Reviews around design (5.00 of 5)

  • Good sound - solid construction - analog operation - sharp design!
  • Has a great retro design, overall sturdy build, but to my ears it sounds like the Low End has been artificially boosted
  • Although it’s a great design and quite powerful for a small radio , I find it is only god for a small space like kitchen counter bathroom
  • Pros: Great design, small footprint, powerful sound output, BluetoothCons
  • I have gotten several compliments on the modern design.

Reviews around dial (5.00 of 5)

  • I love the dial for tuning in to radio stations too; far superior to discrete digital channel selection, since you can hone in on the exact bandwidth where the signal is clearest.
  • A digital display is of course more convenient for dialing in stations, but the rotary dial is easy to use.
  • Simple dials are refreshing in a day when everything is so complicated
  • I much prefer dials over buttons, and these dials have a solid feel to them

Reviews around device (5.00 of 5)

  • The pros are: the device is very attractive and I like the smooth feel of the dials (very nice).
  • This is a gorgeous device, but since it can't offer basic Bluetooth functionality, I had no choice but to return it.
  • The pros are: the device is very attractive and I like the smooth feel of the dials (very nice).
  • Please work on wifi connectivity and making this a smart device
  • What you do get, though, is one excellent little speaker with a ported cabinet to boost bass performance, an excellent tuner, smooth electronics and the option to use Bluetooth enabled devices as auxiliary inputs

Reviews around tuner (5.00 of 5)

  • The tuner is very sensitive and using the "pigtail" external that comes with the unit I can pick up both stations with excellent sound and consistency.
  • The analog tuner for FM is much more sensitive than digital tuner radios we have without using the external antenna
  • The tuner pulls in stations that I did not know existed, this is a very smooth tuner and is a dream to tune into a station.
  • Great sound that fills my room and the tuner is fantastic
  • What you do get, though, is one excellent little speaker with a ported cabinet to boost bass performance, an excellent tuner, smooth electronics and the option to use Bluetooth enabled devices as auxiliary inputs

Reviews around thing (5.00 of 5)

  • If this is the only thing that goes south on it for the next several years, well ... ok.
  • This is one of the most awesome and good looking things I have bought lately from Amazon
  • As I get older I find that I enjoy fewer and simpler things more and more: quiet evenings with my wife, playing with my kids, birding on a crisp morning, laughing and chatting with patients, enjoying a good cigar, being on the water and always, always listening to the pops
  • Not a deal breaker, and that wasn't on my list of needs or wants when purchasing, but FYI.For my needs and taste, this thing is great

Reviews around look (4.70 of 5)

  • It is attractive - clean/modern-looking, while still having a warmer, more traditional look (i.e. not industrial or space-agey, which I feel tends to start looking outdated relatively quickly)
  • Great looking and stylish radio but fuzzy and canny sound.
  • Nice, classic look, small size and good sound makes this one of the best radios in the markets.
  • The Bluetooth works great and makes this conservative looking radio high tech
  • The radio itself has a classy look without being too busy and is an excellent combination of form and function

Reviews around quality (4.45 of 5)

  • The reception for the radio is very good and bluetooth streaming also produces a good quality sound
  • It connects and operates as one would expect, however the BT sound quality is poor with a raspy, muddy, sloppy and fuzzy sound.
  • Bluetooth setup was a breeze, and the sound quality is amazing from such a small, monaural speaker.
  • The sound quality is better than you would expect of such a small radio and is quite good
  • However the sound quality is no better than my Tivoli Pal which does sound good, but has a smaller speaker

Reviews around music (4.26 of 5)

  • I bought one in white to match the decor in my baby's room who will be arriving in a month (starting him off on good music is important to
  • The sound reminds me of the old fidelity stereos, I recommend this to anyone who loves their music.
  • I hail from India(a country which loves great music) and its unfortunate that this product is not available in India
  • But it's not Tivoli's fault, the music is just bad and Tivoli exposes those faults
  • We keep it in the kitchen to listen to the news or podcasts/music (beats the old phone-in-a-bowl trick!), and it works great

Reviews around bluetooth (4.00 of 5)

  • The bluetooth doesn't work clearly with my phone, not sure if that is a service provider issue or
  • Bluetooth works without flaw and gives greater flexibility.
  • The Bluetooth works flawlessly and the convenience is marvelous
  • Keep in mind that the older computers and phones had inferior Bluetooth and may not sound as great as newer machines when paired with the Model One BT.
  • But don't waste your money for the Bluetooth upgrade - it simply never works

Reviews around reception (3.67 of 5)

  • The reception for the radio is very good and bluetooth streaming also produces a good quality sound
  • The material received with the radio alerts the buyer that reception may not be good in a steel and concrete building
  • In any case, I returned this radio, which had only mediocre reception with AM band, for the Sangean WR-22WL digital radio that has presets, a digital clock and 2 alarms, Bluetooth and MUCH better reception for AM and FM bands
  • Included is an inobtrusive FM antenna that plugs into a coax cable connector, which I added on, though reception seemed good without it
  • Radio (FM/AM) sounds great and gets very good reception.

Reviews around signal (1.80 of 5)

  • My car, with a stock radio, parked just outside of where the Model One is located, picks up a local station loud and clear where as the Model One struggles to get a clear signal with good audio quality (and no, the car doesn't have HD
  • The Tivoli picks up weak signals and holds the frequency
  • This was the best I could do considering KCSN's poor signal south of Los Angeles International Airport
  • Both have a weak signal and with other interference I didn't think I would ever find a radio to meet my objectives.
  • Helpful hint: remember to throw the switch on the back of the unit when you install the external antenna, otherwise it won't boost the signal
