    Sangean AM/FM/Clock Portable Digital Radio with Protective Bumper PR-D18RD (White/Red)

    • easy controls , decent sound quality for the size.
    • Intuitive controls, small footprint, sounds fabulous
    • We like the Sangean RCR-22 atomic clock radio we bought from Amazon a while ago, despite its somewhat funky controls
    • Reception is excellent in my area, the manual is very clear and the controls very intuitive
    • Well-designed controls.
    • There is a lockout switch on the back that disables the front controls.
    • This is a nice radio EXCEPT because the silly volume control...from level 0 (mute) to level 1 = too loud to listen in a quiet
    • The controls, not unlike those on a Sangean table radio I have, work well but are not the most intuitive if you use the alarm (which I do not)
    • Nice solid case and the controls are easy to work.
    • The controls are easy to use and instructions easy to understand.
    • It appears to be solidly built and the controls are all readily accessible and relatively intuitive (after a brief trip through the manual)
    • Nice sound and controls too.
    • Very nice product, wish all electronics took a trip to the past, easy controls.
    • Good reception, clear, strong signal and easy controls.
    • The usual, somewhat confounding, Sangean control interface - but workable, and fine once you use it a few times
    • I think the tuning and volume buttons should be switched: I would prefer the vertical up & down buttons control the volume instead of tuning.
    • controls are very intuitive...and the instructions a crystal clear.
    • Good volume control and tuning is easy
    • Ease of use: Very straightforward control panel (although I still have to get used to the sleep timer - you change the time by holding the power button, as opposed to other units either having one fixed sleep time or changing the time by pressing a button more than once).
    • Great sound and the controls work very well
    • I have considered retuning it several times because its alarm and a/c are losers; keeping it because the digital radio tunes in one local station (WDNA 88.9 FM jazz) that usually is lost because of crowded, dirty bandwidth.
    • Not a C Crane model at double the price, but adequate
