This is an excellent portable radio which gives a good reception and is reliable and durable. This is suitable if you want a 3 band radio just for listening around the house or in the shed with a good analogue station range,simple to operate ,no gadgetry, & minimal possibility of faults(unlike more sophisticated digital radios which have more stations but can be temperamental,need internet connections etc.). Appearance is slightly 'clunky' rather than sleek but good sound quality. Not heavy on batteries so handy when there's a power cut!
