What's great about it: Easy to use and navigate within the menu
What's not so great: Initial setup with ur own WIFI.

"I love Grace internett radio. It is probably the best gadget for the price and it has tons of music. I have Pandora and once u got into the menu and put in your account I could stream my own stations that I have spent months to create! I love how you can stream from windows media player and that it allows you to listen to radio stations all over the world. If this box doesnt satisfy you nothing will. There arent many BBY employees that knows about this product so there is a chance these reviews online are the only research info you could find. I promise you that you wont be sorry spending the bucks for this unit. In the back it has an audio out that could plug into your computer speakers or to your home theater system. Cool if you want it louder. Wish I knew about this product long time ago!!"

What's great about it: Accepts strong network encryption key
What's not so great: Instructions are not very clear for set up and finding the MAC address

"I am a fan of Internet radio and own three Roku's. For the bedroom I first tried the Denon system but it would not work with our network. I owned a Grace previously, but sold it as it took "forever" to hook up to streams. Best Buy said if it didn't work, return it. It works and far better than the previous model. However if it were not for prior experience with a Grace product, a new owner would have problems finding the set ups. The instruction book is not oriented for the beginner."

What's great about it: Easy installation, great sound quality

"Everything about this radio is great....the retro look, the sound, the ease of use. The way you can set up your stations through Reciva. I use the sleep timer....Great to have one that you can program for more than 90 min.
No negative comments at all....If you're thinking about getting one..,do it...the price is right for the quality you get. Not often that you can say that

What's great about it: Thousands of stations to choose from
What's not so great: Can't think of any.

"I just purchased this unit A few weeks ago. Setup was easy and I'm amazed at all the stations you can choose from. Even though there aren't that many presets, I use the "my stations" option that the radio has when I want to play A favorite station. All you have to do is set up an account with Reciva at their website. Very easy to do. I have about 25 favorites stored so far using the "my stations option". This unit is well worth the money and I'm thinking of purchasing another."

What's not so great: Setup was a bit difficult

"This is new technology, so there will be some growing pains, but once you get your wireless connection setup, this unit has sooooo many possible stations. The sound quality is amazing! I did find this online @ Best Buy for $40 cheaper, so I will have to bring it to the store for the price match guarantee. Overall, this radio is a big hit!! I highly recommend it to anyone!"

Yes, get one!   01/22/2009
By Magelloracle from Cape Cod

What's great about it: Easy to set up, GREAT audio, Streams Sirius
What's not so great: Only 5 memories

"This was easy to set up even with my network security. It's got great wifi reception- I used it on the opposite side of the house where even my laptop has an issue. And what about the audio...nothing short of awesome. It streams sirius (you must have the cd quailty stream upgrade with sirius for it to work) and Howard Stern comes through as his usual basy self. It's got a nice weight to it and feels well built. The display is a cool blue, easy to read and menu is easy to navigate. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!
I eyed this for a few months before I bought it and my only regret was not buying it sooner.

What's great about it: Easy set up, plays Pandora... plays everything well
What's not so great: buffering delays but they seem more minimal every day

"It exceeded my expectations. Sound quality is great, although I use the jack in the back to put it through my stereo. I never expected it to play my Pandora channels the way it does. Employee at the store admitted he'd never met anyone who had tried one but it works great. Had several labels stuck to it but a little latex paint remover took care of that. I'm still exploring the first batch of internet stations the software helped me find and I've been using it well over a month. You can listen to Folk Alley from Kent Ohio or WBBM news radio from Chicago with just a turn of a dial... BBC... the whole nine yards."

What's great about it: Variety
What's not so great: instant access, long pauses

"I knew I had to have the Grace Digital Wireless Internet Radio as soon as I saw it. It's a bargain for what it delivers. I actually use it in the bathroom while taking a shower, or listening to music while working in the next room (my office). If you can deal with a few pauses here and there, and getting through the quick programming process you'll love it like I do. I bought one for my wife. Shhhh, don't tell her."

"This is such an amazing radio! I LOVE it. I dont understand why more people have not heard of this. I love listening to Pandora.....now I dont have to have the conputer on to listen to it! This is one product that I bought, I would pay double for...it is that good,
I am thinking of buying a couple more for Christmas presents...and maybe one more for work!

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Have Not Found Anything Remotely Not So Great

"This is one AWESOME radio. Never in my life have I had any product work more smoothly out of the box. It accomodated my WEP wireless security like no other product. Other electronic manufacturers should pay attention and see what a well engineered well thought out product is like. The radio presents you with an incredible selection of programming streams from which to choose. The speaker's audio quality is first class. The digital display is easy to operate and gives you artist name and song title, if it is provided by the site that is giving you the stream. I went to two BestBuy stores. I could only find one staff member who could tell me where the Grace radio was in the store. No one had the basic knowledge on how the radio operates. In fact the box was in the back of the shelf on top of another AM/FM radio. There was no display to look at. DO NOT let that stop you from buying this unit. If you decide to go to the store, IT IS WORTH THE HUNT!"

Very nice radio   08/11/2008
By Samamori

What's great about it: Good sound and worked out of the box
What's not so great: not really

"I bought this product because all the reviews I read said this has the best sound for the money. After all isn't that why you buy a radio? So I bought it and it does sound VERY good. It doesn't have a remote but not really sure I would use a remote anyway.

Its nice to listen to tunes without having to turn my computer on or bring my laptop into the kitchen.

Awesome Device!!!   04/09/2008
By Russ1977 from Saginaw, Michigan

What's great about it: TONS of channels with excellent sound!!!!
What's not so great: None!!!!

"This is the greatest thing since sliced bread! The radio is so easy to use, plug it in - it automatically finds the network and prompts you for the network key and then you are off and listening to music from around the world!
I never even heard of this type of device, but ran across it as a 'hot-deals wednesday' sale offering at Best Buy and thought that it looked neat and $150 later it is one of the best toy purchases I have made in at least a year!
It is too cool and everyone I show it to wants to get one also! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Fun Product!!!   02/24/2008
By NYCarrie

What's great about it: Lots of Choices
What's not so great: Wish it worked on Batteries

"I got this product for Christmas and have been enjoying it ever since. This little box has provided many hours of enjoyment.
My husband moved us across the country. Now I can tune into my local radio station where i grew up. My kids enjoy listening to stations from other parts of the world.
Its been fun for the whole family!

Amazing Product   12/03/2007
By Scotties

What's great about it: Ease of Set Up And Use
What's not so great: I cannot find any

"I was kind of intimidated by the thought of trying to set up the unit, but it was so easy. Pretty much plug it in and sit back as it sets up. The sound quality was very good as a stand alone, and when I connected it to my home stereo, the sound was fantastic. Finding stations is so easy....and so much fun. You can search by
location, or by genre. Thousands of stations all
over the world at the touch of a button. An absolutley
amazing product.
