Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this because I was sick of the awful local radio stations and figured I'd rather wake up to Pandora, etc.--since that would about guarantee waking up to a great tune (and not babbling DJs). I was surprised to see how few alarm clocks could get internet sources. It does that very well--and has a huge selection of radio stations that broadcast over the Internet as well. The alarm is either a beep OR the music--you cannot get music followed by an alarm. If you want that, you might need a second alarm-only clock. Also, it does not seem to do well with a USB stick or DLNA media source with several hundred songs (if you attempt to shuffle them, it hangs up/reboots). Also, it cannot use the USB or DLNA music for the alarm. I have an ASUS router...I noticed a couple of times that the radio lost the ability to connect. However, other devices lost their connection as well (plus, I had some problems with a printer that went to sleep as well). I suspect this is a router issue, not one with the radio. In preparation for Google Fiber (1G Internet speeds!! woohoo!), I'm running Cat7 hard-wired Ethernet around my house anyway, so I bought the USB network dongle and plugged it in that way. Now, I don't have to worry about the vagaries of wifi. Overall, it does adequately for what I wanted (i.e., wake up to Pandora)--but a few enhancements would shine it up a lot.

I love this radio for its ease of set up and use, the radio options, the setting controls, and the remote. I do have one problem with it tho. I listen to Live 365 with it a lot. The radio is not able to show the names of the songs/programs like you can with a Logitech Squeezebox Boom. I guess I am spoiled. It will show with Pandora tho, and that is fine. If it would list titles on all stations, I would have given it a 5 star review.

The Grace internet radio is almost great. The display will turn on spontaneously even though it is set to level 0 when inactive. I can't get the Sirius to function, even though I have a Sirius account. Other than these two irritations, this radio is great. Very easy to put favorite stations in memory, easy to set alarms, great sound.

With the switch to all talk radio, I needed to find stations that air everything. I can now hear the music I like at any time of day. From all over the world. I can use it in any room is the house. I thank Best Buy for having this Grace radio, it works like a charm.

The Mondo Wireless Music Maker is the latest digital audio product from Grace. The setup was a breeze. I connected with my Wi-Fi router within minutes, and was up and listening to Internet radio in a very short time. The voice and music quality are excellent and the color LCD display is a joy to navigate through. I have set my wake-up alarm just for weekdays...I don't have to turn the alarm off on Friday night and then on again on Sunday night! To me, that's almost as good as chocolate! So many things to explore on this baby with radio stations available all over the world. I have created a special setting to play beautiful soft guitar or piano music as I fall asleep every night that shuts off after my specified time. So, I cannot say enough about this product. My purchase was worth every penny, and I am anxious to explore all of the musical 'places' available on my Grace.

It's easy to use and the sound is good. I couldn't find any mention of a battery in the manual even though there is a battery door on the bottom of the radio. Nor could I find a battery for sale on Best Buy. I had to order it from Amazon.

Bought this to listen to world wide radio stations, particularly the BBC and local stations of PBS styles. Absolutely great, easy to set up, perfect reception and great sound quality. If you need a radio that receives everything, this is it.

Solid Wi-Fi internet radio. I can listen to so many stations. My main deciding factors in buying this radio were: 1. I wanted Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth; and, 2. I needed to be able to, as a minimum, use online software to set up a Custom Windows Media Stream URL to be able to play a subscription I have for an internet radio station that I listen to all the time. I did this at "http://www.grace.reciva.com" It works perfectly. East to set up and use. I have experimented with other stations too. Grace Digital also has Pandora, iHeart Radio and more right on the home screen on the radio to choose from. The sound is good, but I am looking into a couple wired powered speakers that will easily attach to the Audio Out on the radio so I can have a nicer stereo experience in the living room which can be heard from most other rooms. I've had this since 10/23/2014 and it is playing every day.

I had been searching for a radio that can have AM available for my mom. But then I thought, if we use the iPhone to hear music and radio stations then I need a radio that I can get the station through internet and found this. Not only does it work but it's easy for my mom to use. Easy to install with different variety of stations.

Other reviews gave this item high praise and they were right. It's a great radio for bedside or the office. Nice clean full sound. Perfect with its own tuner, eliminating need for an external device to setup stations. Fair price for what it does.

I'm an NPR junkie and I bought this unit for use merely as an internet radio in a portion of my house which, ironically can't get the local NPR station on the airwaves (don't ask me why). It took me about ten minutes to set it up to meet that need and I was happy. It was simple to use. I was very pleased see all the other little features it had such as connecting very easily to my existing Pandora account and displaying all my Pandora "stations". In theory, I could even create a new Pandora station from the Mondo unit, but it would be pretty slow. The only issue I had with it was it did not connect to wireless speakers, ironic for a wireless unit. I could have bought a separate blue tooth transmitter and connected it to a blue tooth system, but I would have assumed a clever system like this would have had something built in.

Finally a nightstand radio that combines all the internet radio stations including Sirius and iHeart as well as being able to stream my iTunes music. Easy to set up and directions were clear cut. WiFi works great as my radio and the Wifi router are on opposite sides of the house.

I needed a wireless internet radio for the guest bedroom and reviewed quite a few. The Grace digital was the perfect buy. I was able synch up to my wifi network without a problem. The sound is decent and the stations on the Internet are plentiful.

I bought my Grace Mondo radio to receive my favorite channels on Sirius, but I quickly became aware that there are so many great stations available on internet radio for free that there is no need for Sirius. And Pandora is a treasure by itself. I did thorough research and was expecting some problems based on customer reviews I had read, but the radio turned out to be better and more trouble-free than I expected. Set-up was a snap, as is finding stations (be aware that you have to register for Pandora on Pandora.com -- something the Grace radio doesn't tell you). People complain about the remote, but I find that it is the perfect size and very easy to use. The sound of the radio itself is not great, but I have it connected to a Bose radio and so the sound quality is first-rate. The only negative I have to report is that my radio loses contact with the Wi-Fi signal from my router about once or twice a week. When that happens I merely turn off the power, let the radio sit for about fifteen seconds, and then turn it back on. It then spends a few seconds reacquiring the signal and we are back to normal. This is easily one of the best audio purchases I have ever made.

Easy to set up and use. Almost as good as the Squeezebox products but they have been discontinued by Logitech.

was bought as a gift and they love it..great sound easy to find stations

Great Features, Many Different Internet Stations, All the Big names - Pandora, Sirius and free radio too.

Got this because my favorite radio station was iffy for our bedroom clock radio, and we listen to the station in much of the house on streaming internet, so we thought we'd try this. The sound is good - not great (comparing to the expensive stereo clock radio from that manufacturer that starts with a B) but it's small with a small speaker, so not unexpected. It's great that it has a battery for backup, but the battery is proprietary and not included - extra expense. The manual is as bad as most, a little trial and error has been required to get things working, and I still haven't worked out a couple of things. The setup - ugh. You can only scroll up or down, so when you go to put in your network password, you can't do it quickly. Setting the clock and date took quite awhile of trial and error. I mean really, folks, there are hundreds of good examples to emulate. So, it's OK. Good sound, good features, but only if you can figure them out. We kept it, are using it, but I'm not likely to buy more Grace stuff unless they're the only option.

Wow, thousands of stations, many free, brought to you from around the world! A giant tech leap from my 30 year old clock radio. Setup was simple and I'm exploring all the music choices out there on the web. Love having the flexibility of setting my alarm just the way I want it and the sleep timer lets me set the duration instead of defaulting to the short 60 minute span I had available on my old radio. I also think the sound is quite good for such a small package. It's great to see the music information scrolled on the screen as each selection is played and the time displayed in standby mode is large and easy to see from across the room. I bought this radio because I wanted a small, internet-ready device that had decent sound. This one fits my needs perfectly!

I've been looking for a good internet radio for myself for a while. This one was reasonably priced and looked stylish. Over-all, the ease of use and quality of sound are excellent, it is a perfect addition to our kitchen... I may get one for the garage work shop.
