Customers like the sound quality of the radio. They say that it has good volume, and the AM and FM stations come in loud and clear. The audio is clear with no static. The radio receives FM/NOAA loud and clearly from stations in the next town 40 miles away. The small speaker provides a nice personal listening experience at moderate volumes.

Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the radio. Some mention that the build quality feels solid, the sound is quite clear, stable, and not at all static-y. They tighten the antenna and it looks to be secure, but just a bit wobbly. However, others say that the durability is exceptionally poor, in 1-2 months mine stopped turning on reliably, the antenna is fragile, and the build of the product was poor.

Customers are mixed about the tuning of the radio. Some mention that it's accurate, the sensitivity is great, and the tuning knob is sensitive. They also say that the radio has simple old-school analog tuning, and it'll pull in from the Detroit area. However, other customers say that it is touchy and difficult to adjust the frequency.

"...This one does the job. It receives firmly with high sensitivity and locks in the stations on all bands...." Read more

"...Tuning is a bit finicky, but already knew that from reading other reviews; just take your time and it works ok...." Read more

"...Two weeks and it is still going strong.The sensitivity of this radio is great, it pulls in from the Detroit area where I still live -..." Read more

"**Update - The tuning dial is tough to turn. This makes adjusting the frequency difficult, as well as getting a locked signal...." Read more

Quality Control - FAIL ... Kaito KA210 AM/FM NOAA Weather Radio - Great Concept, BUT ... (Sale $15.43)

Quality Control - FAIL ... Kaito KA210 AM/FM NOAA Weather Radio - Great Concept, BUT ... (Sale $15.43)
Great radio "concept," i.e., compact, AM/FM and NOAA weather channel, uses two (2) AA batteries, simple old-school analog tuning vs. digital, and low current-drain for long battery life. Unfortunately, the AA battery cover/lid doesn't fit correctly into the radio. Either a one-off anomaly, or the plastic molds for the cover/lid or radio housing simply don't match up correctly. This is a seriously fatal flaw that makes an otherwise excellent radio unacceptable. Unfortunately, had to return the defective radio to Amazon. If this major flaw could be remedied this radio would be a keeper. Not quite ready for "prime time," but very close ... Until then, get out the "duct tape."UPDATE -- Ordered another IKA210 for $15.43 this time the lid fit. Maybe, Kaito changed their molds or tooling or this one was from a different batch.
