GREAT little player
(4 out of 5) by Susan E. Frikken on Jun 22, 2007I give it 4 stars because i've only had it a month.
I use this in a very portable way, to play music as i travel to provide chair massage.
The player is lightweight and very slim in profile, making it very portable.
The sound is really great, especially from just one speaker.
The components and all the buttons and doors are solid and seem very well-made.
The radio transmission is great, especially in my house (and basement especially which has transmission issues).
A great player, and economical. If it lasts, it will be an awesome find!

Worked Great -- For 3 months.
(1 out of 5) by Tracy on May 6, 2008 (Boston, MA USA)The CD player worked great for about 3 months, then it just stopped working. I bought it because it seemed like a good price and the right size. Save your money and put it towards buying a higher quality, more expensive CD player.

Pleased in Maryland!
(5 out of 5) by C. krenkel on Oct 21, 2008 (Dunkirk, Md. USA)I purchased this Emerson CD player 3 years ago and it is still going strong. I play it quite a lot. It has a nice sound and the "Skip" feature that allows you to skip the songs you don't want to hear is nice. I would buy it again if something went wrong with this one.

Sturdy but bad sound quality
(2 out of 5) by Dave on Sep 12, 2008 (Portland)I bought this to play music in my toddler's room. The sound quality is pretty bad, however it survived all kinds of abuse from my son playing with it, so I'll have to give it marks for that. No adult with normal hearing would want to use this to play music. It would be fine for something like talk radio.

Great Portability Without the Bulk
(5 out of 5) by Mike Jackson on Jul 5, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA United States) If, as I do, you like to do house and yard work to the accompaniment of recorded books, you will find this unit provides good sound and easy portablity. Unlike bulky boom boxes, its sleek and ergonomic shape makes the Emerson PD5098 an attractive and inexpensive buy, fitting easily into tight spaces around the house. A minor related drawback is that its small footprint also makes it easy to accidentally knock over. I liked the unit so well that in case Emerson decides to stop making this model, I bought an extra just to stockpile for the future.
Be aware that starting the CD is a two step operation. The player will cue up, counting the number of tracks and so on. After that's done, the CD will stop spinning. Then you push the play button and begin listening. Highly recommended.
