 frustrating March 2, 2008
i'm here looking for a different radio, because i've had it with the freakishly sensitive tuning on this unit. it is difficult to locate the station you want and then heaven forbid if a puff of wind should blow on the tuning dial! because you will lose your station! there are no presets which would make life much easier. maybe someone with more patience would have better luck!
 ALL FORM. NO FUNCTION. Waste of Money!! February 9, 2008

This radio has the sound quality of the one I made in physics class in high school--TREMENDOUS static.
Its hypersensitive rotary tuner menas that the slightest bump to the radio causes it to lose the signal. For that matter, it loses the signal for some unexplained reasons as well.
Pretty, with nice latex case, but if you want it to FUNCTION, forget it.
Poor customer service and unit February 4, 2008

Bought this radio in August 07. Noticed immediately that the FM tuner would not go below 93.5. I thought it was just a fluke so I waited. Within two weeks the volume started going very low despite turning UP the volume. After 3 weeks there was absolutely NO volume!! Could have listened with the headphones but did not want to do that! I bought this radio because of the name. I am sure the name is good as I have had many Grundig's that are still working however the company (eton, inc.) totally disregards the warranty. By the time I decided I did not want it any longer it was too late to return to Amazon (not their problem, mine). I found the company's web site, found a "customer service" link and sent an email. That was mid December. Shortly after that I found a "return authorization" link and sent an email (about one week later). Still NO response. I sent a repeat email right after New Years and about 3 days later got TWO emails from two different people on the SAME day, one cryptic for my name and address and one a bit longer asking for the same information. I answered BOTH. It is now 2/3/08 and STILL no answer! Nothing by mail that they said they would send me to send the unit back. I was going to go through American Express guarantee but it is not worth my time. Just don't purchase anything from ETON Inc as they are worthless!! And I don't want to waste any more time on this. Shame, $30.00 bucks down the drain!
great pocket size but not good FM reception January 18, 2008

I bought this little radio for my boyfriend so I didn't get to play with it myself too much. My first impression was that it comes in a really sexy box but the product itself is a little flimsy. It feels like it's made of cheap plastic because it's super lightweight. Major letdown once you get past the minimal packaging. This radio has an analog slider for tuning which isn't helpful because you don't get presets so you have to re-position the slider every time you change bands to listen to your various favorite radio stations. The biggest letdown is that this radio doesn't catch a wide FM frequency range. I like to listen to 88.5 and 90.9. The slider on this radio didn't go down that far! It was pretty disappointing that we could only use this radio for shortwave or AM stations. I don't think it even caught all the AM stations that my boyfriend likes to listen to. I ended up surprising him with the Sony ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM Shortwave World Band Receiver with Single Side Band Reception a little later since the Grundig was so disappointing. The Sony is bigger and heavier but it's still portable and it has amazing reception and offers presets at least. We don't even have to extend the antenna and we get all of the stations that we like to listen to with the Sony.
Not Worth It January 15, 2008

The question isn't the price; it's whether or not a radio with an FM band that begins around 96 and won't pick up stations across town is worth one penny, not 30 dollars. It isn't. Good sound for such a small speaker, though, and the sleep function is nice to have. But, I'd save the 30 bucks and use it toward a more expensive unit
