Home > Consumer Reviews > Panasonic SL-CT490 - CD player

I'm extremely happy with this cd player. My previous player was more than 10 years old and would play for 4 hours on a new set of batteries. Looking at it funny would make it skip. But this one is soooooo much better! I've had it for about a month and a half and it is still running on the first set of batteries. It is also much more durable. I haven't dropped it yet, but I've hit it pretty hard and flipped it upside down, just to see. It just kept on playin'. (This was a test I did for my mother so that she could see how durable it was. Now, I'm back to order a second one for her!) I haven't tested all of the bells and whistles on it, but so far, I have been very pleased.

this player is fantastic,it gives you everything you expected in a player.First of all,the size of this cd player is very small and compact just a little bit bigger than a cd.it is also quite slim(0.9 inch),I could even put it into my pocket.Next this cd player does not skip at alleven if you drop it.when i drop the it on the floor around 4 feet high,it still play without any skipping.The playtime of it is super long,more than 60 hours,that is enough to last me for half a month.overall it is the best player for anyone as the price of it is not too expensive either.

I researched portable CD players and Consumer Reports rates this one tops in their 09/02 ratings. It is hard to know which one to buy so I rely on recommendations.
