Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver
Customer Review: Nice, basic portable AM/FM radio
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought two of these radios as backups in case of emergency. Excellent quality both physically and electronically. Uses two "AA" batteries, which are much more convenient than the old 9 volt batteries that were usually common to this design. I use lithium "AA" batteries for extended use and storage. Easily made waterproof by using a one-quart ziplock type bag. Excellent reception in both local and distant use. No real downside, if you remember this a "pocket" radio not intended for high performance use.Customer Review: Less is More
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio brings simplicity to a complex world. I provides exactly what I wanted: good reception, good sound, obvious controls, a pocket size, a sharp looking case, and a durable design. It is also nostalgic, looking and behaving like treasured pocket radios that I had before the invention of the PC. It is perfect for quick music on the patio, getting news during sports events, or staying connected during a power outage. I got all this for about ten dollars - the price of three gallons of gas!Customer Review: Best AM reception I've found yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a couple of other small, inexpensive radios of this type. Had yet to find one as good as the model I got at Radio Shack 15 years ago. This one blows that away. I'm talking specifically about AM reception, namely the ability to dial in all available stations. This is the only one I've found that can easily receive all AM stations in my area, even at night when many of the signals drop way down. Clearly receives stations that I can't get on any other radio (car radios, stereo receivers, etc.).Customer Review: Back to basics
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great well made radio for an amazingly cheap price. It sounds good, brings in stations well and is simple to use. Battery life is very good. It is durable, I have managed to drop it off of the desk a few times and it has survived with only a slight scratch. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a well made, no frills back to basics radio. You won't have to read a product manual to make it work. Take it out of the box, put in the batteries and enjoy the simplicity....Customer Review: Excellent Inexpensive Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I rated this radio five stars keeping in mind that it only costs $10.00 and delivers so much more than you would expect. It's a small, no frills AM/FM receiver that pulls in stations really well. I got one to keep in the car for emergency prepardness and ended up ordering another to keep on my desk so I don't miss my favorite programs. At that price, why not. It's not high fidelity or fancy but works very well as a basic radio. Came out of the box in perfect condition and worked fine.
