Waste of money

The line to see what station you're on doesn't work.

Perfect for those power outages

By Paul
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-15

I determined that a radio with AC power and battery backup was invaluable during the recent power outage from Helene. No lights, TV, or internet, but at least I had music! If it had a digital tuner, it would have been 5 stars.

Do you sell 220-240volts electronic items.?
Asked by: SAMUEL S.
While most of the items we sell are designed for use in the United States, we do sell many products that are 220 V, 50 Hz, or dual voltage. Dual voltage or 210-240 V items are generally labeled.
