My husband is a mailman. This is a perfect size radio and the reception is awesome. He has tried others but nothing can compare to this model. For the prize - you can NOT go wrong!

What’s good:
The best judge of a product is whether it is used, and mine is used every day. I’ve owned this little Coby for a couple of years now and it keeps me entertained every night listening to talk radio on the AM band. For night listening I tend to keep it under my pillow thanks to its low profile. I keep low volume so I don’t wake up my wife. No need to deploy the antenna for AM listening. The battery seems to last all week, even if I fall asleep and it plays all night. The radio is analog-tuned using a knob on the right side, and has a simple digital readout of the station frequency. I am sure it is the lack of modern digital circuits that avoids quickly draining the batteries.
What’s bad:
1) The base of the unit is too narrow and the plastic is not perfectly flat so if you try to stand it up it can tip over easily. I end up keeping it laying down on my night stand or under my pillow. 2) It is supposed to have an alarm but the wake-to-music doesn’t work. 3) I have some strong FM stations nearby and this and similar radios cannot pick up any FM stations. Only expensive home or car radios work in my area. I did not have any luck picking up any short-wave stations either, though I had fun trying. I kind’a picked up Austria once on a Dx bounce but nothing reliable.
The Verdict:
Buy this radio to help you get to sleep, listening to the AM band. For a few bucks, I did end up using it regularly, and this little Coby did inspire me enough that I am now looking around to buy a high end SW radio.

This radio is obviously what you are supposed to get for the price. It works but has somewhat bad reception, it seeems like he just likes to work on some spots. Also, the case is opening in two pieces. . . .

I’m sorry I wasted my money. This sad excuse for a multi-band radio has poor performance on all but the FM band. Tuning is very difficult because of slippage in the tuning mechanism - turn the tuning knob and nothing happens, turn it further and it whips right past the station you are attempting to get. Must stations of any strength appear at two places on the dial showing poor image rejection. Don’t waste your money. I tossed mine into the trash can.
