RetekessV117 Portable Radio,Battery Radio,FM AM SW 3-band with Best Reception,Earphone Jack,Antenna,Large Knob, Simple for the Elderly(Black)

Easy to use. Very portable. Excellent sound and altogether very useful.

Won't go into great detail for the features of this brilliant little radio as the amount of info & videos you can view will fill you in on just how good this radio is. Well made & with a good quality sound for such a small radio I can't fault it, it was one of my best buys in 2024 brilliant. Highly recommend this item if you need a small radio to carry with you if out & about, brilliant.

Bought this as an after thought to compare it to a Sony . After hearing the Retekess TR614 which is impressive I thought of giving this a go....well it is small and feels good to hold. It has easy to use controls and clear easy to read scales.Sound is superb , deeper than my Sony and that gives it a sound found in much dearer radios. Tinny it isn't.Quite impressive for such small unit.Build quality feels good, no fiddly bits to get lost or broken off , no sign of anything rattling around inside.Controls sturdy and easy to use.Reception is good ....on FM , Mw has a slight noise akin to light distortion which is probably interference, but it does pick up stations not found on my Sony. On FM we get french, dutch and a german station....on a day with little or no FM lift .Sw seems a waste, nothing to hear , not even the regular russian/chinese relays the crop up from time to time .All in all a good purchase , worth the money but not quite good enough for someone seeking unusuals on the airwaves.

Nice compact little radio, looks good, picks up lots of channels clear as a bell. I like the big dial button, easy to use. I hope it lasts. Update - It has lasted well over two and a half years and still going strong. I bought two other makes of mini radio's since then which had good reviews but the speakers on the Retekess are the ultimate winner, supreme sound!

When my new radio arrived I thought it was a mistake as the packaging was so small. Don’t be fooled. The quality of the reception is just ace. It’s a manual tuner which is even better now days. None of that faffing about trying to tune the thing in to a station. The quality is very good and I thought the price was ok. It only takes 2 little batteries. I luv it. 👍😀

The Radio started out pretty much as expected - a 'cheap and cheerful' AM / FM battery powered radio with just about OK sound quality.Reception was fine on AM (by turning the radio around to maximize reception via the internal aerial) and it was easy to use.However, after just two weeks of use it completely failed - replacing the batteries made no difference - switching the radio on just gave a background hum and a loud regular clicking sound on ALL bands - nothing else - tuning the dial made no difference.Have had to order a radio from a 'known' brand instead (Sony) as a replacement - poor.

its fine just a little small but seems to work fine.Elderly person with sight issues so fits the brief.

So good that I've bought a second one. Easy to use.
