I have owned the other Sony under-cabinet radio that Crutchfield offers and I like this one more. The buttons, which wore out on the other one, feel much more substantial and it sounds better since its stereo. This radio sounds good enough for me, but I didn't expect Hi-Fi sound in the kitchen. The remote is nice as it has a magnet in it so you can put it on the fridge and isn't too small so you lose it. If you want a solid, well-performing under-cabinet radio at a decent price, this is the one for you.

Good CD player, so-so radio

The reviews I read on this product were mixed, but I thought I'd try it. My experience is pretty much what the reviews on other sites say: the CD player is great, the sound is good, for "background" kitchen music (not for DJ-ing parties!). The manual says the antennae for the radio is in the power cord, so to keep slack out of the power cord by winding it around the cord holder at the back. I did that, but with a 5-inch cord holder, it's hard to get it perfect. There's still some slack and the radio reception is a little fuzzy. Our local station's signal is pretty strong and it's still not totally clear. Since I didn't buy it for the radio, it doesn't bother me, but it's definitely one of the complaints I've read in other reviews.
