Sangean Portable AM/FM Radio, White, PR-D7

This is without a doubt the best portable radio I have ever seen or owned. The digital tuning alone is worth the price. No more slide rule tuning by analog dials that always drift off the station. AM & FM digital tuning stays on the station without error. Alarm feature is nice. Set day/date also. Headphone jack and also auxillary jack to input mp3 player or Ipod, cd player, etc. So far the speakers are holding up very well and capable of good volume. Collapsable antenna extends to almost 3 feet in length. Uses 6 C cell batteries good for about 70 hours according to manual. There is no carrying handle but I can easily transport it to the bathroom for shower and grooming entertainment. It is not a boombox because that would be too big for my needs. I love this radio and so far, the only negative is that the case is white and I had no choice of colors or black. Oh, this little baby even scrolls the info delivered from the radio stations if they do that for their listeners. And once tuned the backlit display goes dark automatically to be unobtrusive in the dark. All great features with 6 station presets for FM and 6 presets for AM....There is a bit more to it but these are the best of the features.

I live 50m from Pensacola & Mobile & 125m from Biloxi. Pick up Very good signal for NPR from all 3, any time of day. Radio is fairly small & can take anywhere. Have not tried yet on battery but mine is marked: NEW-rechargable. I love it. A little pricey but rarely drifts so worth it to me.

i was surprised on how small it is with no handle or strap for ease in carrying . it's really about the size of a hard back book and it would be easy to carry as such. i have 3 stereos so fm was not my interest am was and to have next to our bed. reading about tuner quality of many different radio from several different sources i came across a tuner review on this one claiming it to be excellant and are they right. i live in the sw corner of indiana and i'm pulling in stations clearly with little to no drift from dallas ft. worth, toronto, canada, richmond, virginia, new york new york, etc. for people who enjoy talk radio this a very good radio clear sound and very sensitive tuner. p.s.ordered online late fri. after hours received it tuesday at my door. quick and easy from walmart. also have never used the batteries so only gave it an average rating as i had to rate it.

I bought this radio for my 98 year old mother. She has vision problems and will inadvertently switch radio stations because she can't see what's she's doing. This radio lets you select and keep stations like you do in a car radio. Now all she has to do is push the button for the station she wants. The reception is very good. The only additional thing she would want is a handle. I especially liked ordering it on line in NC and being able to pick it up in FL near my mother's home.

Note: We haven't had this item long enough to determine battery life, but will assume it's Good. My hubby had requested a "small $10 digital AM radio" for his birthday. Upon researching, I found that there is no such item with decent reviews. He had two criteria: 1) Digital 2) Station reach. After looking at a myriad of products and reading their reviews, I finally settled on this specific product. However, it was not available in inventory at ANY local retailer. I was tempted to pay the 30% higher price from a different vendor just to get it on time, but I figured if there were problems with it we could return it locally to Walmart. So I opted for 2 days late delivery (my fault for not searching earlier). When it arrived, he immediately popped in batteries and turned it on... he was ECSTATIC! He was able to tune in to his favorite station (700 mi away!) and the sound was crisp & clear (the antenna was even down & we were inside the house). Over the past decade he's had 4 -5 other radios where he had to wait until dark and listen to fuzzy reception outside. He absolutely LOVES this radio and now spends many more hours listening to his favorite sports channels with clear, crisp sound.

We have had the radio for about 1 month and it has worked perfectly. The sound is very good. Plenty of volume. It comes with an a/c adapter so you do not have to use batteries. It is very attractive and you can take it anywhere. Very pleased, a good value for the money.

I bought this because I couldn't receive a particular AM radio channel at night in where I live. The digital tuner works great. While there are still some statics, it is much better than my old digital tuner radio/CD boom box. It is quite pricey for a radio, but I would still recommend it for now for those in similar situation.

I bought this new radio because my analog radio had too much statistic whenever I tried to listen to the AM dial (especially at night). This radio helped to eliminate that issue on my favorite AM channel, but all the other channels on the AM dial doesn't work on this radio. The only reason I am keeping it is because at least I can listen to my favorite station on the AM dial.

A basic small portable radio with mediocre reception capability and a decent speaker tone for a small radio. Product is overpriced at nearly $80 pre-tax. Amazon sells same product for $55. Haven't had a chance to see how rechargeable battery function works.

it sounds OK, nothing to rave about but what makes it definitely not worth the high cost is the old fashioned digital display. the display is so skinny and faint, it's hard to read from a few feet away. all you get is a bright orange, glowing rectangle. i wouldn't even consider this as an alarm clock with all the light it throws off. the station number display is huge but the time display is tiny. I know what station i am listening too, but i want to be able to glance at the radio and see the time. no can-do because it's so poorly designed. i'm sorry i bought this radio, and i'm returning it to the local walmart. and no where on the paperwork or the box does it say the country of origin. for that reason alone, walmart should not carry this brand.
