5 stars for the radio receiver quality! It is very selective and sensitive on both FM and AM. Sound quality is really good. It sounds smooth, just like the old radios did, but even better. Plus there's an external antenna jack for FM and one for AM as well. Wow. And speaking of versatility, on the back there's an aux in, record line out, and (mono) headphone out jack. And to top it off, there's even a 12V DC input jack to run it off 12v (no cable with it, but that's ok). This is in addition to the 120VAC power cord, so yes it's dual powered. (would be good in an RV)
To my surprise the AM radio works too! Normally radios I test are all static across the AM band, but this one does pull in some stations with surprising clarity. Bravo Sangean!
I think this is a great table radio for those who are ok with mono, want simple operation, classic look, good sound, but with modern features (bluetooth and aux inputs). Bluetooth audio is loud.
Do keep in mind that this product is all mono, including the headphone out jack. But for a simple classic operation, this thing sounds as beautiful as it looks.
Hadn't had a Sangean radio or seen one up close so wasn't prepared for what a quality object it is, in looks, operation, and feel. I knew the Sangean brand as a top HDR / short wave / FM brand so I wasn't too surprised how smoothly the knobs work, how easy and simple the operation is, and generally how well it works as a radio. But the quality of the wood cabinet is better than expected, flawless in each of the three Sangean samples I now have. Watch the little Sangean video included in the Amazon listing that shows them making the veneered wood cabinet; it's no wonder Sangean features that little film of their workmanship because it doesn't disappoint in person.
Read in reviews here the sound is bassy, and it's somewhat true but at least it's not tinny or boxy. I did some A-B-A testing when it arrived, against similar sized radios and found it to be the best of what I could find, a warm good sound for news/voice and sounds good for classical orchestral music too.
I bought 2 models WR-16 and WR-16SE, for my living room and dining room.
Then I connected by old Chromecast Audio to the aux port for multiroom WiFi music streaming.

The Sangean tuner is far and away the best I've used. Over the course of adult life I've used handheld digital radios, vintage stereo receivers, old tabletop radios from thrift stores, and the famed Tivoli Model 1. The Sangean cabinet radio blows them all out of the water. On top of this, the cabinet provides stellar sound.
A good, workhorse radio.
*A lot of folks have talked about how the AM reception is bad. While it isn't as clear as the FM, I have no problem tuning into the AM radio stations in my area. I listen to a lot of sports radio during work and have had no issues.
**The Bluetooth function is really useful when you do want to put on a specific album or playlist from a streaming service. Easy to pair, good connection, great sound.
