Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Do you want high quality AM sound? This might work, if you're very close to the radio station. PROS: -- lowest price -- compact -- good FM, multichannel performance CONS: -- tiny speakers deliver tiny sound -- radio draws 10 watts of power either on or off: if plugged in, this costs me about $15/year for electricity, even if it's shut off. -- marginal AM performance: almost no AM HD stations during night hours; an HD station 4 miles from my house cannot be received in HD. Regular AM is good: much like any other $20 radio from Amazon. Summary: This is the lowest price. But consider spending $50 more for another brand. HD radio from a receiver with 4 watts/channel is never going to give satisfying sound.
