Portable AM/FM Transistor Radio with Loud Speaker, Battery or USB Powered - Compact Emergency Radio for Indoor, Outdoor, Travel & Storms (Model BJL-671)

I bought this on a whim, as another reviewer said it exceeded his expectations, and so far it has exceeded mine, too. Just a basic radio, analog tuning and only three controls, rotary on/off/volume, tuning knob, and band selector switch. Tuning in a station does require some patience; don't expect the precision of digital tuning, but once you get a station locked in, it stays there, and sound is unexpectedly full and rich for such a small (about 3-1/2-4 inches in diameter) speaker; it also can get quite loud when necessary. Reception is better than average on AM, much better than average on FM; I haven't had a chance to adequately test SW at night, when SW reception conditions are better, but will update this review when I do. Larger than pocket-sized, but still small and light enough to carry anywhere. I like that it takes a single 18650 rechargeable battery (supplied); also came with the charging cable. No headphone jack, unfortunately.

Sound is great for a smaller radio the battery lasted 12 hours and was still going strong. I turned it off and reconnected it to the charger when I left work. Only issue is the volume knob is really touchy at the lowest volumes. But I would definitely buy it again. The reception is great and the sound is clear, what more do you want from a radio ?Get one !

The radio is cool and easy to use. It has a strong speaker, so everything sounds clear, whether it's music or news. You can listen to AM, FM, and shortwave stations, and the knobs make it simple to find your favorite ones. The tuning works really well on the FM band, so I can easily get all your local stations. It's light and runs on a single custom battery which is rechargeable, so you can take it with you wherever you go. I also like the nostalgic feel of this radio—it reminds me of the old ones that used to be more common.

a great simple radio for its price. holds reception well and its very loud at highest volume. Small and light enough to easily take along with me at work. the one i ordered didnt have the two plastic halves seated together right so i had to pop some screws out and re-fit it

Received the radio in great shape. Packaged well. Radio worked immediately out of the box, good clarity reception, very high volume for a small radio. I did plug in the USB charging cable to charge the lithium battery inside fully. Instructions say to charge at least 6-8 hours for best results. I am pleased with this product works as stated in the description. If you need a portable rechargeable radio buy it.

THE RADIO HAS A GOOD SOUND AND VOLUME. ITS A NICE SIZE.I WANTED A BATTERY RADIO SO WHEN THE ELECTRIC GOES OUT OR FOR OUTSIDE WHEN IM DOING YARD WORK.IT HAS A GOOD SPEAKER AND THE KNOBS ARE EASY TO TURN. THE PRICE WAS GOOD TOO

Nice radio. Works and sounds really good!

Powerful radio. Compact but provides great service for our area of the US.
