This is a good quality basic radio with MP3 playback using micro SD, SD and USB. It is quite compact and rugged as described. It looks pleasingly clear. It has one of the best speakers I have come across in this price bracket. Not a cheap 0.5w speaker but one that can carry watts. Consequently the sound is good. The radio is nothing special really, but works well and tuning is light and smooth. The MP3 function is again basic but the sound is really good. It comes with mains power or D type batteries, not supplied. This radio will run a very long time on D type batteries. I remember the days when radios like this would use a PP3 battery, nothing like as good. Very pleased with it. Great radio.

I was looking to purchase a portable radio for the bathroom, so I could listen to BBC Radio Three, BBC Radio Four and the World Service on FM.I wanted a radio which was robust in design, simple to operate, aesthetically pleasing on the eyes and would sit well in the bathroom. I wanted a radio with manual rotary dials (frequency tuning, volume control, function selector, band selector) instead of push button operation. I also wanted a radio which was reasonably priced and available in Black, because the colour really does matter.With this in mind, I searched through the website, spent a considerable amount of time looking at all the radios. Most of them were disappointing (poor design, wrong colour, poor display) in one way or another. In due course I found the following Retekess brand and three models, TR618, TR604, TR633 of great interest.My only disappointment, a small one at that, is that it would have been even better had each radio come with a good quality, black leather zipped case thickly padded. I would have been happy to have paid more to include a case.I'm extremely pleased with the purchase.

Not bad for the price.Reasonable build quality.More bass would be nice but it is fine for my needs.I like it

It's a brilliant radio clear sound good value for money

Excellent radio qualityBest buy and works on batteries as well brilliant
