First of all, I loved this radio more than any other radio that I have owned. To avoid redundancy, read the five star reviews.Now the bad news. I lost all AM and Shortwave reception after 7 months. The reset button reset the clock and the default volume but did nothing to restore reception (so it's not an antenna overload problem). So end the end, I got ripped off by the Chinese once again while my 30 year old GE radio (which was made in America back then) keeps on playing like it was brand new.It would be interesting to see a survey of all these people who gave great reviews shortly after getting their Kaito and ask them if their radio is still working after one year. Given China's history of lack of quality, I suspect that you would see a lot more 1 star reviews.If you want to gamble, go ahead but I've got better things to do than spend $90 every 7 months on a Chinese piece of trash.
