The problem I have with this player is that when you are playing a tape the machine makes an awful background sound. I was very dissapointed because I wanted to be able to play my tapes at the office. The radio and the CD players sound quality is good.

I wanted a tape and cd player but did not want to spend alot. This was perfect, has a good sound and seems to work well. Great deal for the price.

I bought it due to the low price and the review - seemed to be very durable. However it is broken right after 90 days which is the guarantee period. Apparantly the manufacturer has tested the product well enough to know that it won't last for a year.

I bought this CD player a little less than a year ago for my kids bedroom for their lullaby music at night. Took a chance on a no-name type of brand due to a decent price and okay reviews. Honestly, it amazes me that CD players are still so expensive with Ipods etc being a more prominent method of listening to music now.

The player has been used twice a day for about an hour interval each time, basically the length of one CD. About three months ago the player began to stop in the middle of songs. I'd have to toggle play and pause until I could get the CD rotating and playing again, only for it to then stop later on and usually give an ERR message on the window that would display the track numbers. The problem has persisted and worsened...I can't get it to play at all now.

I only ever used the CD player on it and for the first half of the year it served it's purpose. The sound was okay, sufficient for a kids bedroom I would say. As for it's long term durability, it's a big NO. I wouldn't waste your money on it...you'll be disappointed. I'm glad I only wasted about thirty bucks. It would seem based on some other reviews that a majority of people had similar problems with it.

Don't buy this product, especially if you are thinking you would be doing something nice for a young person. This is the kind of thing that breaks the day you give it. It is utter trash. I got exactly two plays of a cd before the CD player stopped working. The sound quality isn't bad but the radio signals come in very weakly, both AM and FM, so there isn't much of an opportunity to judge the sound any way. The worst thing is that it was too cheap to bother with the postage to return it.I'm stuck with half a product.
