I've had my 100PE for around 8 months, and have been pleased (and I
paid thirty bucks for it at a local Radio Shack). SW reception is
ruprisingly good, and the little thing is fairly well put-together.
I've listened to it on a daily basis since its purchase, and the
battery life is good, too.

The same could not be said for a Kaito WRX911 I bought for about the
same price. I've seen a number of favorable posts and reviews on it
here, but my sample wasn't impressive at all. Reception was noisy and
not at all sensitive, and its build quality was somewhat poor.
Disappointing, especially considering it's from the same OEM
manufacturer as the Grundig.

The Mini 100 is the best of the cheapies I've used so far.

I've owned a 100PE for almost one year. It's a nice little pocket
radio and
adequately sensitive. Very long Battery life also. I purchased mine
online . . .
