Our take on the Sangean PR-D18BU AM /FM / Portable Digital Radio

The Sangean PR-D18BU is a compact AM/FM portable radio with a digital tuner, a backlit LCD and a protective bumper around the case. It runs on AC power or batteries, has an adjustable sleep timer, and includes a built-in AM antenna. It suits bedside listeners, kitchen counters and travel use where a simple, sturdy radio beats a smart speaker. Against pricier Sangean models it gives up shortwave and richer sound, but it is easier to carry and simpler to operate.
