  I'm tempted for $40, but no headphone jack (WTF?) and extra charge for a battery pack is a turn off.

  No headphone jack.
  Only use special battery pack.
  Mono speaker (which apparently is rather bad)
  :(

  And the reviews at DS…
  "This is a very basic model…
  it needs a bespoke battery pack to be portable!
  I was offered the battery pack for $15 instead of a refund, and took the deal. In retrospect, it still wasn't worth my $55.
  tinny sound
  no headphone jack
  no sleep function (limited bedroom use).
  And it's hardly "palm-sized" - more the size of a big man's hand."

  "There are two drawbacks though.
  First… not portable unless you want to fork out another $40+ on the battery pack.
  The second - and more significant - is the very ordinary sound quality.
  It's tinny and almost painful to listen to it. That's why it's in my kitchen - to deter the would-be burglars who have stayed away from the radio."

  So mains powered non-portable portable radio, with no audio connections, tinny speaker, …
  Seems of little use. Pass!

  I'm glad to see that no one has neg'ed the actual bargain post, because…technically it's a good bargain at 50% off…just a pity the product isn't any good :(

    Its a problem when a deal may be 'technically' good in terms of money saved, on a product bordering on the 'technically' bad!

    If it is as bad to listen to as stated in the reviews - is a deal on something you do not want to use a good deal at any price??

    Since you need to pay a lot extra to make this portable radio portable, the price advantage fades.

    Some reviewers on DS seemed to regret the purchase, so they wasted their money (at same price - 50% off), which by definition is not a good deal.

    So many of those $30 radios were returned as faulty/DOA straight out of the box!
    Sound & volume were marginal, often turned itself off for no reason or failed to work with batteries, auto tuning button was too easy to press - wiping all the presets, Chinglish manual had mistakes regarding setting up presets, and there were more issues.
    I looked up this one as an alternative to the Aldi one!
    If this is worse that that Aldi - oh boy!
