Review: Easy set up . Good sound. Happy with the internet radio. Still learning the functions Review: I have owned Grace Internet radios for years (there isn't much competition in this market I guess). I just set it up this morning, and as per typical Grace radio fashion, set up is a piece of cake - very, very easy and straightforward. Make sure to have your wifi modem's password handy, as you need to enter it during set up (this part is the most involved step, and this only takes 1 minute at the most - very simple). Grace does have some nice touches that their limited competition does not feature, such as a USB port for flash drives and external hard drives (it doesn't work if you try to use more a 5 TB external drive), and RCA stereo lines both in and out. This is really nice for integrating into a classic stereo receiver's AUX inputs/outputs, though it works fine as a stand-alone unit - the built-in speaker (while not in stereo) is rich in depth and full of bass. The included remote control is also a nice little bonus. Also, they have removed the "rabbit-ears" style wifi antennas and replaced them with a more powerful internal one that seems to work much better (considering my radio is almost 50 feet from the modem, and is separated by two interior walls). For those who cannot live without their i-phone/android, it has an induction charging pad on top of the radio. I do not know how that works, as I have an old-school flip phone. My internet usage is strictly via this unit, my Roku TV and my laptop. The only time I use my phone is to make or receive phone calls - nothing more, nothing less. The radio is very well built - very substantial (it takes 2 hands to lift and move it safely; it's rather heavy, several pounds, which is not a bad thing, I'm just mentioning it in passing). Another kind of positive thing is that the cost of these big units seems to have gone down. When I bought my previous Mondo Elite Classic, I paid around $299 for it. This once (of course I bought it on sale) was $199; a significant difference in price I would say. Good value for the money. My only gripe that I have had in the past with Grace products is that there products seem to have a planned obsolescence, especially after a couple of years of firmware updates. There have been some snags with some of the updates in the past. I do not know if they have improved their software updates or not, but if you want a table-top internet radio receiver, then it's a possibly you may just have to live with. I love the whole concept behind Internet radio. As a fan of world music - Asian, Middle Eastern (especially the music of India) and Mexican/South American music, as well as news and talk from other exotic places that I will probably never get to visit in person, it just such a cool thing. I live in Missouri, and I love to listen to English Premier League soccer radio. And once you own the receiver, and keep up the payments on your internet service, most all of this really cool stuff is free!! Now, if you want to use any of the premium services (SiriusXM, Spotify, Pandora, etc.), then of course you have to pay for those. If you can afford the price of the receiver, and your curiosity is aroused, then give it a try. It is an amazing world of listening - it is waiting for you to listen, all you have to do is tune in! ## Features - What's in the box: 1x Mondo Elite Classic, User Manual, 1x Remote Control, 1x Power Adapter, 2x External Antennas; Optional USB to Ethernet dongle for wired RJ45 ethernet connection (sold separately) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08CD5WX3W | | Additional Features | Network Ready | | Antenna Location | Music, News, Sports Broadcast | | Best Sellers Rank | #81,991 in Mobile Phones & Communication Products ( See Top 100 in Mobile Phones & Communication Products ) #1,439 in Mobile Phone Induction Chargers | | Brand | Grace Digital | | Built-In Media | Qi-Wireless Fast Charger, 7-Day Alarm | | Color | Brown | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop, Headphone, Speaker, Earphone | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (278) | | Display Technology | LCD | | Display Type | LCD or LED | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Frequency | 1200 MHz | | Hardware Interface | 802.11 ac/b/g/n, Bluetooth, Headphone, USB 2.0 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 27.9L x 17.8W x 15.2H centimeters | | Item Weight | 5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Grace Digital | | Mfr Part Number | GDI-WHA8005 | | Model Number | GDI-WHA8005 | | Number of Batteries | 2 AAA batteries required.

We have been in transition writing code this last year to a new radio platform. The encore plus sales were so small we discontinued it ( it was my favorite but was not popular with customers). The black classic was also a very small seller. We will be back in stock of the black mondo elite (not classic) in about 2 weeks and the new Grace link ( no speaker) will be back in stock mid next week. We will probably have the classic in black ash in about 4-5 months. The mondo elite in red is also currently in stock. **Q: What is the part number for the grace usb to ethernet dongle? (the only grace-branded adapter i find on amazon suggests it will be incompatible.)** A: This is the correct adapter for the Mondo +, Mondo Elite / Mondo Elite Classic. It is NOT compatable with the original Mondo radio and pre 2017 radios. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Q3STFY?ref=myi_title_dp **Q: Are there only 10 presets? Is there a way to add more stations in the memory?** A: There are multiple options: 1) 10 presets 2) 50 stations in your my history folder 3) register the radio to the Grace web site where you can manage the stations that are in your 'my stuff' folder. You can create sub folders and store an unlimited number of stations. This is performed on the web site, note the radio, but the web site will then push the stations and folders to the radio. You cannot add stations into the my stuff folder directly from the radio. **Q: can external speakers be connected to it?** A: No, but you can buy other radios and put them in the same room or anyplace in your home and synchronize the audio (or play separate music). You can create zones of radios as well as pair them with any other brands chromecast enabled speakers and control it via a google home as an option. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***C on 15 April 2026* Easy set up .

This one has much to recommend it over the predecessors. 1. It is heaver. This is important for me as the radio is on my bedside table. With all the previous radios if I would lean over from the bed to press a preset or the power button, often the whole radio would slide on the table and make it necessary I use a hand to hold the radio steady. This may seem to be a minor point but it is important on the basis of daily use and convenience. 2. It is more attractive with the wood appearance instead of plastic. Also the buttons are now easier to read because of the contrast of black on light tan instead of the prior gray on black. These improvements make the radio much more functional and easy to use. 3. The Mondo Elite models now integrate Pandora, as the earliest models did. The previous model, the Mondo+, allows casting Pandora to the radio from a smartphone or other source but the absence of an integrated Pandora is not user-friendly. Grace indicated it was a major effort to add Pandora to the Mondo Elite due to complex coding. I asked tech support if they were going to add Pandora to the Mondo+ models but they did not reply to this question. 4. The sound quality is rich but has too much bass for my 69-year-old ears. I adjusted the sound with the equalizer which helped some. Still I prefer the sound of the plastic models. Again, this is probably due to hearing loss or changes that occur when one ages. 5. The interface is very much like previous Grace radios, especially the Mondo+. Grace has added functionality in many small ways. I especially like how easy it is now to quickly adjust the sleep time with the large button on top. 6. The wireless charger is a bonus. It was not a determining factor in my decision to purchase the radio but since it is present I do use it. 7. I like the opportunity to set separate alarms for each day of the week, plus weekend and weekdays. Previously one could just set them for weekends and weekdays. One option that I use is to set overlapping alarms. If I want to get up at 7:00am to my local NPR station, say, I set an alarm for 6:50 for a new age channel at soft volume. I also set an alarm at 7:00 at normal volume. Then I awake gently. All in all, this is the best Grace radio I have owned. ## Frequently Bought Together - Grace Digital Mondo Elite Classic Smart Internet Radio Bluetooth Wi-Fi Qi-Wireless Fast Charger 7-Day Alarm – Microphone-Free (Walnut) - Grace Digital ACC-ETHRNT8512 USB to Ethernet RJ45 Adapter Audio Cable - Grace Digital Acc-IRCLI Rechargeable Battery Pack for Mondo+ and Mondo Elite, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/682094248-mondo-elite-classic-smart-internet-radio-bluetooth-wi-fi-qi](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/682094248-mondo-elite-classic-smart-internet-radio-bluetooth-wi-fi-qi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
