No cord, No sound.

(2 out of 5) by P. Hopper on Sep 26, 2007
The product review doesn't mention that my player would come absent a cord to plug it into the wall. A space for a jack exists without precise info as to which jack to buy. Otherwise pre-order batteries, which I did not do.

Great playing and compact CD, Tape, Stereo Unit,Emerson

(5 out of 5) by S. M. G. on Aug 15, 2007
I bought this for my daughter, it plays really good for it's compact size. It sounds really good even with the volume turned up pretty high. The radio reception is good as well and it is easy to find stations your looking for. The tape and CD players are easy to work and work well. It is very light weight and portable with battery back-up. A great value for the price.

Garbage CD Player

(1 out of 5) by Olivia's Mommy on Nov 8, 2007 (Birmingham, Michigan)
I bought this item intentionally as a "cheap" CD player for my daughter's toddler music. Well this is an instance where you truly get what you pay for. I don't recommend this product, unless you are looking for a disposable CD player. After 4 months I finally have to throw it away. I currently have drink coasters holding the lid down. Mind you, the two year old never touches it. All the internal plastic bits are falling off left and right... This really is garbage and I'm alarmed and how poor the quality is. I wasn't expecting trash, but that's what this is. Spend a few more dollars and perhaps you can spare yourself this disaster!

Worked well for me

(3 out of 5) by Dave on Sep 12, 2008 (Portland)
I bought this for my toddler to play music on. One the plus side the sound quality was pretty good for the price. One the negative side the battery life was terrible: 6-12 hours on rechargable C-cells (since it was a toddler toy I didn't wan't to use the AC cord).

I used it for about two months with no problems but later replaced it with a different model with poor sound quality but better battery life. I think someone looking for a bedside CD player would be happy with this.

Great Player

(5 out of 5) by talented79 on Oct 15, 2007 (Dallas,Texas)
It plays really good for it's compact size. It sounds really good even with the volume turned up pretty high. The radio reception is good as well and it is easy to find stations your looking for. Great for a small room or home based office space, that's what I use mines for. Excellent price!
