At this price point, this alarm clock radio (HDR-19) is fantastic for its design, build quality, ease of use, sound stage, and features. It's not an eyesore like so many other models out there. The smooth wooden cabinet looks great. It's heavy (in a good way) and the buttons and knobs feel solid.I was looking for a simple, high quality alarm clock radio that would last for years and wasn't as expensive as the models from Bose, yet not cheap looking like so many Sony Dream Machine-esque models on Amazon, and I found one.I initially considered Sangean because we have had one of their waterproof shower radios (H201) for years and it still works flawlessly. So much so, we've gifted their shower radio to family and they absolutely love them. Highly recommend the H201 as well.After a couple of minutes familiarizing yourself with the buttons of the HDR-19, it's very easy to use. The materials are high quality, it gets fantastic reception with its large telescoping antenna that can be tucked away out of sight if needed, and looks like a work of art compared to the janky under $20 basic clock radios that you find in kids' bedrooms or hotels, or the $100-$250 overpacked models that have way too many buttons and look like iPhone docks from the early 2000s.The buttons and knobs do not feel cheap and the display is crisp, dimmable, and only has all the information you need for a clock radio with an alarm function. You can set two alarms to individually be a buzzer or a radio as the alarm with settable volumes for each.I really enjoy the gradual build up to the preset volume of the alarms and the sound quality is very impressive. It includes bluetooth, which makes it a great speaker to use for background music if you are having guests over or the like.

I had an HDR-18 and replaced it with the 19, aside from the cosmetic improvement, the HDR-19 has a much better display, slightly bigger, fuller sound- it's big claim to fame is adding Bluetooth connectivity.The HD radio performance on FM matches or exceeds that of the 18, AM is decent though I have no HD AM stations to test it on, and the Bluetooth audio is outstanding and being it's version 5.2, it supports all the latest lossless codecs. It does not have a microphone, so it will connect with a phone as a speaker only.You do get FM Stereo out of the headphone jack, just like the HDR-18. If you want a quality HD table radio with Bluetooth, look no further. One annoyance that carries over from the HDR-18 is the lack of backup for the clock/alarm. If the radio loses AC power, you're screwed. It will wipe the alarm settings so don't rely on it unless you connect it to a UPS. The remote is completely different than the HDR-18. I wish this had the HDR-18 remote, which is full size with well placed buttons. This one is a little sparse and hard to make out the legends. It is not backlit but at least Sangean includes two AAA batteries.Other than this, it is a fine, well made and solid wood cabinet that has a full size speaker with 15 watts of power, more than enough for a bedroom or office. If your TV has Bluetooth out, it also makes a great bedside speaker.

I am so happy with this purchase! It’s so pretty, and I enjoy the backlight, which creates a cozy ambiance in low lighting. The sound is quite good, as is the reception. It can play much louder than I would ever need, without distortion. I use this radio daily, and it pleasing just to look at it :)My reason for 4-stars: one of the buttons came loose within weeks. It would pull right off if I’m careful. A small detail, but important to me.For this price, or any price, I expect the buttons to remain attached with normal use.Guests always comment on how pretty the radio is.

Great little radio, tons of value from a radio that’s just a bit smaller than a composition notebook. A lot of sound and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. (Picture for scale)I like this radio so much, I’m getting a second one for my mom for her birthday. It has all the functions of her old CD-radio, but the sound quality is so much better because the hybrid-digital eliminates static on the stations she listens to.The good:- phenomenal sound quality. At least as good as a Bose or JBL speaker.- Sangean is a legit business that has been around since before I was born, so the product is solid and well-made.- simple to use. Any functions on the radio are controlled by turning the “tuning” knob left to right and pushing down on the “tuning” knob to select / confirm options. The knob “clicks” like a button if you push down on it.- it has a sleep function so you can have it on as you’re going to sleep or leaving the house and it will turn off after up-to 60 minutes. (To use the sleep function, you have to hold down the power button for about 3 seconds)- it has a little “signal” icon in the top right corner that shows how strong your radio signal is, so it makes it easier to pick up on weaker stations.- it has forty (40!) memory presets: 20 for AM, 20 for FM. That’s more than enough for the number of stations I can or want to listen to.- it comes with a little remote control and it even has batteries included.The mediocre:- the instruction manual is non-existent. It comes with a QR code to scan which takes you to the virtual manual. I couldn’t be bothered with that so I figured it out on my own. It was pretty simple to figure out after messing around with it, but I think I’m going to be learning about this thing’s functions for a few more days.- you have to hit the “menu/info” button to scroll through the station info on any radio station that has digital data. The default display is always going to be call-sign. If you want to see the station name or song info, it doesn’t scroll through those automatically, so you have to push the button if you want to see more info.The neutral:- it’s A/C powered only, so if you’re looking for a portable or emergency radio, this isn’t it.- the four modes including Aux-cable is a bit outdated, but at least it has Bluetooth functionality. If you want to connect an old CD or cassette player to it, you could do that, so that’s pretty neat I guess. Anything that has a headphone jack is fair game to connect to this radio as long as you have an aux cable.If you’re looking for a standard AM/FM radio with great sound quality that can double as a Bluetooth speaker, this is it. You should get this one.

This radio has a Retro look to it. Excellent controls. Easy to operate. Tuner is exceptional. Back light on dial is a bonus. Quick set up. Check Sangean Website for more information. Well worth the investment.

I have quite a collection of radios, and this is the best table radio I've ever owned. The dedicated tweeter is the icing on the cake.

If I had to recommend a radio/mono Bluetooth receiver to anyone, this would be it.
