This radio is MARVELOUS.  I have one upstairs in  my home which gets every channel imagineable, but I put this one in my basement room on top of the freezer and there are a few stations that are "fuzzy", but I honestly think it is the location of the radio and NOT the radio itself.  Bose cannot be beat!!!!!!!!!!!!,

I had to finally bury my old clock radio, used the snooze alarm once to many times. I am 62 and been around alittle. Have to say that this is one heck of a clock radio. It performs greatly with it's functions and sound. It has great sound from radio and cd. The unit is one and half foot from my face and I am a light sleeper and the display brightness does not bother me at all. I set it at mid range and not off. It looks great and is very easy to operate. I now have to buy another one for my wife's side of the bed or loose mine, you know how that goes. Oh and the buzzer gradualy gets louder, it does not shock you out of bed and I love this feature. So the guestion is is it worth it and I say it sure is.

This radio has outstanding AM and FM reception compared to standard radios. I live in the northern part of Toronto and can clearly recieve Buffalo AM stations which is not the case with the other radios I own.
I  don't have enough experience with Shortwave to speak to the quality of that  feature.
Each band (AM, FM, SW1 and SW2) has 6 memory presets. In  addition, you can direct enter any frequency you want which is rare in a  radio these days.
My only complaint about this radio is its behaviour  when the batteries run low. Instead of just shutting itself off for good,  this Grundig radio starts to reproduce static and will shut itself off when  a crackle is particularly loud. Yet you can turn the radio back on and it  will go for another 5 minutes.

A very reliable and dependable radio. Reception is fantastic and installation was no problem at all. For the cost, this radio is one of the best available.

This baby is about the size of a couple of laptops stacked and turned on edge. It's hard to miss almost anywhere you put it, and probably too big to look OK on your desk.

But the sound is huge and there is much less AM buzzing (pretty much none!)than I've experienced with the half-dozen other radios I've tried in my house over the years.

I listen to just two AM stations, so tuning has not been a problem for me.

The Superadio has a plug coiled out of the way in the battery compartment, so you have it if you need it. And since this is no Walkman, you may find yourself able to plug it in more often than you might expect.

The Sangean HDR-18 is a great table radio.  FM and FM HD reception is really good with just the included telescoping antenna.  AM and AM HD reception was much better than I expected.  With just the built in ferret antenna it actually is a better AM receiver than my Denon receiver that cost many times more.  I would like to see how it does with an outside AM and FM antenna.  We are really enjoying listening to digital HD broadcasts with it.  The single speaker sound is very good with more than ample bass response even though it is not stereo.  Stereo is available however with headphones.  The rear aux input allows you to connect other sources for listening.  The rear audio output allows to to use and external amplifier or an audio recorder.  The only fault I have found is with the clock.  It does not keep time well even in the auto mode.  When you have the radio on, the clock does not stay synchronized and loses time.  When the radio is turned off. the clock will be off by several minutes.  It does eventually catch up.  I would not recommend buying this radio to be used as a clock radio, but it is a great radio.  I would say that it performs very comparably to the much revered GE Super Radio.

I bought this radio for AM and FM DXing after reading a review on it at "www.radiojayallen.com". I absolutely love it. To me. this is the new Superadio! The audio is excellent with plenty of bass and treble on tap so you don't always have to have the bass and treble controls maxed out. This is one of the few radios I own that picks up all my local FM stations with zero static, despite (or maybe because of) the shorty whip. The MW DX is superb as well, and I have had some astonishing daytime DX receptions.

What is not mentioned in the reviews, or shown clearly in the photos, is the way the radio flares out at the base. The 2 rows of D cell batteries, instead of being placed one row on top of the other up/down, has the batteries instead side by side at the bottom of the radio. This results in the base being extended out the width of a D cell from the top and middle of the radio. I really like the looks of the radio this way. Also, it provides a considerable amount of stability to the radio such that it is almost impossible to accidentally tip it over. The overall construction is very solid and high quality; there is nothing that feels cheap, or screams "crap" at you when you hold the radio.

Another feature not advertised is that this radio is capable of self-alignment. It is shown in the manual under the trouble shooting section for the question as to what to do if there is a drop in volume when tuning in a station. To realign the radio, when tuned to any AM station, press and hold the "Display Clock and Frequency" button until the weather alert LED starts flashing (top left on front of radio). At this point, release the "Display Clock and Frequency" button, then give it a short press. Leave the radio alone while it auto aligns. mine takes about 5 minutes to do. You are always assured of razor sharp alignment with this feature, no matter how old the radio.

While I do not listen to the 2 meter ham band, the weather channels are a welcome addition.

This has turned out to be my favorite radio in a very short time. It is well worth the price.

I'm a happy camper now that I have this Sony ICF-M1000 radio.  For years, I've always sought out the best in table radios and this Sony is the top of the heap.  As an employee of a radio station, I've long been fascinated with how good or how poorly particular radios work.  My first foray into this world was an ancient (circa 1977) Sony AM/FM table radio with a tuned bass port.  It was always quite the conversation piece in the office as fellow employees would marvel at the sound it produced.  As digital tuning radios came along, I found myself a Sony Megabass  clock radio that not only sounded good, but had stereo reception and sound reproduction as well.  Sadly, that radio worked better in my home than in the office, since our station is located in an office building not too far from the transmission towers.  The stereo receiver, the proximity to the towers, and the building itself contributed to a lot of "multipath" a phenomenon of terrestrial FM analog radio.  I continued to experiment over the years with other radios I'd come across, finally settling on a Tivoli Model One in 2001.  That radio has served me well in the five years since I purchased it.  Monaural and simplistic, it was compact in size and performed well.  Again, fellow employees commented on the sound it produced.  While shopping recently, I happened upon this Sony ICF-M1000 radio in a store in a shopping mall.  Attractive in design - it looked very much like my center channel speaker at home - and adorned with simplistic function knobs and display, I could tell right away, before I even heard it, that this would be a radio that I would just love.  This particular radio was located in a store in the center of a mall and got virtually no reception, but I could even tell that the static it produced sounded like hi-fidelity!  Later on, in the same day, I found this radio in another store, and was able to get reception since they were closer to the outside of the mall.  I knew then and there that I had to have this unit, and began my search on the Internet.  Prices varied widely, but I settled on a good price with no shipping charges.  Today, I'm sitting in my office, writing this review, and listening to the marvelous sounds of the Sony ICF-M1000 radio.  It's replaced my Tivoli Model One, as the reception is not only better on FM but AM as well - a difficult feat inside an office building.  I'm quite impressed with this Sony radio.  Highly recommended.

I am a senior and was looking a long time for a good radio.  It is wonderful and the instructions are very easy to follow.  The customer service is excellent.  They took all the time to answer my questions.  I love the radio and customer service.  Thank you.

I'm very happy with the radio. It looks and preforms well.

This is great radio. It's tuner is far superior to my Tivoli Model 2. It picks up stations that don't show up on that other radio. It's sound is much more full and clear than a Tivoli Model 1. The only very minor issue is that in order to use the aux device port, you must turn the radio around to access the back each time, as there is no selector switch on the front for an auxiliary device. Other than than, in the looks, ease of use, and sound department; this radio is great.

I bought this radio to communicate with my family in the ground floor of my apartment and the quality was exceptional. I even used it to tap radio transmissions and this can perform very well in bad weather conditions also, If u want to buy a radio , I personally suggest GO FOR IT!!!

This radio is superb. It is easy to setup, and functions very well in our area.  It has more options for user selection than any other similar device I've used.  No home should be without one.

I purchased this radio back in 2009 for my bathroom. It is great for my needs. You can preset stations and the sound is perfect for a bathroom or kitchen radio. I love that it has a digital clock as well.
It still works perfectly and I'm now ordering another one for my second bathroom.

I am a vintage radio restorer, and a radio nut.  I also listen to music via radio, Internet radio, or via Bluetooth from my smartphone every day.  Because I am also a musician, I care about the quality of sound, especially in a device which does not supply EQ settings.

I bought this radio to use at home, and loved its quality of sound, workmanship, and performance so much, that I just bought another to use in my office.  The sound quality is wonderful, from the lows to the highs, and the volume range is adequate.  I am re-discovering broadcast radio in my area (Colorado, USA) because of this radio.

Besides the sound, I love the look and feel of the main dial, and the tube display on the lower part of the front panel.

The combination of modern electronics with vintage style, including quality of the cabinet and feel of the controls, is superb.
