I needed this for a standing workstation to replace a portable Bluetooth speaker sitting on the work surface that I’d wired into a PC. The sound from that PC has always sucked. First, the monitor is actually a 27″ TV, so I thought I’d use the built-in speakers for sound. Nope. Weak. Then I bought a Bluetooth beach speaker with the appropriate aux port and wired it into the PC. Nope. It only has one very static-y radio station (barely audible), the sound is weak, and it takes up precious workspace (only have 18″x48″ and that speaker takes 11 square inches of it). So, I thought I’d try this.Being an under cabinet radio and my standing workspace is actually an industrial wire shelving system with a desktop mounted, I figure I could just hang this from the shelf above and have it out of the way. But it’d still be accessible, with the clock visible (a problem in that area of my place). This has a radio, with presets, AUX in, Bluetooth, and the reviews said it was loud. I’m here to say it is. I just took this thing out of the box (it’s not mounted or wired in yet), but my initial impression is “awestruck”. First off, it’s VERY loud. 3 is a comfortable volume for me sitting here in front of it. It was initially at 6, which could be heard all the way at the other side of my place over the washing machine. Most radios don’t have any reception at my place. This one seems to get the highlights, though many with some static. Seems positioning the cord helps. I think it uses it as the antenna. Maybe extending the cord will help too. I’ve actually never had a single radio other than my alarm clock pick up any stations at my place. We’ll see what it’s like when I get it mounted.The mounting is why I was inspired to write this review so soon after taking it out of the box. The spacers are genius. They’re three position slotted, so 1/3 turn gives you 3 different heights. Four if you count not using them at all. Approximately 5/8″-7/8″ with (my ruler has a gap between the measure start and the edge, so I can’t be exact), and approximately 1/4″ without. I’ve never seen spacers done this well. Someone really put some thought into this. If you use them, you’ll never be without the right size after installation when you need to remount it somewhere else, which is a problem with every other radio I’ve ever seen with separate sized spacers (you use 3/4″ spacers on one install and are stuck with that size for life because the others are nowhere to be found, ever).The backup battery (2-AAA) compartment is accessible while it’s mounted, so that’s well thought-out too. Relatively small footprint as well.Plus all the other features? I have a feeling this thing’s going to be around a while.The only thing I’d like more about this is if it was white. Gloss white would blend better. Maybe be easier to clean. It’s not as solidly constructed as, well, just about anything else electronic in my house, but it’s inexpensive and made to be mounted under a cabinet (so not a lot of handling/impacts are anticipated). The screws are too long for me and the receiver threads built inside the unit feel sloppy and gritty. They should work. They just don’t feel like quality. Not sure if the slop is to aid amateur installers who don’t drill holes in the right place. It looks like it comes with a hole drilling template so getting the holes where they need to be shouldn’t take hardly any math. Not a fan of the LED light. It’s dim and a bright bluish (so a garish 4,000K-5,000K~ish color temp). The clock face has limited visibility from certain directions. The numbers just disappear if you’re not standing in front of it, which is a problem I don’t have with any other clock in my place.

Recently bought this for my mother to replace her old under the counter radio. She loves this one! Great sound and compact!

OK, so I have no clue what any of the negative reviews are all about on this little unit. Unless, of course, people were expecting to get Klipsch quality sound for $35… I just don’t get it. This little unit arrived a few days ago and it met, or surpassed what I was expecting. It is easy to install, with the one sheet template for drilling screws. It has plastic pieces that you can add on during installation if you have a lip on the cabinet to get past. It is easy to program and has nice little features. Plus, it is tiny. We can now get to some of our kitchen utensils without banging into our old, very outdated system.The sound? The sound is not bad. The bass is a little lacking, but this is a $35 KITCHEN stereo unit… not a Home Theater system. It sounds great and I love the Bluetooth option, the AUX option and the FM radio option. All work great and are easy to set up and use.If you are looking for a nice little stereo for your kitchen (unless your kitchen is over 500 square feet) then this is a great little unit. Inexpensive too!

Bluetooth and extra features make this radio worth the money despite a few quirks. The style is sleek, the sound is crisp and clear, and under-counter installation is easy. Through Bluetooth, you can listen to distant AM or FM stations, satellite radio, Pandora, or a selected playlist, streamed from a computer or smart phone. There’s also an iPod jack and an NFC link for smart phone connection by touch. The night light is handy, and the timer is another bonus. As for those quirks: The clock’s numbers are hard to see in daylight unless you leave the radio turned on for a backlight. The small buttons call for close attention to make sure you’ve pushed the right one. The tuner doesn’t have an AM band, and FM reception is a bit spotty. But despite these minor nuisances, I would buy this radio again. I wanted a replacement kitchen radio simply to listen to NPR, sports stations, and holiday music while my wife bakes Christmas cookies. With all of the wireless-connection features, I got much more, at a good Amazon price.

This replaced my old 15 year old GPX radio that got fried after a power outage. This one is much smaller which I actually like better. I like the soft light underneath too. The sound is perfect. I don’t use it for entertainment but just for background noise. I keep the volume at 2 or 3. It was very loud at just 12. I wish it had AM radio but I’ll live. Reviews on this almost made me not buy it, but I’m so glad I did. Can’t beat it for the price. Stations for me are very clear.

great under-the-counter kitchen radio. Very good sound quality. The bluetooth connection feature is a welcome addition.

Great radio for the price. Easy to install. Much better reception than the old under-cabinet radio it replaced.I really like that the tuner button also functions as a Skip (to next station) button.One drawback is the clock screen is only legible from a narrow range of sigh — it pretty much washes out from side angles.The only other issue is that the volume button goes up and down in pretty big segments. Volume level 1 is a little louder than I’d like it to be on a quiet weekend morning when I’m the only one up. Volume levels 2 & 3 are what I use most often, and let me easily hear the radio while washing dishes and cooking. Volume 4 is loud enough to be heard down the hall through a closed bedroom door. And the volume goes up to at least level 15.But all in all, no regrets for this purchase.The timer function takes several steps to use, so I never do. The radio is in my kitchen right next to the microwave with its much more use-friendly timer.
