A little better than I expected
(4 out of 5) by Windsurfer on Nov 6, 2007 (Houston, Tx)I bought this for my 12 year old daughter. She has an Ipod nano (one year old). The unit has all of the features we were looking for. Ipod charger,AC or battery, radio, and CD player. She still has a lot of CD's that she listens to. The sound quality is better than I expected from small speakers. Light on bass as you would expect. Styling was right on for her. My daughter is very pleased with it.
A previous reviewer mentioned that the Nano's don't work in this, but my daughters works just fine. The plug slides back and forth to adapt to the various IPod configurations. Time will tell regarding quality.

Great product for the price
(4 out of 5) by C. Gatioan on Sep 28, 2007 (SF Bay Area)I bought this to replace my ihome clock radio. The ihome just didn't have enough volume to drown out my voice when I sang along to my ipod. This unit gets much louder than the ihome. But I still had to keep the ihome because the AM radio reception on on this ilive is so horrible. There is no external antenna, and they expect you to move the unit around to attempt to get better reception.
The sound quality is best if you don't turn it up too much. I just use this in the kitchen when I am cooking, so it suits me just fine and I am glad I bought it.

Lackluster product
(1 out of 5) by A. Armstrong on Dec 25, 2007I was hoping for much more. The unit I received had a problem with the CD player door. It had to be pulled to open fully and popped every time. The radio has an analog tuning dial that is very hard to adjust to the desired channel. The ipod dock navigated well, but there was a clicking in the audio. The overall audio quality was very tinny. I returned this product.

Excellent product
(5 out of 5) by Catherine A. Medeiros on Apr 7, 2008 (Stockton, CA USA)The product shipped the same day I ordered it. It arrived in excellent condition on the date promised. The adapter made it easy for me to attach the second generation ipod Nano that my daughter gave to me. The remote works from a distance of over 15 feet. The sound quality is very good and the choice of black or white makes it work with any decor.

Ipod boombox
(5 out of 5) by Kathy Watson on Jul 12, 2007 (Indpls, IN)This is an awesome player, it comes with a remote and has great sound. I play the am/fm radio and really like it because you can carry it with you.
