I used it to replace an old radio I had in the bathroom to play while I showered, shaved, etc. Great sound, plenty of volume, takes up very little space.

What makes this a good portable radio is that it can use two source of energy , batteries and AC power cord. There is flashlight built into the radio which I think will be good for emergencies ,like when the power goes out. The telescopic antenna ensure you can pick up any radio station in your area. The radio is easily tuned, the station numbers are easy to see. You can play music or audio books by connecting it to a mp3 player or a cell phone. The connection works no matter what bandwidth you are on. It also has an earphone jack. You have to proved your own earphone and aux cable, the radio do not come with these things. Never the less it is just right size radio for your traveling needs.

This Prunus radio has good DSP reception on the AM and FM bands. It has a pleasant sounding speaker and features solid construction. Operates on both AC and three D batteries. Includes a flashlight making it a good emergency radio as well as a good everyday receiver. Definitely worth the price.

It was just what I was looking for. Not too big and reception is great. I have a radio/CD player, but it only has FM, I wanted AM and FM. It fit the bill and the price was good. Recommend

This radio is a nice looking radio that has a nice build quality. The radio does well on AM stations as well as FM stations, The shortwave band picks up some of the stronger station and is a lot of fun to tune up and down the SW bands to see what you can find. I would say it's more of a AM FM radio with SW as a bonus.
The radio runs on 3 D size batteries and should play for a very long time on them. The flashlight is bright and useful for finding your way in the dark. I do wish it had a light on the dial for tuning in the dark. The dial is big and easy to read but a added light would be nice.
Al in all I would say this radio is a good buy for the price of around $20 or so.

This radio have lots of features including flashlight, FM, AM, SW1 and SW2 band. I was able to pick up stations on all bands.
The price on this radio is very competitive compared to other brands. The speakers are pretty good.
The only improvement that I suggest (for future models) is to make the handle able to rotate back and forth.

The Prunus J-15 is a four band portable radio, which can be used either with batteries or AC cord.
Ostensibly, this unit was intended for boomers: simple analog controls, aux input for audio sources, and a flashlight that is a solid plus during power outages, like we just had here in Texas.
What lies beneath the simple exterior is a very sensitive, and highly selective RF front end, which teases out weak signals, and locks in on them, providing robust, noise free, sound.
There are no tone controls, as the tonal balance, which favors the older user, sounds just right, even with the volume set low: I keep mine on the local NPR station, just to get a little classical while I review patient records.
Feel is solid, with a simple on-off volume control on the top, and a slow fast tune knob on the side. Other than the light and band sliding switches, that is it. This is not a multilayered nightmare.
The aux input works well with my MP3 player, and there is a very nice headphone jack, which I have not used, but works properly.
One positive for me is the short wave bands. I've been a short wave listener since the sixties, and this unit, even with the telescopic antenna, picks up quite a few AM stations on the 80 - 15 meter bands.
I heard CRI, Radio Havana and the Vatican, without any effort.
Is this a short wave listener's dream radio? No. This is a practical radio, for emergencies, or for an older listener, who finds the modern units more daunting.
I would recommend this without hesitation, and I've placed it in the garage, with extra D cells (it needs three) next to it.

I was very pleasantly surprised with this radio. It sounds as good (to me) as my Sony ICF-19, as a comparison. The Attenna is nearly TWICE the size of the Sony. Ironically, with my Sony, I have to raise the attenna to get my FM stations without static. With the Prunus J-15, I do NOT have to use its attenna at all for FM. So the tuner on my Prunus is excellent.
I like the volume control on top SEPARATED from the tuner knob. Why? Because on my Sony, both knobs are next to each other and sometimes I'd accidently roll the station knob instead of the volume (irritating). My Sony doesn't have a handle, while the Prunus J-15 DOES. It doesn't fold like some radios, but why does it need to? You want it ready to pick up at all times.
My Sony has NO AC option, either. This one does. Both use 3 D batteries. The Prunus also an an auxillary in along with headphone input. (The Sony only has a headphone input). I'm extremely happy and can confidently recommend this radio.

We purchased this radio as a way to get news and weather in the event of a power outage having just gone through five days of power outage in our neighborhood. The sound is good enough that we often leave it on during the day. We would definitely purchase it again.
