I used this at work and at the gym it had really good reception... I mean I'm in a metal building moving it around I would expect it to be less than perfect. Setting the presets was equal to setting one in a car, just push the button and hold when you find the station you like. The AM stations didn't come in but they hardly come in with a radio with an antenna either... but they were fine once I got closer to the windows/or outside. The FM stations were fantastic except for the low frequencies which are hard to get with most portable FM tuners. Overall don't expect a product to do something that it can't... metal buildings block radio frequencies, especially AM frequencies. Overall If you're looking for a no-frills easy to use AM/FM radio then this is a great investment.
What's great about it: Straight forward, user friendly, great belt clip, put a battery in a go.
What's not so great: AM didn't work great, but used inside a big building. FM worked well except for very low frequency.
