1 | Extremely informative | I have tried several of the glazes from the book to great effect. I have also begun experimenting with some recipes with knowledge gleaned from the book and have been impressed with the results. While glazing is an art in itself, this book allows you to monitor the firing etc. in such a way as to best replicate the results shown in the book. As a beginner to the art, this book has been invaluable in learning the roles of the glaze constituents as well as firing techniques etc. The glaze recipes have also been very useful. I would definitely recommend this book. | positive |
1 | Good Book | Very happy with this purchase. The recipes are all laid out and organized very well. Easy to find what you're looking for and lots of good pictures. | positive |
0 | bad format | i bought this book because it was supposed to have a bunch of info about a glaze I use , laura's turquoise. Couldn't find anything on it though. This book has some glaze recipes I would NEVER use. Barium glazes and a strontium one too.Not that I can figure out what the pictures go to. None of the pictures seem to fit the info. it's all confusing and most of the glaze recipes you can get online or elsewhere or are just pretty common. It does have some interesting info about some of the glazes and leaching (prolonged exposure to acids) enough that it scared me off of wanting to use a few of the glazes i was interested in.maybe better for a nonfuntctional potter... | negative |
1 | A Wedding Expert Tells All | Another great book by a leading authority in the wedding industry! I liked the specific answers offered in the book for each situation. There was a lot of helpful advice, which is useful to anyone not familiar with planning a wedding. The money saving tips were also valuable. | positive |
0 | Over-hyped and not recommended | Honestly, I don't know what people see in this knife. My regular chef's knife is better by far. Perhaps this knife is good for wonderbread-type sandwiches, but it takes real effort to slice through crusty bread. I'm sorry I spent the money. | negative |
1 | Buy this knife | Am I ever impressed with this knife - makes any bread slicing (even a stale baguette) a pleasure. Good price, excellent item | positive |
1 | A "Must Have" Knife for the Home Chef | This inexpensive knife is loving referred around my house at the "dick knife." It rests in a block with my Global, Shun and Henkel blades and get used as much or more as its blockmates. The ergonomics are what make this a delight the use. This replaces the "dick knife" that a I gave away to a house guest who fell in love with it - and that's the second time that's happened. So here's my review summary - buy it. | positive |
1 | A great knife | Works like a charm. I highly recommend. I have had it for over 3 years, & it's still going strong after heavy daily use, as my all purpose knife. | positive |
0 | Not What It Appeared to Be | I was very anxious to solve my property management problems with QuickBooks, and was taken by the title. Unfortunately, I didn't notice in the description that this is a 99-pg. spiral bound book. And it costs over $40! It is very basic, fairly elementary, and does not give extensive information with various scenarios as one might expect from a real BOOK! Additionally, in skimming the book today, I notice that the proofreader wasn't up to the job.This guide is OK for a beginner, but it's more a "Quick Start" guide than anything else. | negative |
1 | Perfect for beginners | This gives you basic 'quick start' guide immediately! Perfect for beginners (for both quickbooks and property management). Easy to understand and you can easily get used to managing your property accounts through Quickbooks software. Not like other overwhelming computer software manuals or boring real estate account instructions. | positive |
1 | Keb Mo Blues Guitar Video | Found this tape very useful for the intermediate player. Has some intermediate to advanced chops on finger style flat top that are the roots of a lot of electric blues. I've been picking songs off by ear for years but Keb Mo has some exotic sounding but simple chords- if you see where they are played. Beats the hell out of $30.00 worth of private lessons! | positive |
1 | Yummy, but ..... | I really like this instant miso. It is delicious and much better than the other instant ones I have tried. I love the convenience and the little bits that make it hearty and satisfying. My only complaints are the MSG and large amount of sodium. A couple of people in my family have strange reactions to MSG, and I wish I could get the soup without it. | positive |
1 | Finding Your Beat | I discovered Asher and Lotus Path during a span of time when discomfort resonanted with more rhythm than my pulse. No need for breathing skills, no need for "still-ness" skills. Listen. Listen whether you are still, at work or at play - Lotus Path will find you where you live, breathe, hide. Before it is finished with you, you will want to rid yourself of the non-essential just to keep the beat of this leitmotif. Peace truly costs little...CS Marvel | positive |
0 | History without context | I have recently finished this book, and I must echo the others in their criticism of its inability to answer any difficult questions. I was also put off by spelling mistakes, poor grammar, and bad maps. (The incessant use of "gain touch" when "gain contact" was the intended words were especially irritating.) It succeeded in its goal of being a history of the "Military Role" of 'Das Reich,' but I found it was just that - a chronological order of some of the engagements 'Das Reich' fought in. History without context to the greater conflict surrounding the division.--Mike | negative |
1 | Good buy | Helpful guide for viewing wildlife in ohio. It was inexpensive and nice to add to my field guide collection. I am happy with my purchase. | positive |
1 | Emperors Rule | the best of the series in my opinion, tying in nicely with the first and last book and giving a ripping good story. | positive |
1 | Very Good Whistle! | I am a Physical Educator, Coach and Referee and this whistle works great. It has a great sound and it's comfortable to hold. It is also very easy to clean and would be a great persent for a Coach, P.E. Teacher or Referee. | positive |
1 | A terrific overview of the near-death experience | This was the first book I read on near-death experiences. That it has not been the last such book has much to do with the high quality of The Case for Heaven. Cox-Chapman is an excellent writer; she also has the wisdom to approach NDEs with just the right mix of curiosity and caution, producing a volume that is rich in the scope of the material it covers, and judicious in the conclusions it draws. All in all, it's a wonderful first stop for anyone wanting to begin an exploration of the NDE phenomenon. Highly recommended! | positive |
1 | I loved it. | Hi- I read this book when I was just 11 years old and I loved it. It was spritually uplifting and enlightning. Thanks Mally | positive |
1 | Just lost my Mother | I just lost my Mother, and read this book. She was a friend of Mally Cox-Chapman, and had this book for years, but I never read it until I lost her, and it was such a comfort. It corroborated many stories I've heard over the years, but best of all looks at the NDE from an unbiased perspective and covers many ranges of cultures and beliefs. I felt after reading it there is true evidence that there is a loving, comforting world waiting for us beyond the physical one we're in now, regardless of your ubpringing or current beliefs. | positive |
1 | Undiscovered Little Gem of a book | This book is a series of essays and reprinted magazine articles on modern day Witchcraft by people from different walks of life.Some are Witches,some are professional writers and reporters, a couple are just curious.Each person shares their perspective and experiences on what Witchcraft is, was in the past and what it can do.Even though this book is short{144 pages}, it gives an amazing and detailed overview of the Occult/Witchcraft scene all over the world in the late 60s and early 70s.This is especially interesting because that was the time of the great Occultic revivial in the US and Europe.That was a very interesting period for the Occultic arts.One that anyone studying the Occult today will no doubt want to learn about.I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know about that time in Occultic history or is interested in Occultism/Witchcraft period. | positive |
1 | Informative and a great read for kids | This book is terrific. It is great for any child that is in the beginning years of school. It educates the reader about cystic fibrosis and assists children in dealing with classmates or friends who may have cystic fibrosis. My seven year old son thought it was informative and fun to read. There should be more books of this kind. | positive |
1 | Great resource for parents and fun for kids | As a parent educator and a mom of 2 kids with cystic fibrosis, I can't say enough about this book and the whole series in fact (there is one for diabetes, asthma and many other conditions). Young children learn best from pictures and the artwork in this is great. There is nothing "scary" in it about having CF, it is informative, matter-of-fact and hopeful.My own two children (with CF) loved it when they were younger and received a black and white version from the CF clinic as a coloring book. I highly recommend it for younger children with CF and their siblings.For a parenting book about how to raise kids who have CF and other health issues, see:Parenting Children With Health Issues: Essential Tools, Tips, and Tactics for Raising Kids With Chronic Illness, Medical Conditions, and Special Healthcare Needs | positive |
1 | Anthony LaPaglia makes this movie!! | Anthony LaPaglia really shows off his acting abilities. He portrayed the character from every angle of emotion. I was on the edge of my seat in suspense as to what would take place next. This is definitely a movie where you have to keep your attention on the movie to enjoy every minute of it. I had wanted more even after the movie was over. I really wish they would consider a DVD release as this is one of his great films. This is on my top 10 list of movies. I recommend that you see this movie to see what one mans determination can do. I became a Anthony LaPaglia fan back when I saw his "Innocent Blood (1992)" a cute horror/comedy. I really enjoy his newer TV series "Without a Trace". | positive |
1 | Magnificent, eloquent...stunning | Irving goes where other authors fear to tread...this book will shock you, upset you, outrage you and most of all bring a new perspective to political motivations of the post-war West. This book must be read at all costs! Only David Irving could have brought us this objective and bold piece of work! Other works on Nuremberg look amateurish compared to this.Bravo Amazon for offering this! | positive |
1 | The "last" World War II History Book | Nuremberg, the Last Battle by David Irving is truly the "last" World War II History Book. It sums up current knowledge about Nazi atrocities far more accurately and using far more original sources than anyone else's work. The incredible thing, in this day and age when the world is once again pursuing "world courts" to punish crimes against humanity, is how many of the charges even against the Nazis could not be easily proven, or were crimes also committed by the victors.This is not a picture of triumph, or of anything a rational person would ever want to see imitated.Irving, as always, footnotes to an extent unheard of by any other historian, and his footnotes are always where the "juicy", controversial stuff is. That's for you to discover! | positive |
1 | Didn't think it would be this good | Though familiar with David and his books, I had never read one. I thought it was going to be dry. Not so. The book is very pleasant to read and understand. Jacksons' battle with Goring was very interesting and Speer's turning surprised me as he never sounded like this in his book (written in Spandau I believe). I recommend this to history buffs regardless of their revisionist or, lack thereof, leanings. Well documented and interesting expose' on international and retroactive legal ideas! | positive |
1 | fair amount of proverbs | This book has quite a few proverbs. some i knew before, most i didn't. All are really interesting.Some proverbs in the book have a dodgy origin (not quite sure they are Yoruba originated) but they are all very interesting. Great way to learn the language. | positive |
1 | Wall Street & the Rise of Hitler by Anthony Sutton | Mr Sutton's book is a remarkable resource. In the first few chapters he clearly shows the support of American banking and industry to Germany, to the Nazis and to the war effort itself. The First Chapter speaks of the Dawes and Young plans and there connections to JPMorgan banks. Chapter 2 delves into IG Farben and there incredible role in the creation, incubation and nurishment of the Nazi state and armaments industry. Also their ties to American IG Farben and Standard Oil.In subsequent chapters he addresses American Industry behemouths like GE, Standard Oil, ITT and Ford.Mr. Sutton also addresses the larger implications of interlocked corporations running governments from the shadows and the deeper implications for the United States and the world. History is much simpler when you just follow the money. | positive |
1 | USSR used Wall Street to give money for Hitler. | I read this book here in Brazil.It is available free on internet.This book has many chapters talking about the money pumped by famous americans, to Hitler's gang.Good work, but this book didn't showed you openly, that the same banks and companies, who gave money to Hitler, also gave money to Lenin or were big USSR's costumers before.To example, Ford Motor Company gave money to Hitler, but this happened after big business between USSR and Ford Motor Company.In fact, before Hitler took power, in 1933, if didn't gave money to Hitler's gang , you couldn't be a great USSR's costumer. | positive |
0 | Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler | Unfortunately, this book has been a huge disappointment for me. I have always wondered how a war starts and who is in charge of all attrocities we see on TV every day. After reading this book I have come to the same conclusion as ever. There are no conspiracy theories behind wars. Money is insensitive and always seeks the safest ways to persist. The same thing happened in the WW II. The financiers spotted a chance to earn a fortune and they just did it. I have no doubts about their earning money in the wars that are taking place around the world at this moment. The financiers did not conspire with Hitler. They were just doing business as usual. Only a complete conspiracy theory freak can see a conspiracy in this book. And as far as a history book is concerned, this book is a complete failure. | negative |
1 | Very deep, complete and an eye opener. | This book is very detailed. So much so that it is easy to get lost in the facts. However, the detail is needed to support the subject.Mr. Sutton leaves the reader very angry with the "powers to be" for sacrificing the lives of so many in WWII for the sake of money. The reader discovers most of the horrors of this war could have been avoided.He makes the danger of the Council of Foreign Relations more real.This is a must read for everyone, especially if you are a believer in the Constitution of the U.S.Be sure to read Appendix A.Jerry | positive |
1 | Outstanding work | This is one of those books that make you want to buy all of the books in the bibliography just because the information is so shocking you want to investigate it for yourself. It is very interesting reading. Now, whether all of the conclusions the author draws are correct or not I don't know yet, but I'm working on it. | positive |
1 | Captivating research ! | The capitalist establishment financed and helped create the Soviet Union. This same establishment also financed Nazi Germany. The clash between these two financed systems gave birth to the world order that we have today.Once again, Sutton has brilliantly revealed a great historical truth about betrayal, and about orchestrating conflicts that make money and reshape the world order! | positive |
1 | Lady Alicia Had A Plan... | Since the gallants who courted her were enchanted only by her face and her fortune, Lady Alicia Morgan Fitzhugh St. John was determined to seek true love elsewhere - away from London and all who knew her.So she created Morgan Fitzhugh, a gentlewoman of modest means and in need of employment. Answering an advertisement, Alicia was hired as personal secretary to Darcy Cummings, Baron Pennsfield. But then her strategem broke down. The baron was uncommonly bad tempered and seemed to take an instant dislike to her.Clearly, love still eluded Alicia - but in the meantime, she just might enjoy a battle of wits... | positive |
0 | thermostate controller | the thermostats fan control worked for maybe 2 weeks and it stopped working I thought it was the fan but I checked it with a tester and it was working fine but now I'm stuck with it | negative |
0 | Failed the first day of use | This product seemed high quality, and installed without issue. It worked fine until it was used at full temperature to cycle the fans. With the engine cool, it now doesn't matter what the thermostat setting is, the fans are always stuck on. The relay doesn't seem to be stuck, it looks like the temperature sensing system failed.So, it broke after only 1 use. Would not recommend. | negative |
0 | not as pictured | I also ordered this product thinking it was a clutch fan and I got it today and it was not a clutch fan. thermostatic cooling fan control? not what it said on the box in the picture. What I have is completely different! | negative |
0 | the picture on the item is not what you get | Since there is really no description besides being a thermostatic fan control I assumed the picture was correct and that I was ordering a fan clutch. Got the box today and low and behold the item I got was an electric fan thermostat that mounts in the radiator. I have found that Amazon has quite a few discrepancies in the name of the item and what the part really is. Another discrepancy I found was a power steering pump for a 1992 Ford F-150 with a 4.9 liter engine. The description was for a replacement pump but the photo was for a inline P/S pump filter. After reading the reviews apparently I'm not the only one who got fooled because several other persons went by the description and ordered the part only to receive a fluid filter. Amazon needs to take a good hard look at its online parts catalog and look for another source of catalog data. | negative |
0 | Not about a boarding school at all | First off, the jacket description of this book is evidently about another work. It is about an opera singer in the Austro-Hungarian empire who never goes anywhere near a boarding school. While this book delivers the required amount of sex, and some amusing period pieces, the translation or the writing dilute the enjoyment. The editors can be blamed not only for slip-ups throughout the text but for a major plot jump between two sentences late in the book. Readers looking for a fun, 'costume-drama' dirty book would be better served by Blue Moon's Belle Sauvage or Black Lace's Elena's Destiny or Darker than Love. | negative |
1 | Sangean DT200VX Perfect for Backpacking | I had previously been backpacking with my old Sony shortwave but needed a replacement and found the Sangean radio mentioned in the backpacking forums so I looked into it. I purchased one and was favorably impressed with the feel and weight. With Lithium batteries it is light enough to carry in my packpack on long hikes.The reception in the backcountry (places where cell phones never work) was great both day and night. The antenna makes a big difference. The sound from the speaker is great.If you are looking for a light backpacking radio I recommend this product. | positive |
0 | Not impressed - at all... | I bought this to take fishing in the Snake River Canyon in Idaho. I have a cheap radio that doesn't get too good of reception down there, so I got this one to improve the receiption and sound quality. Well, its not as good as the old cheap one... The only reason I give it two stars is that it is 'cute'... | negative |
0 | not satisfied | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006HOKR/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title this product says its being slod as a ghost box but it does not work like it should. it has no white noise to be heard on either frequency. i do not recommend this to anyone, but if anyone has any information on how it is suppose to be used please tell me | negative |
1 | PEPPER | GREAT RADIO JUST WHAT MY HUSBAND WAS LOOKING FOR GOOD SOUND AND GOOD SIZEAND ALSO A GREAT PRICE | positive |
0 | Can't be a ghost box! | All the 2012 models(the one they just shipped me)and up have been changed by the company to be "un-hackable" i.e. you can no longer alter it to be a ghost box. The new models mute when you scan. Why the manufacturer changed this should have you raising your eyebrows. They don't want people listening to spirits, eh? | negative |
0 | not what is was supposed to be | its advertised as being able to get TV stations.it dosent!that was the only reason i was going to spend $50 on thisothewise i could have bought a 20 or 30$ sony walkmanbooooooooo | negative |
1 | Great Radio! | This is a great radio.The reception is very good in Southwest Virginia (that means mountains). I use this radio for several hours each day, both at home and at work. The digital tuning and the presets make finding a station really easy....I am very glad that I upgraded from my Sony.The earbuds sound great and stay in my ears. Battery life is ok, but I have managed this by using some rechargeable batteries.UPDATE:10/14/2009Still solid as a rock. I have dropped this radio on the pavement several times and except for some minor scratches it is perfect. Reception is very good.TV channels are now obsolete, since the digital conversion, but I rarely used them anyway.Still using rechargeable batteries and I change them when the battery icon indicates a low battery.One of my favorite possessions. | positive |
1 | DT200VX | This radio is well made and gets great reception in my fringe area. One disappointment is no preset station buttons, requiring you to scroll thru a list of saved stations to get to the desired one. | positive |
1 | Dynamic Pocket Radio | I am very pleased with the Sangean DX200VX pocket radio. I am an AM talk radio junkie and use it mostley on public transportation to and from work. I used to carry a Grundig AM/FM shortwave radio with pushbutton features. It had better reception than other portable radios I had used, but it was heavy and too big for my shirt pocket.The Sangean DX200VX gets good reception on the train and fuel buses. It gets static on Electric buses and in tunnels.One of the ear buds broke and they were not that comfortable. Ear buds are cheap and they all break. No big deal.Quality of sound and crispness is excellent. Nineteen preset stations is nice. Battery life is excellent. I am pleased with the product and recommend it. | positive |
1 | Who Knew Sangean Was So Great? | I cannot believe how great Sangean portable radios are! Appears to be solid, excellent sound, great features for such a small radio. I now own two of these, and would buy again and recommend. | positive |
1 | Great radio | I have been using this radio for some time now and it works great. Battery life is fantastic. I would buy again if this one happened to die but I don't see that happening for a long time. | positive |
1 | For a compact quality radio consider this one. | Crisp digital tunning and controls, solid housing. Ear buds provided are mmmmm, but with good ear buds you end up with a nice sound. Speaker is ok for it's small size. AM reception is quite good, FM at times is spotty but could be my area. I don't think this is a good choice for jogging, you would have to hold it or keep it in a pocket. This radio is a level above most compact radios(2 1/2" x 4") and I really think it is worth the extra green backs. | positive |
0 | Good -- then Failed after 1 year | I used this to listen to news/talk radio in the middle of the night, if I was having trouble sleeping. The only action this radio saw was soft sheets and down-stuffed pillows. And it worked well, for almost exactly a year.However, out of the blue, it now stops producing any audio when I change channels... Thus, it's become basically useless. It sometimes works -- but more than 50% of the time doesn't... change the station a couple times, and it fails. The radio is still on, but clearly there's something no longer working. I've used the radio a lot -- almost every night for a year. I'm assuming some cheap parts were used, and have literally not stood up to a year's usage. Warranty is only 90 days -- for good reason. | negative |
1 | Five Thirty to Seventeen Hundred | I didn't necessarily buy this for the external speaker sound quality (which was predictable from a one-inch speaker), or its FM reception (which is iffy in the heart of an urban environment, that's endemic with most Sangeans). I bought it for its sound quality through headphones (bass boost helps a lot), and its AM reception. And those work as advertised. | positive |
1 | Sangean DT-200X FM-Stereo AM/FM Digital Personal Receiver | Pros:Best companion while barbecuing, beach tanning, etc.A very good throw-back functioning AM/FM radio with single speaker.Cons:Needed to purchase better aftermarket headphones. | positive |
1 | Fabulous little digital radio | Great sound and reception when using ear plugs or ear phones, Digital = No drift, Excellent battery life. Easy to use. Nice range for both AM and FM stations. Compact and light weight. No need to spend more. The best I have found for the money. | positive |
0 | piece of junk ! | will never buy this product anymore ! quit working only after few days ! rip off !!!!!!!had to trash it !!! | negative |
1 | Great Little Radio | Had an earlier similar version that also had a TV band. This is a good emergency/ general purpose radio. Just bought one for my husband. We live in the NY metro area and at night receive signals from Canada (love AM 900 CHML...love their Old Time Radio Programing) to the north the Carolina's to the south and even Chicago. Local reception is excellent and this radio was terrific after during and after Superstorm Sandy and other occasions when we lost power for many days. Best things if you use it at night has a 90 minute shutoff, has many presets, is lightweight and depending on the type of headset excellent stereo reception on FM. | positive |
0 | cheap construction plus lousy service | i bought two of these (color me stupid). both had the same problem. If you drop this thing, the speaker wires get yanked at the plug and the connection gets broken. when i called for service i was told "if you dropped it - no help." This is a pocket portable, presumably good for listening while on the move and it was not designed to withstand any stress at all, dropping being the most obvious hazard. The radio works ok and the controls mostly make sense but it is very pricey for something you will never, ever be allowed to drop at pain of kissing your warranty good bye. | negative |
1 | Sangean DT200VX | This Sangean DT200VX pocket radio is by far the best of some 6 radios I have owned! The reception is superb. I can even receive fairly clear reception inside stores, warehouses and even in a Radio Shack store with all it's electronic interference. Battery life is very good. For it's size, the speaker is very good quality. I love the 90 minute shut off timer. The "MY" favorites channel selection is a great feature, allowing you to change to only the channels you have stored in memory. This is a real quality radio. | positive |
0 | Poor Sound | The sound quality is so poor that it is next to useless to me and I'm planning to buy a different radio. | negative |
0 | DON'T | REALLY SIMPLE IN THE RIGHT CONDITION IT MIGHT BE A GREAT RADIO. WHERE I WORK IT'S A P.O.S. IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE WROTE A FEW MORE REVIEWS WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. | negative |
0 | Worst soundingportable ever - I returned it | This was theworst sounding portabl;e radio I ever heard. I have a $5 radio that I purchased in Walmart that outperforms this. DON'T BUY IT! I returned mine right away. | negative |
0 | Disappointed In Reception | I looked at this item for a long time. Read the reveiws, which were all over the place. Some people thought it was great, others said it didn't pick up many stations. I live in a rural area and I must say I had my doubts when I finally ordered it. My intention was to use it hiking on the trail, and beable to catch the local news and weather on the TV channels. Well the one TV station it picks up isn't local, and it will pick up a total of 4 radio stations (which I could pick up on my $9 radio). Now the sound is good on those 5 stations, but I expected more for the price. | negative |
0 | Not what it claims to be | I bought this thinking it would continuously scan and I could use it for a spirit box. Not the case. I will be returning it. | negative |
1 | Good quality radio | I like the size of this radio.......it is easy to carry in your pocket. However, I expected the signal strength to be better. I live 50 miles outside of Los Angeles and have a hard time picking up am stations. I have had cheaper radios that can pick up stations easier. So, a bit dissappointed but it is a good radio that is overpriced. | positive |
1 | WOW! I love it. Recommend it a dn would buy another!!! | Really good reception, great ear buds, handy, easy to use. Great for games, walking, wire to motorcycle helmet. Super good sound! Only thing I need is a pouch for it..... Would buy another for myself or for a gift. Battery lasts for long time.You won't be disappointed! | positive |
1 | Just what I was looking for | Exactly what I wanted. Automatic turn off. Great for using at bedtime. Reception better than any other battery operated radios I have had. | positive |
0 | I'm trying to like this radio... | As the title says, I'm trying to like the DT-200X. I had the DT-400 for a couple years, and it worked great, until I dropped it into a mud puddle. Electronics do not like mud puddles! After deciding I did not need the weather radio function I decided to try the DT-200.First try, out of the package, put batteries in the radio and a static noise came from the speaker whether the radio was on or off. Returned it. Tried the DT-210 for a while and I decided I did not like it for various reasons.Ordered the DT-200X a second time. Out of the package, put batteries in, turned on the radio, and tuned it to a station... No sound. I made sure the speaker switch was in the correct position. Returning this one and requesting a direct replacement of the DT-200X.I like the functions and button/volume control positions of the DT-400, and will give the DT-200X a last try. I'm hoping it will not disappoint. | negative |
1 | Portable Radio | Excellent Product. This is probably the best small portable radio available for the price. Great reception. It has an automatic shutofffeature of 90 minutes which I love. It comes with ear buds and extendable antenna. Fits in shirt pocket and can be carried almost anywhere. | positive |
1 | Radio Review | Great little radio. Be sure to plugin either the antenna or earphones,they really improve the reception.Had a hard time figuring out how tosubmit this review though. | positive |
1 | Great Radio! | I bought this for my husband who works outside. He loves it! The AM stations come in pretty clearly and he is able to listen to his talk-radio shows. He loves it and it is easy to use. I would recommend to anyone. It definately met our expectations! | positive |
1 | Sangean DT200VX shirt-pocket radio | Sophisticated shirt pocket radio for personal listening. Small speaker does NOT have "room-filling sound." AM &FM reception very good. Good adjacent-signal rejection. Serves purpose well when it is not possible to listen to a table-top radio, or sound system. | positive |
0 | Worst AM/FM radio ever | I like Sangean. I have owned some of their Shortwave radios that were great. Bases on that I bought this and its pure junk it has a horrible time staying on any station. | negative |
1 | Sangean pocket radio | The Sangeon Pocket radio is one of the better pocket radios that I have used. I made the mistake of putting a magnetically sensitive transit pass in my pocket when the radio was turned off and the transit pass still demagnitized. (My fault and not the radio) | positive |
0 | not that happy | I purchased this in April. It is now mid-June and already the FM & TV signals have failed. Can only pull in AM ...which I never listen to! Have tried twice to contact the company (e- and snail-mail), but they don't seem to be listening and/or responding. Hoping to be able to submit a more positive review of their customer service and this product soon ... | negative |
1 | Great reception, great item | I bought this for a trip to Japan, where the tour guide "broadcast" his commentary to us as we walked down the streets so we could be inobtrusive and not look like a bunch of gawking tourists. My reception was much better than many in my group. My batteries lasted the trip and still kept going afterwards, even though many other participants' batteries died. I now use the radio at home and the sound is so much better than any other radio I use. The ear "buds" are perhaps not as comfortable as other types, but they didn't bother me. That is my only qualification. Exceptional product, highly recommend if you are looking for a portable radio only. | positive |
1 | Best one yet | I've been hunting for a long time---looking for a pocket-sized radio to take along on long walks, and which would allow me to receive our local PBS FM station, KPBS, which has a notoriously weak signal where we live. The Sangean has the best reception of any I've tried. True, there are isolated 'drop-out' spots due to buildings, topography, etc, but in general I get good, strong, listenable reception. I'm very impressed with the features and apparent quality.Highly recommended! | positive |
0 | Not Happy | Only had the product for a week and the power button cease to work - could not turn it on. Shipped it back to the company. Not too happy that I had to pay additional shipping charges and enclose a check so I could get it back. Haven't heard from the company. It has become an expensive pocket radio for having it one week. | negative |
1 | I love this radio | I have had many radios but this one is the best! I listen to the radio at night a lot to help me sleep. Due to chronic back pain I either listen to the radio or have to take pain pills and I much prefer the radio to the pills. This little radio has a ton a nice features that fit my needs exactly. It gets good reception, has a feature that allows you to program in your favorite stations even though they may be on different frequency bands and also has a great, auto-off in 90 minutes feature that I love. I plug it into a pillow speaker and it really works great! I'd buy another on in a heartbeat! | positive |
1 | A very good purchase | I am very pleased with my Sangean radio/tv. I have had approximately two months and use it at work. I can listen to NPR's Fresh Air every day and I don't miss any of the morning news on NPR. This is an excellent product. | positive |
0 | When I received the radio it didn't work. | On 8-25-12 I received a DT 200X FM Radio from Amazon, and out of the package the top tuning button would not work and the Favorites Button would not program stations into memory. On 8-27-12, I sent the radio to Sangean Customer Service, First Class Postage $3.48. As of 9-26-12, I have not received a replacement radio. They refuse to send the replacement radio until I send a check for $6.00 postage. Why should I have to pay $6.00 postage, when the radio did not work from day one. Sangean's Customer Service stinks, and this is what you will be dealing with if you purchase from them. | negative |
1 | Sangean DT200V | This is my THIRD DT200V - need I say more?But you can ask me "why three??". Because the first two died the same death after about 5 or 6 yrs of use: the blue "on/off" switch died (I think) and could not turn the thing on :-(But being the best little radio around (I love to listen to "GMA" in the morning while I run around getting ready for work) I keep replacing them with the same, hoping that Sangean will improve/fix that pesky "on/off" switch sometime soon. | positive |
0 | Dead Electronics | Sangean makes fine radios. This is not one of them. After about four months of use, all the electronic tuning features suddenly disappeared. So all I can do now is turn it on and off. I can't change stations or use the AM/FM/TV selecter. I'm just glad the last station I was listening to before the electronics failed was NPR. | negative |
0 | Great While It Lasted, but | My Sangean DT200V pocket radio failed after 2.5 years of infrequent use. I kept it in a padded pocket of my briefcase where it experienced no significant shocks or temperature extremes. It worked perfectly on the few occasions when I used it over the 2.5 year period, until yesterday. The buttons, switches, and display still work perfectly, but only very faint white noise can be heard, whether via speaker or via earphone. The volumn of the faint white noise is not significantly affected by the volumn control. The batteries are new, and there is no corrosion from the previous batteries. | negative |
0 | I do not recommend | From the first minute I tried the unit I found that sound was not coming out equally in both headphones. Thinking the headphones may have been bad, I plugged in a new pair and found the same thing. When I moved the jack sound would come in and out and it appeared the connector was loose inside. This came with a manufacturers defect and now I have to pay $6 and shipping to have it looked at under the manufacturers warranty! I purchased this for football season and by the time it get's looked at and returned we will probably be 1/2 (or more) through the season - what a waste of $39. I also found the reception to be fair at best. The AM band is very directional so I could see myself constantly moving it around at games. I recommend another choice. | negative |
1 | Good little radio | The sound coming out of this radio is not bad, but it's not perfect. The sound distorts if you raise the volume too high either with the headphone or built-in speaker. Even though it's not perfect it's probably the best sounding mini portable radio I have ever owned when you use the headphones. The external speaker sound is nothing to talk about, it can be improved, which is ok if your listening to a talk show. | positive |
1 | Good Pocket Radio | The first radio I received was defective. I received a replacement within 3 weeks. So far I am pleased with the performance of the radio. The FM & AM signals are very strong. The back lit display is very good. I also like the clock feature. So far, I am very happy with this purchase. | positive |
0 | Sangean200 VX AM/FM/TV Radio | Reception not so good. Not easy to find the stations. There is no longer analogue TV reception in USA so that facility is useless. Would not have bought it if I had tried it first | negative |
0 | caveaT EMPTOR | The belt clip is useless. The radio easily falls out of your pocket and is damaged! The radio desperately needs an arm band like on Memorex radios. One half drop of rain or even humidity causes the radio to stop working for days up to forever. A lot of dealers overcharge for shipping. The radio often stops working spontaneously. Only sometimes does quickly removing and replacing the same batteries restart the radio. I am NOT talking about dead batteries | negative |
1 | Unique Little Radio | I have been very pleased with the Sangean Portable. It is small enough that I can take it with me on my bike rides. It has very sensitive tuners and picks up stations that none of my other radios can touch. The ability to set one of the buttons to sequence through your favorite stations is quite handy. The lock switch is absolutely necessary, otherwise a accidental touch of one of the little buttons can change the settings and interrupt one's listening. The batteries seem to last a long time. I highly recommend this little wonder! | positive |
1 | A Super Performer! | I've sampled a lot of portable radios over the years; this one really takes the cake. It is most excellent for sensitivity and selectivity, not only on FM, but also on the AM and TV bands. Battery life is great, sound quality is good and the unit has all the features I could want, including many presets and a stereo-mono switch for FM. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the design of this little radio and it's good to see that at least one manufacturer still produces a quality pocket radio. | positive |
0 | TV audio? not for long | I'm sure this radio is great--HOWEVER, you will not be able to get TV audio once television switches to digital in February. I contacted the company:"No, DT-200VX will not be able to pickup DTV signal.Thanks !"caveat emptor if that is a feature you're looking for. | negative |
0 | Sangean DT200VX AM/FM/TV Portable Pocket Radio | I read the reviews before my purchase of the Sangean DT200VX and found most favorable so I decided to try it even though the cost was considerable. My purchase date was 03/26/2009. Unfortunately for me the audio stopped working just 2 months later on 06/03/2009. I'm very dissapointed. | negative |
0 | Improved but still hard to use | I had an older model of this radio that gave up after many years of use. This model has been improved but gobbles up battery power quickly. You will be soon buying rechargeables. Also, it's difficult to "program" and use the presets, even with some improvements over the previous model. The TV audio is useless since it covers only channels 2 - 13 or so and the volume drops when you select that band. Don't bother with this turkey. Look into a Sony Walkman at about 1/2 the price. Ray | negative |
0 | junk FOR SALE | I HAD THIS RADIO FOR SIX MONTHS WHEN THE BUTTON FOR PRESETS BROKE. IT WOULD NOT WORK. SO I CALLED SANGEAN, VERY DISAPPOINTED. I HAD TO SEND IT BACK WITH $17 FOR REPAIRS. THE CASE NEEDED SOLDERING. STICK WITH SONY. THIS RADIO IS NOT WORTH TEN DOLLARS. 90 DAY WARRANTY JUST ENOUGH FOR THEM TO RIP U OFF!!!!!THIS IS THE SECOND SANGEAN I HAD TROUBLE WITH AND WILL BE THE LAST!!!!! | negative |
1 | Sagean DT-200XFM Stero | I gave this unit 4 stars...that said the only thing I didn't care for was the ear buds that came with the unit. Didn't fit my ear all that well and kind of funky looking as well. Other than that very please with this unit. | positive |
0 | Circuit-Bending | There's possibly 20 pages of useful information in this book. maybe 15 interesting ones | negative |
1 | can't put it down | Bought this for my musician son for Christmas & he's having a hard time putting this book down. He's been playing circuit bent items for a while & can't wait to roll up his sleeves & create his own instruments. | positive |
1 | Just what I needed... | I just started looking into circuit-bending about a month ago. I googled the term and thankfully found Reed's site. It was both inspiring and informative. This book reads the same way. Without speaking over the head of the reader, this book holds much information on the subject. It is full of tips, pictures and diagrams that will have you on your way to creating your own interesting instruments. Though circuit-bending deals with electronics in so many ways, he still covers the aspects of instrument design. This book has it all, so check it out. | positive |
