LEOTEC Portable AM FM Radio with Best Reception Battery Operated or AC Power Big Speaker Large Tuning Knob

The media could not be loaded. I got this LEOTEC Portable AM/FM Radio for my husband for Christmas and he actually uses it every day — which says a lot! Right out of the box the reception was much better than we expected. We don’t get great signals in our area, but this radio pulls in stations clearly, both AM and FM. The big tuning knob and clear dial make it easy to find stations, even for someone who isn’t tech-savvy. The speaker is bigger than it looks and the sound is clear and loud enough for everyday listening. It’s not a hi-fi system, but for a little radio it does a solid job. The dual power option (batteries or plug-in) is super handy, we keep it plugged in most of the time but can grab it and take it anywhere without fuss. The earphone jack is a nice touch too if you want quieter listening. Overall, this radio does exactly what it’s supose to do. Read more

This am/fm radio is a nice size for a portable.It requires minimum space, even with antenna fully extended. Powered by AC or 2 D batteries. It also accommodates plug in ear phones. Volume and channel controls are easy to use and the sound is overall clear. I had some trouble with interference when I first turned on the radio. After moving the antenna several times, I was able to successfully bring in my channel. Leotec offered four color choices and I'm happy with the red. Good price for a basic am/fm radio with a retro look. Read more

What a pleasant surprise when I opened the box and lifted out this radio and saw it was exactly as described! I chose the beatiful white one because I wanted to see it in the dark when my electric might go off due to a storm. It did not disappoint me. The station dial is so clear and the volume knob so easy to take hold of. I am a small woman, and my hands lack the strength to fool with tiny, slippery knobs. I inserted two "D" batteries and the sound produced was as loud or soft as I wanted it to be. I can also use the electric cord as an alternative. The sturdy, straight handle that runs the length of the radio is so convenient to grab. I feel prepared now for whatever the weather or other emergency throws at me. Thanks, LEOTEC for a great product! Joan D. Robinson Chesire, CT Read more

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. We have had trouble getting local stations where we live, but this simple little radio picks up AM/FM stations loud and clear. Very happy with this purchase. You can't beat the price. Well made. We currently have the batteries in it because if we have a power outage we wanted to make sure we could get local information. I live in Florida and during hurricane season it is crucial to have easy access to what is going on. Read more

The media could not be loaded. A truly great radio. It’s very easy to use with a single button for each function. It sounds fantastic and even makes a decent amount of bass. It can get quite loud without distorting but also sounds good at low volumes. The A/C power supply is built into radio chassis so it uses an old school plug instead of a wall wart which was always the hallmark of a good radio. The display is clear and bright with a white backlight. This is the best budget small portable radio I’ve tried in a long while. This will be my go to travel, beach, and camping radio for sure. I highly recommend this Leotec radio. Read more

I appreciate the digital tuning feature at this price point. However two issues. And these issues will result in me not using this radio for a longer period of time. Because they're quite annoying. The first is the reception. I have channels bleeding into each other and although the tuner is digital and you have it set precisely on the actual station frequency it is not clear. And this is for local stations and when I say local I mean within 5-20 miles. The second annoying feature about this radio is your inability to customize your station presets. It will simply scan through the entire bandwidth from the low numbered stations all the way up through 107 for FM. And what happens is it doesn't have enough storage space for all of the stations that it may hit. It automatically stops at each station but has a is interpreted as a strong signal and will save it sequentially as it moves through to the higher numbers. You will not get all the stations you might get halfway through the bandwidth and then there's no more memory. You can't start it halfway through or go back and edit them to free up space so you can add more in. So you're constantly having to tune the radio with the large tuning dial. Little feature is nice but the volume output is very low and that's with the volume on my phone at max. I'm using an iPhone 14. The tone is what you would expect from lower end plastic portable radio. Think transistor radios if you're from that generation. Good for mid range (talk radio) but no defined low end and lack of defining treble at the high end when listening to music. Clarity is absent. But, you get what you pay for. Read more
