I have some other Sangean radios, and I like the sound. It makes voices/words clear to understand. I don't listen to AM radio much, but I listen to K-LOVE, positive Christian station, and I want to hear the words!
In my area, K-LOVE is on 88.9. When I received my fantastic Lunchbox radio yesterday, uh-oh, there was some static on 88.9. Well, my Sangean radios do a great job of receiving it, but it does require some antenna power. I put my fingers on the antenna and the static disappeared. I took them off, static came back, put them back on, static went away, etc.
I don't need to move this radio around much at all. I have it plugged in and situated and I love it where it is. So, I fixed the static problem forthwith. I took a rather long piece of copper wire, wrapped it around the top of the antenna, and trailed it to a vacant corner of the room. No more static!
I just adore the sound of this radio. I also adore the looks--it is my favorite color!
I like the fact that it is simple. I want a radio. I want it to be digital, because tuning a non-digital radio is just not as convenient for me. I don't need to power other speakers with it (it has plenty of speaker power!), or hook up an MP3 player or whatever. I didn't even put batteries into it. I did open the battery compartment and look in. Didn't need a screwdriver to do that!!!
Where you want a radio to listen to, have a bit of room to place it, and value solid, clear sound and durability, this is a great choice!
UPDATE:
I put this radio in a spot where I can listen to it at robust volume while grooming my Standard Poodle (that is a BIG job, and it must be done faithfully), and at soft volume while I sleep. Other times I turn it on at various volumes to keep that music flowing. It does me SUCH good. Helps the dog, too. We listen exclusively to KLove, and it really feeds my heart, mind, and spirit--and evidently the dog's, too.
I have a very nice small Sangean right at the bed where I can set the volume so I can hear it but hubby can't, and we can both sleep. It has superior dynamics for understanding words, and that is VERY important to me with Christian music. No real bass, though.
Well, this Lunchbox rascal has great sound with bass. I accidently discovered that I love the sound when I play both radios together. It's like a combination of stereo and increased sound range.
Well, this radio still has the copper wire, still working great in that spot to keep 88.9 clear. I decided to order ANOTHER Lunchbox radio to put it in the kitchen and play at the same time as the same other model of Sangean that is in the bedroom. The new Lunchbox arrived yesterday.
Well, first, it is easy-peasy to unpack, set-up, and operate--THANK YOU, SANGEAN!
I don't need it to recharge stuff, hook up various devices, or the other things some Work radios do. I need exactly what this radio does, and exactly the ways it does them! I even ADORE the color! It is my favorite color.
I was thrilled when I got the two radios playing together in the kitchen. Great, great, GREAT! It really feeds me in so many ways.
And, must be the difference in exact locations, but though I had the copper wire and clipper all ready to wind that around the antenna and boost reception of 88.9--so far, no need at all!
I am SO glad to have two of these radios, at opposite ends of the house! This is a great radio!

Finally!
Where we live it is nearly impossible to pick up any signal! Plus having a cinderblock/cement wall shop with a metal roof makes it even harder. Only way to get cellphone service is with WIFI calling with fibernet wifi! So I took a chance on purchasing this but after reading reviews I did. Keep in mind 2 other radios, different brands, were returned due to no signal pick up! He even gets his a.m. station! Happy hubby!! I think he thought I was nuts buying him this radio. Thanks for proving me right!

This takes only 4 C batteries, and if they are rechargeable, you can switch to recharger mode so they charge while the radio is off and plugged in. The battery compartment door opens easily with a screw/knob, no tools required.
Volume and stations are adjusted using dials, so it is quick and easy to do. Sound quality is pretty good for what I need.
The unit is squat and stable with a good roll cage to take any impacts or falls, but it's unlikely to get tipped over. The handle has a couple of holes that could be used with a bungee cord to hang it at the campsite.
All in all...love it!
