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!

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.

Although I gave four stars this is a excellent radio with some old fashioned flavor. It looks similar to a 1975 Sony radio I have except it’s smaller. If the dial had a backlight it would really take on the 70’s feel. The dial also doesn’t line up with the station. It’s not a huge problem but noticeable. The Bluetooth sinks with my IPhone easily and the volume is good for a radio this size. It’s a radio not a boombox so if you want deep base you probably will want to try something else. The antenna is also helpful for removing any static from the stations. Overall I am pleased and I enjoy listening to my favorite stations. This brings back a lot of memories!

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.

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.

I bought this for its bluetooth feature. It is excellent for that. as a bonus you get an am/fm radio. the fm quality is very good. the am quality is only fair. we only have a few am stations. I prefer only one am station in this area so am satisfied with it.

Attractive with good sound, but the tuning is off (dial does not line up with known stations). Reasonable price and major stations are tunable.
