Wow! Some of the reviews on here weren't fair in regards to the sound. It actually really sounds good. It may have benefited from separate bass / treble knobs, but even with the lone "tone" knob, it sounds very full.
The fact that it has a very convenient Bluetooth option makes am/fm reception issues sort of irrelevant. That being said, the FM seemed pretty good, but the AM seemed kinda weak. But again, with the Bluetooth option, i just use the app to tune in, and its perfectly clear.
Bought one for my kitchen shelf and one for my parents for Christmas, as I thought they'd like the nostalgic look.
5 stars!

Victrola Radio Brings Old Time Memories

What I really like about the Victrola - Retro Wood Bluetooth AM/FM Radio - Walnut it brings back good fond memories when I was a kid in the late 50's throughout the 60's what old radios looked liked and sounded like. (I even remember tube testers at the grocery stores and pharmacies for TV's and radios). I especially really like the radio knob and the station numbers on the Victrola Radio. Good sound as well for one speaker. My only problem is it does not pick up any Los Angeles, CA. radio stations or two or three San Diego, CA. radio stations. The signal is weak for the AM frequency. Just picks up the four local AM radio stations in my small city and one radio station the next county south from my city that is about 25 miles away. I have C. Crane Pocket Radio and it can pick up a couple of Los Angeles, CA. radio stations and a couple of San Diego, CA. radio stations that uses only two AA batteries. Just might be my location There is some blocking in my surrounding area in the building that I reside at and few other buildings. The FM frequency is very good. Picks up many FM stations, but not from Los Angeles, CA. Mostly local and a couple further up north. But still I really enjoy listening to my Victrola Retro Radio during the day and at night when I go to sleep.

I bought this for someone in a nursing home. He wanted an easy to operate, but good sounding radio. I thought of all the old kitchen radio's that looked similar that worked forever. This did the trick so far. Lives in a big city , so many stations easy to tune in, volume was wonderful, as we barely had to turn it up. Plus it has a bass/treble knob. So if it still works, which I sure hope it does, then we are very happy with it.

This is an awesome product. The sound quality is awesome. All the dials and knobs are easy to use. As for the decor, this radio is so classic. It looks good wherever you put it. The only thing I would change about it is the length of the cord. Oh, also, the am and fm stations both sound awesome with the built in antenna.

We just love this radio. It is small and retro styled. It is simple to use--turn on button, bass button, and the knob to find different stations. It is clear, compact, and just awesome. Recommend as Christmas present or Birthday gift for everyone.

Bigger than I imagined or hoped, but not a bad thing for most people. Works well, maybe a little off on channel selection but does that really matter a lot? Not to me since I can hear and find what I'm looking for.
Looks nice and bluetooth is good addition. Bass/treble knob is nothing special.
The radio can get pretty loud.
It's a good deal and choice for people just wanting a radio, one that looks better than a chunk of bulky plastic.

Retro Style Radio with Modern Touches

Not only is it stylish, it's also got great performance! I can tune into local radio stations with minimal issue and the sound quality is clear. The bluetooth also works great and connects with minimal issue.
Some may see the lack of a remote as a downside but I think it lines up well with the retro feel. You get up to tune the radio and you get up to change the volume (if you're not using Bluetooth).

Very cute. Great sound. The dial makes it hard to tell what station you are on making it hard to change stations. It doesn't save favorites. The most annoying thing was a blue light that blinks continuously when the radio is off! Got this for my bedroom ...like sleeping with a strobe light. Covered it up w electrical tape and that's gone!

Found this radio on your website and was thrilled to discover it. Had a similar one from another store at a MUCH higher price that lasted 10+ years but it finally went kaput from much usage. This Victrola Retro Wood Bluetooth AM/FM radio is perfect and plays exceptionally well for the money. Not quite as heavy feeling as my old one but that asset isn't a necessity. Thanks for such an easy time in ordering the product for it wasn't available in the store itself yet your sales folks were helpful and had me in and out of the store in ordering the product in a jiffy and the radio arrived in the mail in perfect condition in a jiffy. Thank you.

Sounds great both FM radio and Bluetooth (haven’t tried AM). Most radio stations we sampled were 30 to 50 miles away and came in great without even unwinding the FM antenna coil. Very satisfied.
