    • Love the radio
    • It is designed in an extremely practical case-shape so it can be placed anywhere without hassle (kitchen counter in our case), there are no silly impractical design elements at all - it is utterly practical and clear on all fronts, all controls are clearly labeled and in logical positions, motions on the doors is excellent, sound is excellent for such a small unit, radio is excellent, and HAS PRESETS, so you can log in three favorite stations, PLUS (and this astonished me
    • Great radio, it is on the small size, but has great sound and is pretty loud for how small and the digital tuner and presets are nice, would definitely recommend.
    • The boombox is very big and bulky, so keeping it for just the radio seems silly.

    • CFDS70 was released in 4/10/2016 whereas CFDS50 is released on 3/13/2014."The only benefits or new features of the S70 over the S50 are that the S70 has a sleep timer and a battery power display (which allows you to visually check your battery power).I own both models and when I placed them side by side, my old S50 got better radio reception than the new S70.
