We have an outlet in our bathroom that is wired to the light switch, so we like having a radio that can stay ‘on’ so when we turn the light on, the radio starts.
Our old radio kicked the bucket, and I bit the bullet and bought this one as a replacement. I was concerned about some negative reviews, but I am glad I went with my gut.
It works, and I couldn’t pass up the ‘vintage/retro’ look for a FM radio to add a bit of style to having a radio in the bathroom.
The volume is better than I expected (we don’t even have it up to half and its more than loud enough). It picked up the station we want without any issues and the quality of sound is clear- it doesn’t cut in and out, and there is no static.
Setup was as simple as turning on the volume/power, and turning the dial for the station.
I tried the Bluetooth, and the sound is more than adequate, and I had zero issues pairing it with my phone.
Overall? It has met my requirements and exceeded my expectations.

Nice unit, functions are straight forward and easy to use. Does look very good.
Only complaint is that the bluetooth connection does inject some high frequency noise. Effect can be minimized by raising the volume, but can be heard (and by extension, annoying) at lower volume levels.

Tried listening to a baseball game and the am reception was horrible! Also the sound quality is bad and the volume isn’t loud enough to use outdoors. I wouldn’t recommend and I’m sending my back.

Very well constructed. Straight forward and simple controls with solid feel. Stays on station. Bluetooth easy to use and setup. Would be nice to have a dial light but not crucial. Looks very authentic. Im very happy with it. I highly recommend it.

Esperaba que fuese inalambrico pero no lo es, y el nivel de sonido no es lo que esperaba, eso si, muy decorativo.

A mi me gusto mucho el estilo, llego bien empacado y en tiempo. Tuve muy poco problema para que encontrara la estación que quería, pero ajustando la antena de escucha perfecto! Se conecta muy bien con mi ipad por Bluetooth. Si lo recomiendo.

Victrola is a better value than the Crosley. Victrola power supply is a better connection than the Crosley. Victrola treble/bass excellent idea. Crosley has too much bass. Neither has batteries.

Looks great, but knobs are way off, the radio is tuned to 97.5 and shows as 99.5, irritating but simple enough once you figure out how far it is out. Similar with the am/fm/bt selections, bt is fm, fm is am… simple fix if they spent 10 seconds on additional quality control.

Been trying to cut back on electronic entertainment, and desided to stick to books and radio. Selected this product for its simplicity and versatility to double as a blue tooth speaker. I havent had any trouble picking up radio in my area, and the speaker sounds fine in my quiet little place. The radio is a bit smaller than I expected, pic with a can of cola for perspective. If youre looking for simply a radio with bt capability around the house, its a solid buy.

We received our radio promptly on time and were extremely pleased with the quality of its construction, deep, rich sound and ease of use. It even had a tone button to adjust bass and treble. The stations are so easy to find and the selector button—like the other two—is firm and easy to adjust. Absolutely worth every penny!

The radio looks really nice. It has that classic feel which makes the area where I placed it really nice. It replaced another radio I had that was basically staticky and hard to dial radio stations. I was replacing an old unit with a newer on and a classic look. It did not disappoint. The sound is good, the stations dial nicely and there is no static. The unit is loud and the sound is amplified when turned up. We keep it a low level and can hear it nicely from a distance. I am happy with my purchase and hope this radio lasts longer than my previous one.
