Tivoli Audio Model Three Bluetooth Clock Radio with USB (Black Ash/Silver)

Bought a Tivoli radio many years ago. Great audio sound. Solid construction. Nicely finished wooden cabinet. Wonderful to look at. Easy to use. I am convinced it will last forever. My new Tivoli purchase is their Three BT clock radio. A Tivoli with a clock. The minute I picked it up out of the box I could tell by the feel it will be a great radio. Buy one - you will not be disappointed. Yes, it is a bit expensive. Quality is never cheap. Neither is a Tivoli radio.

My wife has had a Tivoli for many years and we love its look and its sound, so when she said she wanted one with a clock for the bedroom it seemed like a can't miss birthday present. I bought the the Model Three BT with USB in Cherry/Taupe that's advertised on Amazon. Big mistake! The model has a black faceplate and the station markings, radio settings (AM, FM, etc.), and sound controls are all etched in black, making them impossible to read even with a bright flashlight. I can't imagine how this design error got past quality control, but whoever approved it needs to look for a job pumping gas.

No AM/FM presets proved too hard to live with.A decent $49 radio I wasn't willing to stump up another $250 forjust because Tivoli has a Newbury Street business address in Boston.

The specific radio received was defective and I returned it to Amazon.
