Pick one up and feel the quality.


Quality in this case may be a rather fleeting thing. The Satellite 800
was pretty bad when the original batch came out too. The Grundig name,
in my opinion, has been degraded badly since they started this wheeling
and dealing with the communist Chinese. The quality, or lack of it,
certainly starts to show when all you use are the lowest cost bidders to
make your merchandise for you.

I'm assuming Grundig was sold to it's new present owners in the last few
years. Then the decline started. In an attempt to fatten the bottom line
in the quickest possible time, they started cutting corners very
severely. It may be coming back to bite them on the ass. Twice!
