Pagaria Retro FM/AM/SW Portable Radio with Bluetooth & USB (Wood Finish)

Great Retro looks,perfect size.comes with handle,so highly portable.The radio came with Power Adapter,USB charging cable & User manual.The manual mentions to charge the radio inially for 4-5 hours,which means it comes with built in rechargable battery.also there is additional battery slot provided, but does come with additional battery.i was eager to start the radio and use the front glass (plastic ) tuner ,to get the feel of old retro type manual tuning radio.the volume button on the side ,is also the on-off switch for the radio. I like the idea of radio with volume knob instead of buttons,this was also the reason I opted for it.so I hooked on to FM radio, and I was able to tune smoothly with the manual tuning provided.just love the dial tuning.i could get almost all channels to tune with high clarity.also since it comes with aerial antenna.tried blue tooth and was able to connect on a Go.sound is great at mid range. My takeways.. 1. DC powered : that's great, as there is no transformer inside and no over heating and damage to the PCB. 2. Rechargable: oh yes , this worked for easy 4 Hours on first charge for radio.for USB playback worked for 2 hours on full charge. 3. Portable: Being rechargable is too helpful and can be used in anywhere, even out doors . 4. Manual Tuning: Give me precision in tuning my favourite channels. 5. Retro design : the design stands out and can be an like an artifact at your home 6. Small in size , high on sound: the sound given its size is superb, beyond my expectations . 7. Best gifting product: I loved it so much, that it will now become best gift solutions for all occasions. 8. Warranty: 1 year This is the best radio at this price , have tested many, but this is simply flawless!!

The radio functioned as claimed by the seller, received it in sturdy packing with a charger, instructions leaflet and a warranty card. Looks are very appealing with wood finish, complimented with powerful sound and good FM reception, however MW and SW reception is lacking, but it depends on the location of the radio and time of the day, besides mobile towers in the vicinity. Controls are smooth and easy on fingers, blue tooth and usb pendrive connectivity is excellent, on full charge the radio runs uninterrupted for 4 hours,Pricewise it is a good value for money. Happy with the product 👍

Worst radio I have ever used - 1 Star, Wouldnt' suggest any one to buy this product !!! Whenever I look for a radio, for me radio means "Philips". Initially as usual I wanted to go for Philips but this time I wanted to give a try with Pagaria. This product is priced more than Philips but it does serve its purpose. This looks tiny :) but it has lot of functionalities embedded. I am extremely satisfied with the performance of this product as this is not just radio. This product comes with TF card reader, bluetooth connection using which you can play music from your laptop or mobile. The sound also is good. It comes with a rechargeable battery which is a very option that has been provided and also it comes with an option to where you can use extra batteries for your convenience like other radios which are not provided with the box. If you are looking for a good radio with lot of features, just go for it with no second thought !!! Adding few more points after using for few months. Main cons that I noticed with this product is while charging the red light wouldn't turn green even after charging for 10 hours or more. There is no notification that the product is completely charged. As well the button provided which is used to change the radio stations is very fragile. Because of these two issues, I reduced my rating from 4 to 3 star. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& ********** Updating My Review ********** Reducing my rating to 1star. Radio stopped playing withi no time. It gets switched on but fails to receive any communcation from any band. Please disregard my previous review as it hardly worked for couple of months. PLEASE DONOT BUY THIS PRODUCT AS IT'S JUST WASTE OF MONEY !!!!!!! HAPPY BUYING !!!

ITs fully functional working as intended. Sound Quality reasonable. Radio quality reasonable. Look and Feel very Good. Poor battery life - Better working on power. Overall good looking reasonable product. However, much better alternatives at similar price point available.

Nice Retro looks, works well with good reception and sound. I gifted it to my parents and in laws and it has been 3 months till September 2025 and it is working well till now. I will update this review if any issue comes. Recommended.

First things first, the product as such is good. We were looking for a portable radio for our home which was loud enough. We specifically were looking for one that had a tuning dial. Most of the bluetooth speakers claim that they have radio functionality but lack a tuning dial making them nearly useless because you can’t really say what station you are listening to. The pagaria retro radio fixes that issue by having a lovely tuning dial. The sound is not refined. The speaker sounds generic but loud. Lacks distinctive notes. This is not an audiophiles speaker. Fit and finish : Speaker looks really cool. Wish they had it in more colors. The buttons feel sturdy for the most part. The plastic however feels a touch cheap. Considering the price point, that’s forgivable. The other down side is that it uses a circular DC pin for charging. Like who uses that anymore? For the next iteration I really wish they upgrade to a micro usb charger or a Type C charger. Whom is this speaker for? For people who want a good looking portable radio. It fits that bill really well.

One of the best choices i made. This was a gift to my dad. Chose pagaria after an extensive research. Saw many negative reviews but i dont find anything wrong with the radio.. It has fm/am/sw bands with usb, memory card and Bluetooth option. Actually Bluetooth was added to this recently i guess there is no dedicated button to turn Bluetooth on, instead we just need to push a bit up from the USB option. Speakers are very loud and clear even at the maximum volume without any distortion. AM band is same as MW so don't get confused. If you have enough signal range in your place, then go for it without a second thought. Look wise and quality wise, i would rate 5 stars. All functions are working perfectly.
