I have owned this radio for 2 years. One of its best features is that it can be plugged it or run on AA batteries. The battery feature is a must for weather purposes. Anytime the power has gone out we have been able to rely on this radio to keep us...
Good reception, battery operation, weather band
None for us

I was given this radio (at my request) as a "birthday appliance" by my wife. I use it primarily to listen to NPR. Here in Honolulu, our public radio station is located fairly close to a 50 KW "rocker/rapper" station (both in frequency and distance). My...
Solidly constructed, excellent reception, built-in AC cord, decent volume, long battery
At this price? Seriously, you are joking, right

For the money I paid ($19.99 on sale)I am very pleased. My wife wanted a radio for the bathroom where she gets ready for work in the morning and this radio sounds great.
Size, AC/DC, Sound Quality

My mother in law loves AM radio late at night when she can't sleep. When her 25 year old radio finally died, she asked me which radio to replace it with. I had no clue, so I started looking for reviews. I bought this with a few recommendations from the...
Great AM performance The tuning LED
Uses 4 AA batteries - would like to see C cells for longer battery life

If you really want an emergency weather radio, look somewhere else. We live in Tampa Bay, an area which has at least two NOAA weather stations supposedly within range, and neither could be heard on this radio. It's not bad as a general-purpose radio,...
Good sound on AM and FM
Radio band simply doesn't function

I purchased this radio in hopes that it could replace a small portable radio that had poor reception. I purchased this ICF-36 online through www.sonystyle.com - what a mistake that was.
Great looks and nice list of features
Poor tuner and audio quality

Solid body. Sturdy. Huge antenna. Does a great job picking up stations where other radios have failed me. 4" speaker is great. Get a stereo to mono adapter from Radio Shack for a few dollars and you then can use your walkman headphones. Has a high/low...
Good sound Good reception
Mono plug

I purchased this radio at Frys electronics for about 27.00 including tax. The ICF-36 is a moderatly small portable radio, that runs off of 4 AA batteries or you may plug it directly into a ac outlet. It recieves AM-FM, tv sound of channels 2-13, and...
Very good sound and sensitivity on AM-FM and TV sound
Poor selectivity on FM, and poor sensitivity on the weather band
