Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Grundig S350 Deluxe AM/FM/Shortwave Radio, Black
Customer Review: Great radio for the money !
Summary: 5 Stars
I did considerable investigation into the radio prior to purchase. I wanted a "very good" radio without having to spend a lot of money. I like the size of the speaker, it projects a full natural sound. The quality of AM is what I had hoped for. I can receive all the stations in the west side of the state with only a need to rotate the radio to maximize the signal. With the analog tuning, I can quickly find the center frequency. Having the fine tuner adjust makes the process easy and with a feeling of quality. The controls all work as expected.
For the money, you can't go wrong with this radio.
Customer Review: Frequency drifting
Summary: 1 Stars
This radio will not stay on frequency once a station is tuned in. It drifts away sometimes right away, sometimes after a minute or two. When searching up or down using the tuning knob at some points (random) the led frequency readout starts spuriously jumping around and ends up at a completely different frequency. This makes this radio completely useless to me. I have read other reviews since purchasing this Grundig radio and the reviewers report the same problem. This problem is no reflection on Amazon, it is a shortcoming of this particular Grundig model. I do NOT recommend it to anyone.Customer Review: Grundig S350
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this radio because it was supposed to have an outstanding tuner that picked up weak FM stations. The tuner is no better than the tuners in the other 6 radios in my house and in fact is far worse. When you tune in a station the Grundig drifts up and down off the selected station requiring almost constant retuning. It might be great on SW and/or AM but I bought it for weak FM stations and it is terrible. I would have given it no stars but that was not an option.
Volume is also a problem. At maximum volume is not very loud at all.
Not recommended.
Customer Review: Poor quality. Ok for everyday listening on AM/FM but not on shortwave. Waste of time and money
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a big fan of the Grundig Satellit 750 but the Grundig S350 Deluxe just needs to disappear. There's nothing "Deluxe" about it. It's cheaply made, especially the tuning knob. It wobbles like if it was going to fall off when turning. Ok for everyday listening on AM and FM but horrible on shortwave. Audio is fairly decent for AM and FM. This is an analog radio with a digital display. Just a waste of time and money. I really have nothing more to say about this radio. I highly recommend the Grundig Satellit 750 instead. Now that's a real general coverage receiver!Customer Review: Grundig S350 Deluxe AM/FM/Shortwave Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
Plug it in then *** READ THE DIRECTIONS ***
I find the display difficult to see at times without adjusting my angle of view.
I purchased the unit for AM use during power outages.
I like the fact it has the option for 4-D cells for battery power.
I have not been successful with tuning in SW stations.
I have picked up AM stations LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Utah, Washington and Oregon.
We now use the unit to air a small station 70 miles away during the weekends.
I find the AM sound quality acceptable for this use.
