Product ReviewsSony ICF-36 Portable Weather Radio - Black

Great purchase

My purchase of the Sony AM/FM radio from Tampamark was a positive experience. The radio was presented well on eBay, with sufficient description and pictures to provide assurance that I know what I'm getting. The price was right. The delivery was quick. The product arrived with good packaging and was in good and working condition. This particular Sony radio is an older model and is no longer made. The adage that "they don't make them like they used to" applies to this radio because it is of sturdy construction and works great, both on batteries and on wall power. This one arrived in its original box and included the instruction manual, so it was like buying it new.Read full review...

Excellent radio for electrical shutdowns!

I wanted a simple to use radio to use during blackouts. This one is perfect. Plus it looked brand new when I received it.

Excellent compact radio with sensitive tuner.& good sound.

Radio has an excellent tuner, with good reception even though I live a good 50 ,miles from the closest FM broadcasting tower. Furthermore, it doesn't tend to drift off station once set, and a signal strength LED is useful in tuning. The sound is also quite good for such a compact radio --- All in all one of the better products from Sony (or any other manufacturer).Read full review...

Functional

This is an older radio bought used. I work in an old building with terrible reception due to old construction. So far this radio has only picked up one station. Now, that's actually a good thing! To date I have not been able to find a radio that picks up any...ANY stations. The one decent local station is good enough for the office. I have not tested it outside the office but I assume it will perform beyond my expections. The tuning dial is smooth and accurate. The option to use batteries or plug is is great.

Sony ICF-36 Weather Band radio

The Sony ICF-36 Weather AM FM radio is an old-fashioned styled radio with analog controls that performs admirably. It uses 4 AA batteries for power that last a very long time and even the weather band receives several weather stations if you are within range. It has a built in AC cord and folding handle for added convenience and has worked well since I purchased this radio over five years ago.Read full review...

Going back to Basics

Love these basic radios, simple, reliable and easy to operate. Old stuff still better than what's made today.

An Excellent Out-of-Production Radio That's New

I received the Sony !CF-36 4-Band Radio on schedule and in excellent physical and operating condition in its original box. This radio will serve for weather and power-outage emergencies. It's difficult to find a battery-operated radio with full tonal quality and 4-bands. I am very pleased with this purchase and with the seller. Thank you.Read full review...

Great deal if you like A.M.

Gets great reception both A/M - F/M and good sound. Battery life is good. All around out preforms most.
My mom had one for about ten years. She used it every day for 2-3 hours in the morning. She dropped it the other day and it broke. She insisted I find another. I bout this one and it works as good if not better than her old one. LOLRead full review...
