 OK Strengths: TV reception is surprisingly good.
Weaknesses: Headphone jack is mono (one ear only).
Summary: The size and shape a of the radio is a little awkward. The handle has a sharp edge which makes it uncomfortable to hold. It is slightly heavy slightly heavy for size. The reception is pretty good, though, and for the price am very satisfied with the product.

Strengths: Great reception on AM/FM/TV;
Clear and loud sound.
Weaknesses: Can't receive weather channels;
A little bulky.
Summary: I bought this radio about 2 months ago and love it so far. If you like to listen to AM, FM or TV programs, you will not be disappointed. But I can't receive weather channels in my city. By the way, my city is Midnorth of USA.
As the other reviewer said, this radio is a little bulky. I put a small plant in front of it and it looks beautiful. :)

Strengths: it looks really stylish much better looking in real than in the picture. The plastic material of the radio body is smooth and soft. The audio quality is one of the best in its price level.
Weaknesses: the handle and the TV channel
Summary: in general, it was a great buy. It became my favorite among my more than 10 pocket radios. It is perfect for put it on computer desk or dinning table. The audio quality cannot be beat by its pricing level.
The weaknesses were the handle looks great when you were not lifting it up. The TV channels were not as good as I expected.

Strengths: Good sound and reception, convenient size for desk top, nice traditional look and tuning indicator, and operable on rechargeable NiMH batteries
Weaknesses: None, considering what I was looking for
Summary: I bought this radio for its size and traditional look, and the fact that it can operate on AC, and batteries during power outage. I set it next to my PC monitor to listen to some FM programs. Its reception of AM and FM channels is comparable to that of a Sharp boom box I have. The sound is quite good considering its size and the fact that it is a non-stereo radio. I can receive several TV channels and a few weather channels. I guess that depends very much on where one lives. I live about 25 miles away from a mid-size city. I use a lot of NiMH rechargeable batteries and was happy to find out that the radio can operate on 4 AA NiMH batteries (1.2 V) and I don't need to buy alkaline batteries (1.5 V) again and again. Now I use NiMH batteries for it exclusively.

Strengths: Good sensitivity and selectablity, battery or AC powered, simple interface.
Weaknesses: TV Band may become obsolete over time as TV stations make the switch from analog to digital HD broadcasting. Monoaural audio output.
Summary: I bought this dandy radio as a Christmas present for a relative, and must concur with others that it's a solid performer for the price. It has a solid feel to it, yet it's very light and portable with the built-in carrying handle. It has a simple interface--analog tuning, band selector, and volume and tone controls make operation simple for anyone to use. The reception is superior to most store bought radios, and is extremely good on the AM Band. FM is has good reception, however some may feel it is lacking because of the monoaural audio output. The 4" speaker has very good sound, and can be tweaked with the tone control selector. TV and Weather bands have excellent reception as well. Some of the other reviewers have commented that the TV/Weather bands are weak, however, some may not realize that the AC power cord acts as an antenna for them. So the reception for those particular bands may not be as strong when using batteries as opposed to being plugged into a wall outlet. Either way, the reception was sufficient. Overall, this radio is worth owning if you enjoy listening to news and talk programs or are a radio enthusiast.

Strengths: It has good sound, controls are easy to use, uses AA batteries and attached AC cord with storage compartment.
Weaknesses: None so far.
Summary: This is a nice looking and easy to operate radio. I really like the storage compartment for the AC cord and it is attached to the radio so it won't get lost. It has a nice large tuning dial with the band selector under it which is easy to change bands. For the price it is a good buy for a handy little table top radio.

Good Value
Strengths: Easy to tune using the tuning indicator. Sound is excellent for the small size of the speaker.
Weaknesses: Could be a little smaller. A digital display would be nice.
Summary: I was supprised at the performance of this radio at this price. The tuning indicator is a nice touch but I would have prefered a digital display rather than the analog blade and scale device. I would have been williing to pay a few dollars extra for the enhanced tuner and smaller size.
