First it is beautiful, sober. Then, it is powered by batteries and sector. The sound is excellent, very clear. The time setting is very simple. The stations are easily programmable (contrary to what I read in other reviews). Once stored stations - there are 10 for each of the two wavebands - and the level of the selected volume, it does not need to touch the big buttons sliders: now it will suffice to light or turn off the post, with separate small push button, and eventually choose another station by pressing the button that has been assigned. This is important because I have found that breakdowns in use, often come from the wear of the cursor buttons.
It is true that there is a small drawback: if the mains supply is disconnected, the time display disappears. But frankly it's a very minor inconvenience because, as I said, the time reset is simple and fast. The preset stations, they are preserved, and that is essential, of course.
In short, for now I can not find fault at this position, I am very happy with my purchase: at that price I doubt that we find better. For reliability, you will see the use, of course, I'm using that for several days, this notice is written "hot". I wanted to give the becaufe the opinions of other users, I read before I decide, really helped me in my choice. I found just contribute.
