This pocket radio earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it produced the highest quality sound and reception, was the easiest to use, and had a superior build quality and features. It received 34 FM stations, 19 AM stations, as well as a combination of weather band, shortwave, and very high frequency radio stations. Each station was received clearly on The Best Pocket Radio while lesser models generated excessive static and provided as little as 22 FM stations and 5 AM stations. Rated as the easiest model to use, The Best unit had a simple-to-operate interface and could be controlled via a digital app, while inferior models had unresponsive interfaces that made operating them difficult and tedious. Its superior build quality included a sturdy case and smooth buttons, while lesser models were weakly constructed and had buttons that would stick after pressed. Superior features on The Best Pocket Radio included 396 recordable station presets (99 for each band), keychain hook, backlit LCD display, sleep timer, and an alarm clock function. Charges via USB-C. 31/2" H x 1" W x 2" L. (4 oz.)
