Very Nice Radio for What it is and the Price, and Versatile. Plus BUG FIX
By Craig on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2022
I do really like this radio. The stereo sound is good for a small, compact kitchen radio. (Of course it won't match your 200 watt Onkyo receiver with Paradigm speakers in the living room.) I use it about 50% for FM radio and 50% to Bluetooth my SC Public Radio from my phone. But it's great to also be able to blast some CDs when I have a craving. Everything works. You should read through the instructions to get the finer points, as I just did after 4 months. *NOTE: At least one reviewer has stated that their radio worked for a while but then they could not get any sound out of it. This does seem to be a fluke with this unit. But I found that all you have to do when this happens is pull the power plug out of the back of the radio and plug it back in. Then it works fine again. I guess you could also pull out the wall plug; whichever is easier for your setup. I hope this helps and everyone doesn't have to send theirs back. (Of course, if you send it back the mfgr or Amazon is going to plug it in and say "Look, it works fine."

Sylvania-SKCR271 - Item sent was not the item ordered - photo does not match item
By Larry A. Calhoun on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2020
The purpose of a 'clock radio' is to be a 'clock' so that you can tell time and a 'radio' which picks up signals of a station and plays the sound. In addition to the photo of the product shown on Amazon not matching the product - one is gray in the photo but what was sent (and returned) is black - the panel which is all black with tiny indications of what to push for what purpose is both hard to see and impossible to negotiate making it, for me, totally inadequate. When I tune to a station, I expect the display to show the various frequencies until I arrive where I want and then revert to showing the clock. This radio never reverts to the clock but rather shows only the frequency - forever. Unhelpful! If you press display, the time will show momentarily but the display quickly reverts to the frequency. When you play a CD, the display shows what cut is playing and how many seconds have passed the whole time the CD is playing never reverting to show the correct time. Whoever designed such a product must have no idea what 'clock radio' means. Whoever thought it a good idea to make black remotes and black face plates for items often in a darkened room along with tiny letters indicating function obviously never used the product they designed or they would have seen the flaws. At first I thought I could live with the inadequacies so I placed white adhesive dots on the faceplate to indicate up and down volume, on and off and display. Then I discovered that the reception at least in my house which has a metal roof was spotty - fading in and out while I was in the shower seemingly dependent on the position of my arm. I looked for a place to attach an external antenna and found none - another reason NOT to buy this product. So here, I have outlined several reasons NOT to buy this product and I am baffled by the good reviews which are posted here which makes me doubt reviews as being authentic. I will reserve my judgement until I see if my review is posted or not. Under 'rate features' do you find it strange that 'reception' is not a quality to be rated? How about 'ease of use'?
