Awesome sound, cool lighting. Like the docking feature, able to control the iPod with a remote. But I only paid $14 for it at Toys r Us, yes, fourteen dollars

I saw the mixed reviews here, so I wanted to add my '5 cents' as well.
First of all : For the same amount of money, you can probably find a better sounding iPod dock, but you won't find a better looking one.

The sound is really not bad at all, I have definitely heard worse. After reading some of the reviews here, I expected a thin, bass-less sound, but that is definitely not the case. The built in speakers sound very good, and the volume can be cranked up high, without any distortion.

Also, there are hookups for external speakers (not included) which is very nice.

There is a 'line in' to hook up external devices (i.e. non-iPods).

The design is very nice. I own an original Wurlitzer 1015 and the details on this replica are actually quite accurate. Also, it was a great idea, to have a 'remote control' holder in the back of the unit.

I agree, that the actual iPod dock in front of the unit is a bit 'fragile', so you definitely need to be careful, when docking and un-docking your iPod.

Also, the unit works with the iPhone as well, but keep in mind, that this iJukebox was not made for it (i.e. if you do not activate the 'Airplane Mode' on your iPhone, there will be the occasional interfearance, when the phone accesses your Network). However, the iJukebox charges the iPhone and plays the music (this includes streaming Audio) with no problem. Even the remote control works with the iPhone.

So overall, I think this is a great iPod dock.... a bit pricy, but you definitely get something, that is nicer to look at, compared to most other iPod docks.

I love this jukebox. Well worth the price. It's got surprisingly powerful little speakers in it, and it's beautiful to look at.

The sound was great. It filled the store w/ great sound and did not distort at high volume. I had to tap at the bottom of the bubbler to start it running, but that was in the instructions to do. After reading some of the negative reviews, I will keep the receipt just in case. Target is great about returns.

Despite the negative ratings I read before I purchased this item, I was quite pleased with the sound quality and durability. My son was expecially happy with the sound quality and overall appearance.
