Terrible reception: Don't buy this is you plan to listen to the radio
(2 out of 5) by D. Autor on Sep 8, 2009 (Cambridge, MA USA)This radio is barely able to tune a station, despite many strong signals in the area. Worse, the one or two stations it can tune appear all over the dial. It's completely worthless as a radio. It also has no auxiliary inputs, so forget about connecting your iPod. Turns out, you can spend too little on a radio.

High price for what you get.
(2 out of 5) by Fred Boston on Jul 10, 2009 (Malden, MA United States)We purchased this last year for our outside deck, The reception is weak at best for both AM and FM. We live in Boston with many great radio stations that have strong reception but this radio can't pull them in. If you don't mind retuning every 5 minutes buy it. If not get something else, I believe this price reflects the name but in this case not the quality.

Garbage
(1 out of 5) by Jami Reed on Apr 30, 2009 (IN USA)Do not waste your money on this. Within only 3 days the cd player no longer worked. After 5 days the speakers were shot. I bought it for the portable vertical cd player since space is an issue.(I listen to books on cd and cannot wear a portable device where I work) and there weren't many choices available so I went for the 'name brand' I got screwed. A total waste of money and time.

disappointed
(1 out of 5) by Lona Gail Shields on Jul 17, 2008This model only played one and a half CD's of my audio book before it went bad. The drive mechanism stopped, followed with erractic spins of a few seconds at a time or no movement at all. The radio still worked, so I don't believe there was a power problem. I gave up struggling with it and threw it away.
