Vondior Emergency Weather Radio - NOAA/AM/FM Battery Operated Portable Radio with Best Reception and Longest Lasting Transistor. Powered by 2 AA Battery with Mono Headphone Socket, by Vondior (Silver)

I enjoy listening to cbc radio news and discussions throughout the day. Transistor radios are great when going from room-to-room.

This tiny WB/FM/AM battery powered radio is the perfect portable size. The set up is simple, just install the batteries that came with it, pull up the antenna, select the band you want, then tune to the station of your choice. The radio quality is very good and the noise level is very low if any. The features are very easy to use and understand. Nothing high tech, very similar to the transiter radios we had back in the day, but this one feels a lot more durable and solid. Not cheap plastic. I highly recommend for emergency use when there's no electricty.

Unfortunately they don't make them like they used to, I was looking for a reasonably priced am/fm pocket radio and after reading all the positive reviews I decided to order one, it worked problem free for a few days then turned itself off a couple seconds after turning on... It had gotten to the point where it would instantly stop playing a second or two after turning on, instead of dealing with the hassle of trying to return it I decided to cut my losses, upon hearing this my daughter purchased a 2nd am/fm pocket radio (in the picture, on left side) that also stopped working within a couple days after delivery , my daughter actually apologized for buying me something that didn't work, I said it wasn't her fault and you get what you pay for (and both radios were cheap in today's market), and I should know better and stay with a name brand known for quality... To my surprise she had purchased a Panasonic model RF-2400D AC/Battery radio that is fantastic, from now on its name brand only instead of trying to save a few bucks.

Radio delivered Feb 6 /23. Bought it to use in the bathroom; lasted 3 weeks, then sound got fuzzy, would drift from station and had to turn it on and off a couple of times to get it to turn on. Then it just died; tried changing batteries and rotating batteries; nothing brought it back to life. Amazon told me to contact seller which I did. The "Team" asked me to write a description of the problem; then they asked me for pictures showing the problem; I sent pictures; then they asked me to take videos showing the problem. I asked them what a video of a dead radio would show them and were they just trying to wear down my resolve? Didn't hear back from them again. Now I'm stuck with a radio that lasted 3 weeks for a total of about 4 hours. I bought it based upon the many positive reviews, but I will lean more towards name brand products in the future. I bought a Panasonic to replace the Vondior and it is working well.

Reminds me of a transistor radio I had as a kid Good sound quality and range for the price
