Sony ICF-M410V Portable FM AM TV Weather Radio wit
The following report compares gadgets using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Note: due to some search engine quota, not all result is available yet.
Rating: 4.15/5 from 13 reviews Perfect for the price!Great Radio .....but NO PLUG included!!Buy this radio-- but buy the plug along with it!!! I love these Radios w/TV sound reception!! (great for the office, kitchen, bathroom, BLACKOUTS!!) I've owned others- a Sony, a GE and a hand held portable/transistor - so I've got a lot to compare. This radio is VERY nicely designed--compact and portable; easy to read and set. Sound quality is VERY clear and it's nice to have the sleep timer and push button tuning (MUCH better than to fish for the stations on a dial). The color: "putty" is a bit outdated. (Black would have been better), but it'll do. All and all it's a GREAT little radio!!! But....here's the disappointing news....There's NO adaptor included!! NO way to plug it in. WHY?? You'd think those adaptors would be the easiest thing to include. (how many old ones have I thrown out??!) Anyway, it says that you HAVE to use a 4.5v adaptor (and of course what's left in my junk drawer are a 3, a 9 and a 5.5v). So now I have to figure out where to pick up this adaptor! And that's why it only received 4 stars! Also--I don't remember being prompted by Amazon to make this additonal purchase when I added this item to my shopping cart. (...Hint to Amazon...) Anyway, just be sure to purchase the adaptor when you buy this radio and you'll be a happy camper (these TV/radios are GREAT for camping, too...) Solid performance, great buy!This is the latest version of a radio Sony has been producing for years (I own the original version). The radio performs like a champ, with great sensitivity, selectivity, and clean audio. Use it virtually anywhere. Although you have to get an a.c. adapter separately for it, the unit gets great mileage and plenty of sound out of 3 AA batteries. The controls are precise and convenient. Put this radio up against any other in its price and size range, and I guarantee you'll go with this one! Every so often, Sony produces a product with great design, perfomance, durability, size, and value: a "Sony classic". This radio is one of those products. If it is the type of portable radio you are looking for, look no further. | ||||||||||||||||
Yet incredibly, a few rocket scientists downgraded it for not having stereo or home-theatre sound quality. That's why you have to check out the reviews individually, rather than go by the average "star" rating.
