inexpensive, but you get what you pay for
(2 out of 5) by N. A. Murphy on Jun 22, 2005 (Madison, WI USA)I ended up having a lot of trouble with skipping when using this boombox, especially when using burnt CDs. It also lacks a lot of features such as bass boost or a programmable play sequence. The sound is mediocre, but adequate. I'd recommend spending an extra $10-$20 and getting a better model.

where is the power cord?
(1 out of 5) by Laurel Harrington on Dec 30, 2005 (Illinois)This thing is sold without a power cord. The fine folks at Coby told me it was only for battery operation. It takes 8 C batteries! I had to pay an additional $9.99 to get a power cord from Coby.

You get what you pay for!
(1 out of 5) by B. Clawson on Jan 29, 2006We purchased this product specifically for the repeat function. We play CDs at night for our children. We purchased one, and the repeat function stopped working within the first 30 days. We exchanged it for another, and after two months, the repeat function no longer works. It also will not play the CDs any longer. We are so unhappy with our purchase - don't waste your money!

Easy to use
(4 out of 5) by E. Davis on Aug 18, 2005 (LA, CA)I bought this as a gift for my 81 year old mother who lives 1200 miles away. I needed something that she could unpack, understand the directions, and operate herself. She did all of these things and is very happy with this "Boom Box".

Does not last...
(1 out of 5) by Jake Burdeaux on Mar 3, 2006 (Emerald City, WA)CD player stopped working after two months of ownership, it was playing a cd and puff, that was her last one. Also, very troubling for me: I left the powercord at my sister's house and could not find a replacement at any of the usual shops; it takes a special fitted powercord. The radio receiver is also weak, it changes depending on where I sit or walk in the room.
