Review: This radio is awesome considering price and the crisp, clear sound it makes. Receiver sensitivity is very good and controls are well thought out for user friendliness and function. Read the included owner manual because at first the various buttons seemed odd. After a couple minutes though, I realized what the designer had in mind and it's nicely done. All bands work equally well, depending of course upon your location. A specially designed single wire auxillary antenna is included and if reception isn't ideal for your needs use this! An alligator clip on one end clamps to the base of the telescopic antenna. The far end is configured in a small loop which has a metal sleeve over the wire loop and with a bit of experimental positioning your reception becomes perfect with no status whatsoever on the Fm band. At least in my experience. I mainly listen to 2 college radio stations which by definition are of much lower power unlike the commercial stations running 50,000 watts so this can be an example of how good the radio pulls in and locks onto signals. The Am and shortwave bands both received well also but small amounts of static will be present as is the nature of those formas of propagation. That said, I have had many other more expensive radios which some signals just fade in and out or we're simply not enjoyable to listen to. Being an amateur radio licensee, I have several expensive radios for many varied bands and modes so I have a bit of experience with bringing in radio signals. For the price point of ZHIWHIS PORTABLE RADIO, AM, FM STEREO, SHORTWAVE RADIO and it's very nice sound, and also the seemingly high quality build and included aux. antenna, and rechargeable USB battery, I can easily recommend to those who would appreciate a good looking, well functioning and great sounding radio. Best Luck and Happy Listening.
Review: This is a decent tiny multiband, with a few disadvantages, and some very nice features at the price. I won't mention the price I paid, but it had a coupon when I got mine from desertcart, and it cost less than two takeout lunch specials from the Greek place nearby. A heck of a good price, IMO. Disadvantages: Battery life was mentioned. After a full charge, two hours drops the battery indicator on mine from 3 to 2 bars. Not terrible, IMO. YMMV. The printed manual that came with the radio is very small and it could be more helpful. I can't find a better manual online. The control buttons are small and not as self-explanatory as on some small radios. It appears that the radio battery does not charge, even plugged in, when the radio is on. I'm not certain of that yet, but if true it would mean you can't leave it on 24.7 on "alert" mode. The negatives seem very minor to me, at the very low price. (Can I say in a review that it was <$17 when I bought it?) It is not a good choice if you want to listen to AM broadcasts on 540-1610kHz, due to the 'tuning step' issue in the next paragraph. Is the tuning step adjustable? The AM band has the 9kHz tuning steps standard in much of the world, but the USA has 10kHz steps between stations so the tuning isn't perfect if you listen to much AM radio. If AM radio is your desire, this isn't a good choice. The tuner problem for me is that it has 25kHz spacing on VHF NBFM. So: I wanted this radio to hear the trains when they pass about a mile from my house. I find it interesting to hear the discussions. A good freq for this is the CSX 160.410MHz. This radio as it came will *not* tune that. It'll tune 160.000, 160.250, 160.050, 160.055, etc. Tuning to 160.050 slightly hears 160.410 when the signals are strong, though the sound is slightly distorted. SO if it is important to you to be able to dial 5kHz steps on VHF (which may be possible with a secret menu item or a software upgrade, but I can't find any info on that.) And 1kHz (or less) would be nice on SW. If the step issue isn't important to you (it's not to me), this radio might not be a bad choice. At this price, I'm pleased enough with this radio to keep it, absolutely. Advantages: It has pretty good sensitivity everywhere except shortwave, where the included clip-on wire antenna helps considerably. Using extra antenna makes the radio more sensitive to front-end overload, of course, but you can use the antenna or not, whichever suits the situation. The very powerful SW stations come in fairly well even on the little built-in antenna (I'm hoping to use this to listen to baseball in Spanish on shortwave Radio Marti when it shows back up.) The radio is SMALL. Shirt-pocket size. (And of course that means the battery has to be very small--a tradeoff.) Easy to carry anywhere. The internal speaker is much better than I expected it to be--the local classical FM station sounds remarkably good despite the small speaker. There's a one-touch "mute audio" button--convenient. It has a "sleep" feature with adjustable times. Having the VHF weather 24/7 is a really good idea--and this radio also has the 'alert' feature, which is a *real* positive IMO. And my own "tuning steps" example--there are still plenty of frequencies in VHF this radio *will* receive, and I expect to use it for that, absolutely. And USB charging is normal these days but it's still an advantage in that you have many recharging sources virtually anywhere you go. For most people, people who use multiband radios for various porpoises can hardly go wrong with such a nice little radio at a surprisingly low price (less than 5 gallons of gas, right here right now). Tiny, good sound, decent sensitivity, weather alert--as my mother in law used to say, "What's not to love?"

Very well built radio. Quality speaker and I really like that it is rechargeable. Bluetooth would make it perfect.
