Stopped Playing After First Use!
(1 out of 5) by k9mom on Sep 18, 2007I bought this nice, compact CD player for listening to audiobooks. It was perfect for carrying around as I moved from room to room or outside... Until it stopped playing CDs after the first one! I reloaded the initial disc, changed batteries, had my engineer husband try to make it work, and finally returned the thing to the store. I've since found the Jensen cd-470 for about the same cost. It's worked beautifully for 3 months. Wish I could say the same about this item.

Good for the money
(4 out of 5) by Just Me on Jun 15, 2007We use this unit for the CD player only. Haven't had any problems in 6 months. We haven't quite figured out how to "loop" the playing yet, if that is possible. A little bit heavy but good sound. Would recommend since there aren't too many units like this that do not require headsets for portable listening.

Don't be fooled. HORRIBLE quality over time
(1 out of 5) by BigJeff on Mar 30, 2008 (Denver, CO)OK, I confess. We were burned the first time and we bought another one.
Why? Because it matched the decor of the bathroom we use it in (bathtime for kids).
The first one completely died after very little use. The second one is also barely used and we have to hit the CD buttons over and over to get them work.
The sound is fine, the size is great and the radio works ok for what it is...but the CD player is tempermental and we're just waiting for it to completely die again. It's already showing signs.
BTW, we bought it both times at Kmart for about five bucks less both times.

You get what you pay for...
(1 out of 5) by dm on Nov 11, 2005 (rochester, ny)Ever hear that expression? Ever wonder why you pay no attention to it when you're shopping?
This unit is a piece of crap. First the volume dial broke, so I manually took it apart and glued it back on...otherwise the unit would be impossible to use. Now the antenna has broken.
Pony up a few more bucks and get a good name brand...trust me.
