This radio does not receive FM stations in the United States. If you're living in Europe you might be interested, but the radio that I received only gets AM stations. Very disappointed.
 Outstanding radio! August 21, 2010

I searched for a new shower radio for a while, and after reading the reviews on Amazon, I decided to purchase the Sangean. I'm not disappointed. This radio lived up to the hype. Reception could be a touch better, but I'm using the radio with the FM antenna still stowed. I recommend this radio!!!
Best quality you can find; solid and built to last a lifetime August 11, 2010

The first thing I noticed when this arrived was how solidly it was packaged, and then how solid and slick the plastic is. It is compact, but for it's size it was far heavier than I expected. Most electronics today are flimsy, and this it definitely not flimsy. It reminded me how sturdy things used to be made; it wasn't long before I realized it was not overpriced at all. It feels like there is no hollow space inside, and it's light enough I mounted it onto the wall without concern to stud placement.
My 13 yr old told me this was her favorite Christmas gift last year (no joke). The sound quality is impeccable. I have never needed the antenna (soft wire type - stores neatly in the battery compartment); glad it doesn't have the chrome telescoping type that breaks off easily. Ours is mounted in the center of the house, and we haven't taken the antenna out; I'm happy it's out of sight. It looks very modern and upscale.
I am frankly amazed how long the batteries last; the (2) D-size batteries last 7 months, and that's with at least 1-hour per day usage (loud); I am underestimating as we actually use it a lot more than that. We use it at the park, lake, on picnics, while gardening, in the garage, on the patio, camping, track meets etc.
I think the only feature they should have included is an alarm clock. The siren/alert is very loud (for safety), and it would have been a very effective sound for an alarm clock. Since they included a sleep timer it would be a selling point. The bright built-in flashlight is also a nice bonus for this radio. I always know if the power goes out all the flashlights in the house will be lost or dead, so this is what I intend to use in an emergency. It is a thoughtful safety feature.
At first I felt this was a bit pricey, but I challenge you to find a model with comparable features at this level of quality; this is the most solid piece of electronics I have owned in all my life, no exaggeration. This is worth every penny, and more. I was a Sony loyalist, but today I am searching for other Sangean products. I am hopeful they sell an alarm clock.
Hey if it makes a teenage girl happy, it's got to be great, right?

I bought this radio a month ago, is super nice looking, amazing battery life, the only thing is that I will prefer a Stereo sound, is very good as it is but could be better... BUY IT!
Can't find anything wrong with it July 24, 2010

I love this radio. I have had it for 7 or 8 months now, and I still love it as much as I did on the first day. It looks kind of lame, like it's from the 70's or 80's, but that's the only thing that's less than perfect. It gets great reception, it's as durable as a rock (it will float and operate when put in water), the handle makes it easy to hang almost anywhere, and the volume is loud enough for any bathroom (unless you have a ridiculously large bathroom). I can hear the music all the way in my bedroom, which is down and across the hallway. 4 different people shower in this bathroom every day, and we all use the radio. The battery display still shows full strength after all this time, and I have yet to replace the batteries. As I try to think of a negative comment (just to be fair) I can't. I highly reccommend this product to absolutely anyone that showers.
