Worked for 4 days

(1 out of 5) by planet_violet on Sep 5, 2005 (USA)
My experience with this boombox was horrible. I bought it, it worked fine for the first 4 days, then the cd player got messed up. It wouldn't load my cds, instead, the cds would spin out of control in the player. This boombox is not recommended.

it hums!

(2 out of 5) by Gretchin Lair on Oct 5, 2005 (portland, or)
Alas, it makes a very noticeable hum even when it's OFF! I have to unplug it if I want the noise to stop. Very disappointing.

But if size matters to you, it's worth mentioning that it's surprisingly small, especially in comparison to other portable stereos. It is easy to carry and fits anywhere.

(edit dec08.2006: and now it's incredibly fickle, frequently interrupting a cd with "ERR" or not even playing it at all. i want to replace it, but where are all the red cd players?)

This stopped working after about a week.

(1 out of 5) by J. Black on Nov 21, 2006
When I was christmas shopping, I thought this looked really cute, and I figured, "Hey, it's cheap, and looks good." So I bought it. It worked pretty well for the first couple of days, and then the CD playing system on it just decided to stop working. I checked all things that I might have possibly done wrong, but I didn't find any. When you try to load the CD, it doesn't let you play anything. I would not recomend this product for whoever wants to buy it, because it did not work like I wanted it to, and it made a pretty lousy Christmas present after I found out it had broken. DON'T BUY THIS.

gee try to get an answer

(1 out of 5) by Robert N. Newman on Aug 27, 2005
Let's see - no manual, no warranty card, no electric cord, nowhere to order one from Amazon. Like buying lots of batteries.

You get what you pay for

Doesn't Even deserve One Star

(1 out of 5) by M. M. Steil on Sep 4, 2006 (Los Angeles)
Got it in December; CD player stopped working in April and now the radio reception is so bad I'm tossing it. Can't provide paperwork for refund as it was a gift.
