I was looking for a CD player for my office, and this one caught my eye primarily because it's attractive -- I like the curved design and the color scheme. It also works great. The sound is clear, and I've never had any problem with the CD or tape decks, or encountered any problem taping things from CDs. Even after four years of abuse! I occasionally have problems picking up radio stations, but I attribute this largely to the fact that my office is in a deep, dank basement where signals may be faint at best. The thing I love most about this box is that it's very compact, but the sound quality is great whether I'm playing Nine Inch Nails or Boccherini's cello concertos. I also love the fact that the small size makes it convenient to take along to the classroom, should I decide to use music in my lectures. If you're looking for something fancy, you might want to try another unit. If you're looking for a compact, attractive unit for simply playing CDs or tapes, then this is a great choice.

I have an older model of this player. I've had it for two years and it's still working quite well. It's very small/portable, attractive, and durable (it's been dropped a couple of times and still plays with no problems). Sound is great for the small size.

This CD boombox is just the right size to go anywhere. Great for the beach or camping. The metallic green color looks good too. The buttons are large and easy to use. The only drawback is the tuner is not digital. Other than that I think this is a great value for a small boombox.

This is a great gift idea! I bought it for my 13 year old daughter for her birthday this summer and she loves it! She can take it anywhere and it sounds great too. I shopped around and this was the best looking boombox I found!
