Coby CX-53 AM/FM Radio

Pros: Size and price and design, the most portable and functional alarm clock radio you'll find.

Cons: Reception and sound could be better, no stereo FM, even with earphones.

The Bottom Line: For this price, I can't imagine a better sounding radio - the digital display and alarm clock functions are a bonus.

Pros: Small
Loud speaker
external antenna
battery life above average

Cons:

External power button on front.

Pros: Very small, very cheap, works OK.

Cons: Slight offset of the digital display readout on FM.

Pros: Nice-looking. Works great when it works.

Cons: Poorly made electronics will malfunction soon, most likely.

Review: I loved this radio when I first got it, only 1 week ago. Then for no reason the FM stopped working--I hadn't banged it or dropped it at all. I returned it for an exchange and when I got home and put in the batteries, right away the FM was not working. ...
