume knob on the side, which is easy to turn.
If this radio had a rechargeable built-in battery like my bluetooth speakers, that would make it completely perfect. Otherwise, it's *almost* completely perfect.
Note: The picture looks black and white, but it's not. Our bathroom is white and grey!

Good looking great radio
By Mom in Alexandria on September 25, 2015
I'm not an engineer, but I am an avid radio listener, which is becoming an endangered species. I wanted a good looking small radio for our remodeled bathroom so I can listen to music and NPR while I get ready. The look of this is very modern and has nice clean lines, but it had to have good sound, eliminating all the cheap small radios as an option. I have two Bose radios in other places in my house, so that's what I would compare this to. The sound is AMAZING out of those two little speakers. Almost better than my Bose radio!!! Also, the reception is way better than the Bose, which doesn't have a dedicated antenna. You can see in the picture that I have the antenna extended a bit. I put the antenna down and tucked it away, which improved the look and didn't degrade the reception.By Mom in Alexandria on September 25, 2015
