 Don't buy this turkeyJul 15, 2010
Sound is good, features are OK, HD audio is so-so. The killer is the IC2 Float error. I'm unable to play from my portable media player, as just when I go to sleep, the radio will give a load beep, and shut down. At this point, the display will indicate 'IC2 Float'. The radio must be unplugged and plugged back in to clear the fault. Sometimes this causes the presets to be erased. Recently, it is getting worse, affecting the radio too, almost every night. This is a serious design flaw, and Cambridge should be taken to task for producing such garbage. Don't buy it, at any price.
 Works fineMay 09, 2010
Perfect for the kitchen counter. Perfect to listen to the content on the Internet. Works for me.

Looked and sounded ok when it workedMar 06, 2010
I bought this radio a year ago and have had problems with it on and off ever since. The sound quality is ok for the size, but not $300 worth. There are very few knobs so it looks good, but I did not find the controls intuitive and had to refer to the manual every time I needed to do something. Someitmes it finds HD radio stations and sometimes it doesn't. It regularly freezes and the only fix is to unplug it and plug it in again. Which is ok unless you were relying on the alarm clock function to wake you up. I would not recommend it.
 Apparently no longer available from Cambridge Soundworks.Feb 13, 2010
Over the years, I have purchased the Henry Kloss Table Radio Model 88 and the Cambridge Soundworks Radio without CD. Then I saw the HD820 and thought I would get it.
The radio does't sound as good as the other radios I own. It doesn't have the built in sub woofer like the others. So, the bass isn't as strong. This doesn't mean it
doesn't have a good sound. It does sound better than most so called Clock Radios. There are several design problems. No clock back up. If the power goes out, you loose the
time... I called about this and was told that there wasn't enough room in the radio for this feature due to the two tuners...??????????? Well, if they designed the radio, why didn't
they allow enough room for a battery backup for the time. Also, the display is very bright at night and this is annoying to say the least.
It also appears that Cambridge Soundworks is no longer in the business of producing different models of radios. I emailed them and asked them if they were going out of
business, and I got no reply.Go to their website and you may find one or two radios listed. This model is not even listed as available. They also had a small mono radio that at one
time they sold for as little as $40.00 and it is no longer on the site.
The radio is heavy and the build quality seems good. I am disappointed that they no longer seem to offer the products as they once did. Perhaps the economy is to blame. I will keep the
radio and hope that they again build quality radio for us to enjoy...

didn't last - screen problemsAug 03, 2009
I got this radio for the office and was embarrassed at how poor is was. Replacing a very old am-fm radio with this new hd radio was intended to expand the number of channels that were available. However, only a couple of HD stations showed up that we could listen to due to the reception quality. No way to know that until you have an hd radio so this was the first for us. Live & learn. After fooling around with it for 9 months they decided to toss the radio because the screen was only intermittently showing the station information and so programming it and changing the station was a royal pain. In spite of the looks of it its very heavy and large for what it does but i decided to haul it back to my office and fool with it and also couldn't figure it our either. So the $250 waste of money is under a pile of papers under my desk. If you are thinking of HD radio really think about waiting until the technology comes around. If you want to be an early adopter then thing about another brand.
