PRUNUS J-136 Portable AM FM Radio with Best Reception, Loud Speaker

Perfect little radio for my office. I've had it for a few weeks now and no issues. I do use the plug in cord but I plan to try the battery option when I go on vacation or when the power goes out. It is small but the sound is great

Great little radio. Good reception on AM and FM, and sounds good for its size. I use it everyday. I decided to use the barrel jack power port on the side with a 4.5v adapter to eliminate the inside power transformers radio noise while listening to AM. Little did I know that the barrel jack would try to charge the batteries inside the unit. I picked the radio up and noticed it was warm. I unplugged it and opened the battery door. I put a piece of paper towel in the back to keep the battery door from buzzing while playing music, and a good thing I did. The batteries were warm and spraying an oily substance all over the battery compartment. I heard a hissing noise coming out of them, so I rushed outside and flung them into the snow. I didn't read anywhere in the instructions that the little port on the side was for charging. Great little radio, but just be aware to remove the batteries inside of it if using a external power adapter in the 4.5v port.

comes in clear; decent little radio

It works fine. It's easy to operate. It's compact. And it looks good. The lack of a port for my earbuds is the only thing I don't like about it. It is still worth what I paid for it.

Perfect little radio for my garage. Good price, great sound. Glad I got it

Excellent reception, controls, and sound. A simple good am/fm radio is hard to find anymore. This is one.

Better built than expected, it’s small but powerful speakers feels like good quality very sturdy base good value price.

First of all I like to listen to distant AM stations at night, there are only a couple of AM stations left in Nova Scotia. This radio will not receive 680 WRKO Boston and I suspect the radio is set up to tune in 9KHZ steps used in Europe, I also have another analogue style DSP tuned radio with this problem. This radio has an analogue style tuning scale but relies on a digital signal processor for tuning and tunes in steps unlike a true analogue tuned radio which tunes continuously. In North America the AM stations are separated in 10KHZ increments so the tuning could be off by as much as 4.5KHZ for some stations and not be able to receive them, there is no option to switch the tuning between 9 and 10 KHZ steps as in some other radios, this would not be a problem if there was also a digital keypad that allows you to select the exact frequency. Analogue style DSP radios are not a good idea if you can not switch between 9 and 10KHZ tuning , better to get a DSP radio with direct digital tuning by keypad. The good stuff, very good FM reception, great sound for a small radio, smooth tuning and volume controls, uses 2D cells which should last a long time, also has built in power supply using a removable power cord and not a wall wart. Radio also has option to use an external 4.5V power supply, switch to run on 110 or 220V. Missing is a headphone jack and there is no way to receive FM stereo with one speaker. A quirk of this radio is the tuning indicator moves in the opposite direction of the knob and the tuning scale is numbered in the opposite direction to most other radios. Not for AM radio listeners in North America, good sound and good for FM background music.

This is the most practical little radio to have in an emergency. It runs on power and batteries which is super important in an emergency. Living on the Canadian Prairies we so often don’t have Wi-fi reception so being to ‘hear’ the outside world is a blessing. The same applies in case of a tornado warning and you’re stuck in a basement. It’s super easy to use, easy to find a channel and the sound is ok for what it is. I’ve already had to use it days after receiving it.

Petit radio très serviable car je peux l’installer où je veux. Le son est très claire. Je recommande ce produit.

I really like my new Prunus portable radio because it has great reception and I have the option of using batteries or plugging it in. I especially like that it is large enough to be stable unlike my previous portable that tipped over. The Prunus has two simple dials and specific AM and FM frequencies are easy to pick up. The affordable price would be hard to beat for a product of this quality. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this particular item as it's a good buy.

good little radio, brought in all FM stations within 50 miles - (stations only transmit with 1000 watts) and the only AM station. The dial moves to the right when the knob moves counter-clockwise, this is backwards and gets some getting used to. sound is good for a small speaker, aux and headphone good features. Antenna swivel on metal which is good.

Was searching for reasonable radio with good price range and purchased two of them for sole purpose of putting them in my chicken and pigeon coupe, A couple months on now and not one animal attack from the larger critters to the smaller critters, turn it on every night and animals stay clear. Paid itself off in survival and quantity of eggs so far. Lots of stations available, Country is most favoured be the birds
