I'm at work so I can't spend too long on this review but simply put, I love this little thing. I bought mine for just 27 bucks on Amazon - what a steal!It's small but has nice, loud sound. No distortion unless the base is really high up. Sound is just as good on batteries as it is plugged into an outlet. Took it to the beach last weekend and the radio came in perfectly clear once I stood the antenna up.And of course it's pink... who doesn't love that?!
