I use a portable radio a lot, and I hate throwing away exhausted AA alkaline batteries. But most radios perform poorly on NiMH rechargeables because of the lower voltage and because old-style NiMH batteries self-discharge in a few days or a couple of weeks to the point that they need recharging again. This radio can use NiMH batteries with no loss of performance due to lower voltage. I recommend Sanyo Eneloops because they self-discharge much more slowly than ordinary NiMH batteries.
One word of caution though. You can recharge the batteries using the provided plug-in adapter, but because the recharge will be in series the batteries will not be recharged individually. This works OK for one or two recharges, but then the batteries tend to get unbalanced -- some will be higher voltage than others -- and performance will suffer. You will also observe a loss of energy capacity (the need for recharge will become increasingly more frequent). If you recharge the NiMH batteries in a good charger like a Maha or a La Cross, however, the cells will be charged individually and there will be no observed loss of capacity.

Looking for a bathroom radio that was easy to look at and sounded good and didn't cost a fortune. Found it. Sounds good and it's nice to have around.

I love the ease of use and the clear signal I get. I have not had any trouble getting stations clearly like I did before with others I have tried. I also love the rechargeable battery option. If you are looking for something to listen to music on you may want to go with the model that has dual speakers, but this one is great for talk radio and listening to the ball games.

This radio replaced my old clock radio at work. I bought rechargeable batteries, but usually keep it plugged in. The digital tuning is great. The sound quality is fine for what I use it for. I expected better reception, but for the all metal building I am in with many interferences distrupting any weaker signal, it is fine. At least I can now get the one "strong" station very clear. The sleep feature is also nice so that I can ensure it is off when I leave for the day. All and all, this radio meets all the features on my wish list and I should have purchased a long time ago.
