I've got one of those radios. I bought it a couple of years ago as a 'bed' radio (yes, actually in bed with me so the cat can't fiddle with it) for snoozing to listening to 'Today' on the BBC as I drift in & out of sleep before getting up.
FM is surprisingly good. MW is OK but the IF filter has poor stopband and our local GOLD is audible for quite some distance on each side! SW works, but with conditions being so poor recently it isn't much use. Good value though.
