iLive Bluetooth Under Cabinet Radio with Clock, Timer & LED Kitchen Light

Bought "used like new" and it pretty much was, except one of the three mounting screws was missing. I picked up a matching one at ACE for 75 cents. Saved almost half on the radio buying used, so it wasn't a big deal. It sounds great. Has two speakers on the bottom, audio is clear. No tone controls. All the controls are pushbutton, and use the same display as the clock. That works for me. FM picks up the stations I listen to really well. At first I didn't even stretch out the antenna wire, but did after I finished the install under the counter. Presets are easy enough to set, but there are about 15 of them, and it appears that you can only cycle up through them using the single button. I'm never going to preset that many stations, I might add a third and then have them cycle through those three stations. The tune-up and tune-down buttons work just fine, they seek even pretty iffy stations. No AM but really I don't listen to AM. Bluetooth synced with my phone easily. Can control volume from either the phone or the radio. Sounds good, even pretty loud. The timer won't get any use. I tested it. Kind of painful to set, and it makes a really annoying alarm. We already have a bunch of timers. But it does work. I like the light on the bottom. I just turned it on and left it on. Control buttons are small and labels are dark. But there aren't that many to memorize. Battery backup, a couple of AAAs that were not included with mine, works for clock and radio presets. Doesn't save mode, which preset you were on, or volume setting. I bought it to replace an 80s GE that really looked good in our kitchen, but the audio has been degrading with 60 hz noise for a couple of years and I just got to the point where I hated it. Opened it up, didn't see any bad caps, shrugged and put it back together. Maybe someone wants a clock that kinda works as a radio... I'll leave it in the alley with a note. I was going to give it four stars because of the missing screw and the funny presets selection drill, but it was really cheap and I knew that all I wanted was go be able to tune in a couple of FM stations. It sounds better than I expected it to once I saw how small it is. I'm five stars happy.

Very nice sound (and FM reception) for such a small, inexpensive radio. Pretty easy to install, takes up no room in the kitchen. The sound is SO much better than a smart phone in a glass (or however you McGiver'd your phone to 'be' a speaker). Digital buttons for set-up are a little putzy....but does have a nice number of pre-set stations (that the user programs). One reviewer had a great suggestion - her husband set her 3 favorite stations multiple times in a row (e.g. station 1,2,3,1,2,3 and so on) so she is always only one or two button pushes away from a favorite.

Mounting was clear and simply instructions. Sound quailty and Bluetooth connection are good. Gets good reception on fm tuning. Only cons: it is very loud (I know the sound reverberates inside the cabinet). We have set the clock several times but it does keep time. Solid unit other than a couple small issues.

The perfect gift for my wife. This exceeds expectations. Does the job, super easy installation in 5 minutes ! Sound quality is decent

Good radio. Reasonably easy to use.

This little radio/mp3 player is great! It gets in a FM station I've never been able to get in very well at all in my house. It gets that station in perfectly with its supplied antenna. It connects to a cheaper mp3 player with its 5.2 Blue tooth without problem. The sound is excellent, loud, and not tinny sounding; just the right amount of bass. Very compact. People are saying they have a hard time reading the buttons, yeah, maybe at 4-feet away, but up close they're very readable, and I wear glasses. The light makes a great night light. For the money it's quite a bargain, and I've had a few of these in my 63-years of walking this mortal coil.

Pros: Compact Sound quality is decent. (Remember this is going into your kitchen) Bluetooth gives you great flexibility Antenna wire superior to the power cord antennas on many radios Installation is pretty simple Cons: The operating buttons are microscopic The writing on the buttons is even smaller Tuning in stations is a pain. It stops each time it finds a station. There is no way to keep going by holding down the button. Each time it stops you have to release the button and press it again. Setting up pre-sets is time consuming and the device does not always act as described. At one point I had to call support and the guy walked through a reset which meant I had to start over. Using the 20 presets you can only go up. Let’s say you are at preset 2 and want to go back to 1. You have to go up to 20 before it goes back to 1. Nineteen clicks. The display is only visible from certain angles.

Just installed this. The included template made the placement easy, and the included spacers have a clever design for setting the proper length. The spacers are necessary if the cabinet has an overhang. Haven't tried the Bluetooth but the LED lamp is good. In spite of what the product description noted, two AAA batteries had to be installed for saving clock and pre-sets during power outages. The product description stated the battery was internal.

Compacto, se instala bajo el gabinete de la cocina, viene con todo el kit de instalación, se opera fácilmente, tiene muy buen sonido, buena conectividad, todo muy muy bien

I liked how this radio was digital and a reasonable price. It arrived at my house quickly and I found it easy to install. The functions were easy to understand, but I scared myself silly when I set the alarm off by accident. It sounded like a smoke alarm. lol I wanted this radio for the kitchen which I leave quietly on all the time for background white noise. I have it for the radio stations, but I also realized it has blue tooth. It’s a good little radio and I would recommend it to others.

Muy practico para el uso en la cocina. Buena calidad de sonido y cumple perfectamente su proposito.

This is a great little radio - the install was straight forward - the sound is pretty good - works great! Simply turn it on or off with the power button. No more stumbling over words to try and get a radio station to play.....on/off. love it. The only thing I would change is the clock is a wee bit small for these old tired eyes. :) I would recommend this product.

Lo bueno : Tiene un bonito diseño y la recepción de FM es mejor de lo esperado. La conexión a Bluetooth es fácil y no presenta cortes ni interrupciones. El precio es muy bueno. Lo malo: Las bocinas son pequeñas y el sonido es muy agudo y sólo aceptable a bajo volumen. Los botones para el control de volumen y sintonización son pequeños, poco intuitivos y fáciles de confundir. Aunque el precio es muy bueno, sólo lo recomendaría para quien usualmente escucha a bajo volumen.
