Default Shortwave radio

Hi, I am new to shortwave radios and I found this one from amazon. Does anyone know if it's any good?

With any shortwave unit, you'll want to invest in an external antenna, as I find that the ferrite bar antenna's that are mounted internally are full of fail. Also, some shortwave units that are commercially available suffer from being poorly made. Be sure you get a quality product.
