The Philips Magnavox AZ1010 is a great little radio. It is gray and black and is pretty modern looking. Not at all like our parent’s radios used to look.
It has many different features such as a CD player, am/fm radio, cassette deck, dynamic bass boost, and the option to record from CD to tape.
The CD player is on top of the radio and the lid opens up about 4 inches. So it would not be wise to place this on a shelf with another shelf over it. Unless you do not want to use the CD player.
You have the option of using this radio as a portable radio. There is a space to store the wire and the plug, all you would need know is to install 6 D batteries and your radio is now portable.
I have found the sound on this radio using the CD player, the tapes, or the radio to be pretty good. There is not much static and it’s clear. Very few times I have encountered static while using the radio, but I get that with any radio I use.
Overall I think this is a great radio to bring with you whether you are going on an outting or just hanging out in your house. It’s a great starter radio for kids who decide they now want a stereo or something. We picked this radio up for my 6 year old because he said he needed one. He has not complained about it yet.
The only thing I cannot tell you is how much this radio costs. We had purchased ours for $15.00 from a pawn shop. My guess is that they sell for about $60.00 or so.
