PRUNUS 136 Portable Radio

Nice, solid, straightforward, portable radio with what seems like good reception, even without using the antenna necessarily. We are in a more remote rural area and it seems to function pretty well (compared to some others bought over the years) for capturing stations that sometimes are hard to tune-in well. Speaker is fine. We have it out in our barn, and it’s not going to fall apart with the changes in temperatures from the cold in our experience.

Well after more time with it, here is why its not what I want, but it gets 5 stars: even on AM this thing will not turn into the busted FALLOUT noisebox I wanted. AM roughs it up a bit, but it still insists on being a clean, normal little stereo. It locks onto stations on FM and AM with almost no static to ride, so there is not much room to fake that drifting wasteland crackle. For a 5W unit it actually sounds very good: full volume is a little ragged but still totally listenable, and it is not tinny at all. What I wanted was the bass gone and the treble slammed, some “retro” mode that strips the low end and leaves thin, sharp mids. What I actually have is a heavy, solid shop radio where the power matches the speakers and the midrange sits perfect for country. The big surprise is reception: whatever they did with the antenna, it walks all over my DeWalt stereos. Not as loud, but it grabs stations and hangs on. So I am still annoyed there is no FALLOUT static box hiding in here, but for the price it is hard to argue with what it does well. Remember, radio ONLY, FM AM, thats IT, no aux, nothing. I think the fact its simple means the money actually went into what matters, and you can feel it in the weight of it, even though its exactly the size you would expect. Buy one, or three. Now I have to find a crappier product. What a weird review.

This is going to sound crazy, but I live on a farm and I raise a lot of chickens and I have found that when I play music for my chickens, I get more eggs and they seem to be calmer and happier. So when our older radio finally beat the dust, I decided to pick out this inexpensive model and give it a try. I was really surprised at the sound quality because it just it’s boom right there. It is plug-in power the reception even out in the henhouse is perfect. It’s black and you really don’t see it, and it was very inexpensive for the price that I paid. The volume works wonderful because we live here in Florida. It gets very hot and I have many fans running for the amount of chickens that I have to cool them down and I can turn the volume up 3/4 of the way and it plays over the the home of the fans. My chickens love it. I love it. It works great.

This review gets right to the point: What you see is what you get. No fancy bells or whistles. Just a plain AM-FM radio with a touchy dial. The antenna works as it should, and the option for portable radio listeners is here with the option for batteries. The speakers are serviceable for a small area. A bit “tinny” sounding, but this isn’t a dealbreaker for this style of radio in the slightest. I wouldn’t recommend taking this to the beach, but for an end table or a small outdoor space it’s ideal. It also comes with a power cord for inside listening. I would recommend having this little portable radio for weather emergencies (power loss) or for small areas. It’s not for jamming out to, it’s more for staying informed and listening to a bit of music in a proper space.

I have this radio in my bathroom and love it. You are able to tune it with the knob and not digitally- which makes it easier and more accurate I believe. Also I like that I can plug it in and just leave it. The sound is good as well and the price very reasonable.

Had the radio for about 6 months and it works well. Appreciate the simple knobs for easy adjustment, the option of batteries or plug in for power, and connects to all our stations. It’s lightweight and easy to move around the house.

I only give 3 stars for this radio. AM mode is almost useless if you have it plugged in to an outlet, unless it's a very strong station, it has a loud AC hum. You can still hear the hum slightly with a strong station on AM. The FM receiver is great. I pick up sooo many stations at my location on a hill. Do not expect boomy bass with this radio. For in my garage, and at $20 it's good enough for me. It can get pretty loud without distortion, nice clear sound with mostly midrange characteristics. I use FM almost all of the time, so I guess I'm happy with it. We'll see how long it lasts I guess?

Product is built more sturdy then it looks, Superior sound quality even on very low, Perfect size knobs for older fingers, Radio station Reception come in very clear. Has a rather nice looking retro style setup. Would buy another if needed in future.

Excellent little radio. Great sound, clear voices. Seems to be well made, sturdy. For the price, I believe that this a very good buy!! Easy to use. 5 stars from me.

I really like my new Prunus portable radio because it has great reception and I have the option of using batteries or plugging it in. I especially like that it is large enough to be stable unlike my previous portable that tipped over. The Prunus has two simple dials and specific AM and FM frequencies are easy to pick up. The affordable price would be hard to beat for a product of this quality. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this particular item as it's a good buy.

Works great, nice and compact. I highly recommend. Works great with a power hub when the power goes out.

fonctionne très bien , bon son . Petit , pas encombrant ( voire les dimantions ) . Peux de boutons , donc pas compliqué . Il se branche au mur ( génial ) . Je l'adore et le recommande .

This is really cute! ... Perfect size, can take anywhere ... Sound is clear soft & precise, I find the Control Knobs too close together to Comfortably use the controls & being small & lightweight, Antenna fully up, ur fingers get stuck trying to turn knob & radio looses balance & flips around ... but if ur finger's r small then ur un luck ! Lol ... its a Nice Little Radio though! Try it out ! U Decide !
