I own lots of radios (see my other reviews) and I had high hopes for this- Eton/Grundig have excellent reputations and I like some of their higher end units. This is very disappointing. The biggest problem is that it doesn't stay tuned (a digital display doesn't mean digital tuning) rendering it functionally useless. If your station is super strong and it doesn't matter if it drifts from, say, 105.3 - 105.9 when you're trying to listen to 105.5 maybe it'll be ok for you. Then again, if your station is that strong, you could buy a $10 no-name radio. The size is nice, as is the very long extendable antenna. However, the name brand, nice list of features, flashy colors, and fancy packaging can't mask that this is essentially a cheap cheap radio not worth the shipping charges (I got mine with the remains of an an LL Bean gift card or It'd be shipped back).

This a good radio. I bought this radio so I could pick up stations easily anywhere I go and on my last trip it picked up stations pretty good, with a lot less static than most radios. it`s a small radio with a big sound. It has a large antenna. it picks up some shortwave stations but not a whole lot, if you want a good sw radio I suggest you go with a bigger radio. The AM/FM stations come in very well.

The station display gave out after six months. However, the time keeps on displaying. You have to pinch the case with your thumb and forefinger to see the station you want to hear,when you let go the time comes back on display. Also, the tuning wheel is too sensitive. The least bump or movement to it will send it off station. This review is for the Grundig M300 World Radio,Blue. I haven't any problems with this Black model yet. Other than that it's a good radio.
