After reading all of the reviews about this radio I was very excited to buy it for my husband's 65th birthday. We have a cheap little radio in our bathroom and the reception is not all that great. I researched to help me find what I thought would be the best possible radio for reception.He was delighted with the gift and it is beautiful. But when we went to plug it in the bathroom the reception was terrible! Our little cheap radio was far superior to this one. Consequently I sent it back and now I have nothing to show for his birthday...
