Reviews around design (5.00 of 5)

  • Very sleek design and just the right size to sit on a bathroom countertop .
  • But all the great design in the world couldn't compensate for the one thing I needed--clear sound
  • Great reception and better design for bedside - raised buttons with tactile feedback, amber
  • Ilisten to FM radio exclusively here in PHX.Sangean made all the right design choices inthe development of this new product, I onlywish the K-200 was available in the color black
  • The sound was excellent for such a small radio, likely owing to the innovative design of the tall case with the speaker at the bottom, giving some backside depth to the speaker installation

Reviews around product (4.61 of 5)

  • Excellent product; well constructed; heavy on base but acceptable
  • Some other products only support the iPod, while this is more universal.
  • Sangean makes a great product - after buying the first digital radio for my bathroom (larger version), I bought 2 more to have in the kitchen and family room.
  • Nevertheless, I didn 't turn it on full blast or abuse it in any way.
  • Wonderful and responsive vendor with timely response and very good product.

Reviews around look (4.03 of 5)

  • Sangean needs to take a tip from Breville who makes cool looking ergonomic sorta cool looking plugs
  • Just a teeny-tiny bit sloppy looking.
  • Blue light triggers the "awake time" chemicals in our brains and amber light triggers the "sleepytime" ones; I found the K-200's blue glow to be difficult to fall asleep next to, so I had to either turn off the backlight entirely before going to sleep (which means I can't see what time it is if I wake up in the middle of the night) or put something over my eyes to keep the blue glow from keeping me awake
  • so many times I honestly hate looking at this thing
  • The sound quality from this modern looking little machine is really quite remarkable

Reviews around footprint (4.03 of 5)

  • Reception is first class, love that it has RDS like the stereos in my car, but mostly I love the small footprint
  • As much as I loved this radio sitting all nice n’ shiny white n’ slimline on my kitchen counter
  • This has much better sound than anticipated and its small footprint is great for my nightstand.
  • The K-200 has superior sound quality and a smaller footprint on a bedside table, but the RCR-5 is better in nearly every other way that's important to me; it's so much better that the K-200 got demoted to our office/sewing
  • Nevertheless, I didn 't turn it on full blast or abuse it in any way.

Reviews around feature (3.88 of 5)

  • Both Sangean models offer this awesome feature (set an alarm to ring at the same time only on weekdays), but the RCR-5 is much easier to set
  • I consider it such a drawback that I'm seriously considering returning this radio, in spite of its other great features.
  • It picks up the radio stations, the sound quality is excellent, and all the other features are easy to use.
  • The other features are great, the setup simple, the quality great.

Reviews around station (3.53 of 5)

  • Reception is phenomenal for both AM and FM; even hard to get AM stations come in really clear.
  • 200 pulls in weak stations better than all my other radios ever did.
  • It is easy to change bands and I use the presets for my favorite stations
  • Nevertheless, I didn 't turn it on full blast or abuse it in any way.

Reviews around light (3.50 of 5)

  • Nevertheless, I didn 't turn it on full blast or abuse it in any way.
  • It now sits there as an expensive night light and clock.
  • Would like to be able to turn on the LED lights for a longer duration, like 2-5 minutes so you can do your business and leave the area with the LED lighting still on.
  • Would have given it 5 stars but the ambient LED lighting only stays lit for a few seconds
  • The night light feature is bright enough to provide good light in the dark.

Reviews around clock (3.44 of 5)

  • It now sits there as an expensive night light and clock.
  • I like the clock and the radio when I get ready in the morning, and it takes up very little space in the corner due to its vertical size
  • (although it isn't called that in its description) wherein the radio is subservient to the clock/alarm feature and cannot be turned on remotely with an x-10 controller (at least I couldn't do it)
  • You will not find a better clock radio at any price remotely resembling this thing's.
  • Bought this radio about a month ago to replace a previous clock radio that had died.

Reviews around background noise (2.94 of 5)

  • And, yes, it does have an antenna wire, so I can pick up the good rock n' roll stations, which are all far away from my town.

  • As much as I loved this radio sitting all nice n’ shiny white n’ slimline on my kitchen counter
  • Any whiff of bass whether music or my fave NPR talk shows, the sound is muffled and the distortion is so distracting that it’s merely now just a background noise provider in the kitchen

  • The speaker recently died, or at least, is in its death throes.
  • We used it almost daily for a year before the speaker suddenly became loose and distorted the sound
  • Mom was indeed very happy with this K-200
  • I was going to just replace this unit after the speaker went bad, until I checked and remembered how expensive it had been.

Reviews around volume (1.44 of 5)

  • As others have written, the louder the volume, the boomier the base, but not so much that it bothers us
  • After 6 weeks, I'm noticing distortion on the AM dial at any volume louder than low levels
  • With the K-200, you have to physically turn the volume knob to the level you want the radio to turn on to in the morning; this is a pain if you also listen to the radio at a louder volume during the day
  • In the morning, when the radio alarms to music, the volume is not enough to wake you
  • I eventually just used a sharpie to mark where I like the alarm volume to be, so I didn't have to turn it on to check the volume after my husband was asleep.(5

Reviews around radio alarm (1.00 of 5)

  • After months of careful shopping around, I selected the Sangean America K-200 for my new radio alarm clock
  • In the morning, when the radio alarms to music, the volume is not enough to wake you
  • I like the options to turn off the illumination, which would be a nice feature for using this as a bedroom radio / alarm clock.
