Great looks but poor performance |
| If you are looking for a radio that has good reception and tunes well to AM and SW radio stations this is not the radio for you. On the other hand if you just want great FM reception, decent stereo sound, light weight, alarm clock and above all a sexy looking radio this might be an OK choice. I bought this radio in December 2004 but returned it in three weeks. I took the radio with me on my travel to India. On my way to India I was hardly able to tune to any world band(SW) radio stations. While in India my dad's ten year old no name brand, made in India radio performed much better when tuned to AM and SW stations. Overall this radio was a disappointment. I am still giving it two stars for good looks and FM reception. |

Not a recommended product |
| Sensitivity is below par on short wave. I also own a Sony ICF-SW7600GR - a much better radio in all respects. If you want a good radio for short wave listening, buy the Sony. |

Flash But No Substance |
| The Grundig G2000A is like the pre-TV series Anna Nicole Smith: hot looks, feels great, but not something you want to have around day in and day out. To be sure, it's one of the nicest-looking radios you'll find, but as a shortwave receiver, it lacks a lot: doesn't tune the whole SW spectrum (why these radios just don't cover the full 1.7- 30 MHz range is beyond me) sensitivity leaves a lot to be desired, and selectivity (ability to separate closely-spaced stations) is in adequate. Plus, the audio is on the tinny side. For the $80 or so bucks you will normally pay for this, you can do much better. Probably Grundig's worst model. |
