This little machine only cost me about $25, so it did just what I expected it would do for that price. If you're looking for something small, lightweight, and just enough sound for a small room, bedroom, or the beach or something, then this should work fine. Also, when playing CDs, the player was kind of sensitive.
I got good reception from the stations. It runs on AC, which has a decent length of cord, or 6 size C batteries. I took it to the beach with me and it worked perfectly when playing CDs and the radio.
The CDs tended to skip with minor movement of the player. While it doesn't get as loud as I would have liked, the sound at lower volumes was good and pretty clear. However, when on maximum volume, the sound was kind of muddy.
I put in 6 fresh batteries (Energizer) and after 4 hours of CD playing and 4 hours of the radio, the batteries were still going strong.
Truly a treat. I needed a portable CD player. We suffer here trying to get other than local stations. It is just fine, especially when I am working in the garden. But, my real delight is the radio which picks up NPR perfectly. The excuse is our location exactly half-way between New York and Philadelphia and the struggle over signals. The problem seems to be solved.
I had to return it and it cost me almost as much to return the player as the player cost. I really wanted this item badly - has great size, design is good, etc. but it did not play any CD that I inserted in it. I felt totally ripped off. Amazon's return postage is not sufficient to cover the new higher postage costs or UPS.
It was okay but the cd player stopped working after about 6 months. I cleaned the cd player but that didn't help.
After 5 days the speakers were shot. Do not waste your money on this. Within only 3 days the cd player no longer worked. I bought it for the portable vertical cd player since space is an issue.(I listen to books on cd and cannot wear a portable device where I work) and there weren't many choices available so I went for the 'name brand' I got screwed. A total waste of money and time.
