I've used this for almost a year now, and it worked really well up until last week when the menu screen failed. It just went black. The radio still works fine, but I have to flounder a bit to find the stations I want, with no menu feedback to tell me where I am.
I also find the buttons difficult to use, and have to sometimes hit them 2-3 times to get a reaction. The way they are recessed makes it hard to tell if I have really pressed them or not.
Still, I like the radio and wish there were more HD radios to choose from. I'll probably buy another if they ever go on sale!
I would recommend this to a friend WITH CAVEATS.
What's great about it: Sound, portability
What's not so great: screen failed. buttons are difficult to operate
