Pros: amazing sound, compact size, different color choices available, easy to program, alarm function, remote from Shopping.com After many weeks of research I decided to buy the Eton Sound 100. Especially when the blue model came available at a big discount. from Amazon.com As noted by so many reviewers, the bright lcd display lights up a dark room so much that it's difficult to sleep. However, I purchased this for it's radio/aux functions, for which it is very satisfactory. Radio reception here in Manhattan is excellent on both am/fm. But using this as a speaker for an mp3 player is its real strong point. from Amazon.com The design is decent although the display is barely readable. Reception is satisfying. The deal breaker is the dull sound which cannot be adjusted. How dumb to save a couple of bugs, Eton! from Amazon.com The Eton Sound 100 compares favorably with the higher priced small monaural FM radios available today. Its small footprint made it especially useful in my kitchen -- with its included remote I could put on top of a cabinet and save counter space. from Amazon.com Bought this radio back in April and placed it in the kitchen. We run it for hours at a time and it sounds just fine we like it. Remote is nice to have also. from Amazon.com I won't bore you with the details, there are plenty other reviews you can read for that. What this radio offers is solid sound and decent reception. I use it at work so none of the clock or alarm features are of interest to me. from Amazon.com I purchased this item on a whim as I needed a radio in the bathroom. The sound quality is great if you love a lot of bass. Sometimes with the exhaust fan on (or other noise in the room)the bass is all you hear so keep that in mind. from Amazon.com The audio quality and reception are very good, and are certainly a big improvement over the standard clock radio that it replaced for me, but the blue beacon light coming from the display is TRULY ANNOYING, and I'm not sure I would have bought it if I had realized how aweful the light would be in the nighttime bedroom. I have to cover it with an envelope to survive it. Eton SHOULD do something about the display. Ideal would be control of light intensity, as well as what information is shown (currently, the station frequency shows in big characters when the radio is turned on, but the time is so small that it can't be read if you are several feet away). from Amazon.com The Eaton sound 100 is a small radio with a big clean/clear sound.....it will not rattle your windows but it does have an impressive punch.....this little radio is suitably sized for a small nightstand by the bed, & provides outstanding presence as it's style says "i may be small but i am stunning & sophisticated"....well, stunning is something of a stretch.....but not much.....performance of course is dictated by the strength of the signal a station is sending & Eaton's ability to recieve it....so it is fortunate that the radio's receptive powers seem very good....the radio is easy to use as controls are simple & straight forward....the remote performs well & should wear well as it sports a "membrane" covering that protects the buttons & allows an easy clean up should it get pizza sauce/soda ect on it....as far as the clock/alarm funtions go, i have yet to explore their functionality....& as far as that goes more than likely i wont for awhile as i bought it for the radio, it's looks & quality....not because i need an alarm clock....overal i am quite satisfied with this purchase...two thumbs up for Eaton. from Amazon.com
