Good value for the money

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 14, 1999
This is by no means a high quality stereo. For alow volume, background music type situation it's great. I use it in the OR where it does a great job. Also it's very small an light which is another good feature. One major problem is that it doesn't have a track counter...but for this price, who cares?

Extreme disappointment with poor fidelity and features

(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 5, 1999
Unlike the first two customer reviews upon which I relied, I found this product to have such extemely poor fidelity that my $12.95 clock radio from the drugstore sounded good. If you want to play loud rock and roll over the sounds of kitchen appliances or home tools, this may be for you. It has so many poor features -- such as a CD player that has not automatic cutoff after a disc has played -- that I could not recommend it at all. I am surprised that such a poor quality product is even offered by Amazon.com and I promptly returned it.

Look closely

I ordered this radio for meetings and when I finally got it Iwas very dissapointed. They did miss one thing the Radio does not have atrack counter so you don't know what track your playing. Not Cool.

Not for people with a good ear and not to really enjoy music

(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 14, 1999 (Seattle, USA)
This player has very poor sound quality for audio and radio play. CDs are Ok to listen to, mainly because CDs themselves have better sound quality. The stereo sound is very bad and CD programming is not very helpful too. For people with good ear and sensitive to the external noises, it is not a good item to buy. However, for people who just need to listen to some quick news on the radio, it is OK to have it in the kitchen....

Good radio for the money. We use it in our son's bedroom.

(3 out of 5) by canaduck on Aug 11, 2000 (The Great White North)
Don't expect to use this as a soundsystem for a party. The sound is lousy at higher volumes.

Overall quality is good. The CD player works very well and the tape player is fine too. Radio reception is very good. I can pick up some distant stations. The antennae isn't the greatest. The handle gets in the way of the antennae. We haven't had a single problem with it and we've used it daily for almost a year.

But it is a good deal for the money. I would buy one again.

We use is mostly in our 3 year old son's room to play some quiet bedtime music.
