Works fine - no problems - apart from the problem below

Serious mains hum - I can't leave it on standby at night to use as a clock/alarm as the mains hum is so loud!

Users who are un-informed about handling new mode receivers and dont know how to "set them up ." (AS I ) Require a more Explicit HAND BOOK, Basic Step by Step about Everything.
THE PRE SET BUTTONS ARE NOT TITLED AS SUCH> THE METHOD OF USING THE BUTTONS WHILE PRE SETTING IS NOT CLEAR especially in setting 5,6,7 8 stations. ( ok for the initiated, Bad for the novice ) NEED A BETTER & MORE DESCRIPTIVE HAND BOOK>
Print a better Quality Instruction Book. The Japanese manufacturers Do. so watch out.
The ON/OFF Button should be Coloured.

For the price this seems incredible value for money, I don't think you could tell it's a refurbished unit as it's blemish free and comes in a proper box with instructions, I challenge anyone to spot the difference. Excellent product.

Good looking radio, with increible ease of use. I was weary about buying refurbished but given the price i went for it, and as a result i can happily report i am extremely impressed with the radio as a whole. It is used every single day and i cant rate it highly enough.

if i am honest for the price i can not find any faults

instructions for use/manual a bit fiddly when it comes to the alarm side of things. Also, the pre-set stations don't always remain pre-set, however tuning is so easy this is not a major drawback.

Easy to use. Sound is very good for a Mono - you can play it quite loud without distortion. Once it is set up, it is simply a matter if selecting the channel you want via the presets

none - does exactly what i want - is not too small or too big for either!
