Awesome!
Awesome little radio, perfect for what i needed it for. It gets really loud, the sound isn't the greatest but it’s great for the price. Lightweight but feels decently sturdy. I wouldn’t go dropping it off cliffs or anything but it seems more than capable of sitting on a table. The antenna is long and stations with reception come in crystal clear. The analog display is easy to read and understand and the dials are satisfying. Definitely recommend!

Solid. Practical. Functional size. Reaches stations.
Nice, solid, straightforward, portable radio with what seems like good reception, even without using the antenna necessarily. We are in a more remote rural area and it seems to function pretty well (compared to some others bought over the years) for capturing stations that sometimes are hard to tune-in well. Speaker is fine. We have it out in our barn, and it’s not going to fall apart with the changes in temperatures from the cold in our experience.

Great radio, but just be aware of one thing.
Great little radio. Good reception on AM and FM, and sounds good for its size. I use it everyday. I decided to use the barrel jack power port on the side with a 4.5v adapter to eliminate the inside power transformers radio noise while listening to AM. Little did I know that the barrel jack would try to charge the batteries inside the unit. I picked the radio up and noticed it was warm. I unplugged it and opened the battery door. I put a piece of paper towel in the back to keep the battery door from buzzing while playing music, and a good thing I did. The batteries were warm and spraying an oily substance all over the battery compartment. I heard a hissing noise coming out of them, so I rushed outside and flung them into the snow. I didn't read anywhere in the instructions that the little port on the side was for charging. Great little radio, but just be aware to remove the batteries inside of it if using a external power adapter in the 4.5v port.

Does what it’s supposed to do.
This review gets right to the point: What you see is what you get. No fancy bells or whistles. Just a plain AM-FM radio with a touchy dial. The antenna works as it should, and the option for portable radio listeners is here with the option for batteries. The speakers are serviceable for a small area. A bit “tinny” sounding, but this isn’t a dealbreaker for this style of radio in the slightest. I wouldn’t recommend taking this to the beach, but for an end table or a small outdoor space it’s ideal. It also comes with a power cord for inside listening. I would recommend having this little portable radio for weather emergencies (power loss) or for small areas. It’s not for jamming out to, it’s more for staying informed and listening to a bit of music in a proper space.

I wanted tinny. This sounds real good for a 5w stereo.
Well after more time with it, here is why its not what I want, but it gets 5 stars: even on AM this thing will not turn into the busted FALLOUT noisebox I wanted. AM roughs it up a bit, but it still insists on being a clean, normal little stereo. It locks onto stations on FM and AM with almost no static to ride, so there is not much room to fake that drifting wasteland crackle. For a 5W unit it actually sounds very good: full volume is a little ragged but still totally listenable, and it is not tinny at all. What I wanted was the bass gone and the treble slammed, some “retro” mode that strips the low end and leaves thin, sharp mids. What I actually have is a heavy, solid shop radio where the power matches the speakers and the midrange sits perfect for country. The big surprise is reception: whatever they did with the antenna, it walks all over my DeWalt stereos. Not as loud, but it grabs stations and hangs on. So I am still annoyed there is no FALLOUT static box hiding in here, but for the price it is hard to argue with what it does well. Remember, radio ONLY, FM AM, thats IT, no aux, nothing. I think the fact its simple means the money actually went into what matters, and you can feel it in the weight of it, even though its exactly the size you would expect. Buy one, or three. Now I have to find a crappier product. What a weird review.

Excellent Sound Quality
The tone and range is wonderful. Now my husband and I have music when we have dinner. It is small enough to perch on top of the microwave, but the quality of the music is excellent. I wish I had bought this long ago. I didnt realize how much I missed music in my life. It is beyond worth the price.

Prunus Portable Master Blaster
The volume is amazing like a super blaster lol. Wait until you hear the sound, I had to bring it down some because its powerful. The knobs are easy to turn and the stations come in very well. Its a portable radio and can be easily carried anywhere. Prunus makes quality products, I have about 6 or more of their various radios. Get this one, you will not be disappointed. This is from a time before the super technology, machines and distractions...... Get this radio and enjoy, especially AM.

Prunus J-136 isn't bad if you are a FM-only listener.
I ordered this Prunus radio along with the Panasonic RF-2400D. The Prunus was to be my bedside radio. Long story short - the Panasonic's sound quality and sensitivity were vastly superior compared to the Prunus. I actually compared the two units side by side. On both bands (FM & AM), the Panasonic performed immaculately. If you are only a FM listener, the Prunus does a good job, but the Prunus seems to pick up noticeable background noise on the AM band since its speaker sounds tinny. Also, the tuning knob is unorthodox - when you jog to the right, the dial pointer moves to the left and vice versa. In terms of build quality, it wasn't bad at all. However, the power LED was on the side which didn't make any sense at all. Since I listen to AM, I decided to return the Prunus.
