Summary: BE FAIR... Aiwa is just as good, if not better...
Review: Aiwa systems are definately one of the best value for money stereo's you can buy. Despite all the complaints I tend to see, most relate to exceptionally old units - and most relate to those people who never got their Butt into Gear to get it fixed under warranty. That's what a warranty is for! I have owned several AIWA's and have never experienced anything but the best customer service and swiftness of reply in any kind of problem or query. I would recommend AIWA to my closest friends due to the amount of confidence I have in their products - especially the models relesed in the last two ranges. How about a true fair go... if you buy a unit for under $1,000, you can't expect it to perform and last as long as a seperate component $3,000 plus unit! (I bet you wouldn't treat it as well either) Be fair...

Summary: Looks ain't everything: Junk is Junk.
Review: AIWA technically looks good, but it's poor quality ~ that comes with an unbendable, three month, sad warrenty. I purchased an AIWA system last year, and to date, it's junk. The radio is the only thing that is working (with poor reception). The tape player never did work properly and by the second month, the CDs began skipping and by the third month, it was a corpse. Call it lazyness, but by the time I got around to boxing it up, paying 15 bucks in postage, and returning it for a full-refund, the warrently had expired (by three weeks) and they returned it to me parcel post with a mass-produced letter of explaination regarding the warrenty (or lack of warrenty)Even if I were to have paid them to fix the system, the repair work would have only carried with it a 3 month warrenty. My advice? Save your money for a Sony.

Summary: Poor Quality, Poor Fundamentals
Review: I bought an Aiwa product and experienced very poor quality. The stereo cuts out at higher volumes. Also the CD player is already broken after 2 years. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. I was attracted to the good sound and even better price, it looks like I got what I paid for. Bad product components from inadequate power supply to poor quality of moving parts even worse customer support. There is no reason a piece of electronics should fail after two years.

Summary: Poor Poor Product
Review: I bought my daught a Aiwa CD player and like the other commentsmade the CD changer quit after a year. Went to get it fixed and therepairman stated he is seeing alot of these all with the same problem. he recommended to stay away from this product. Take his advice. I wish I would of known this earlier. Yes it is cheap for what you get, but it will only last a few months and then you need to go and but something else.

Summary: shuts down at higher volumes
Review: I bought this system about a year ago, never had any problems with the tape or the CD player but when I try to push the volume to the max it shuts itself down. I talked to the customer service agent and he told me that it is a defence mechanism of the system but I still have my doubts if something is wrong with my system. Does anybody have a similar problem ?

Summary: Kick A** System!
Review: I got this system for X-Mas after months of begging and household deeds. It was so awesome. The 299 watts really shows when you crank it up and the T-Bass makes it even better. The surround sound is excellent and i just bought a sub-woofer and that makes it even better. This is a must buy for someone who wants a awesome system.

Summary: DO NOT purchase this system.
Review: I have had nothing but heartache with my Aiwa system. I thought I would replace my old 1990 Sony system. It works great, but I wanted something new. AIWA was the worst electronic choice I ever made. The disc changer sticks all the time. Last time I tried to use it, it did not even work. The latest problem is with the tape deck. A tape got stuck in it. I finally got it out and now the door on the tape deck does not close. I am trading it in for a Sony or Magnavox.

Summary: Reliability questionable
Review: I have noticed that most of the reviews regarding this product are recent. I bought an AIWA system for my college age son. We both felt it was a great value for the money until one month past the warranty expiration when the CD changer quit working. A couple of months later, the tape deck went out. Everyone my son knows with an AIWA product has run into the same problem. My college age daughter reports the same. I tried contacting AIWA, but their web site does not even provide a way to send an e-mail. After an extended wait on their 800 number, I was told there was nothing they could do once a product was 3 months past warranty other than charge what I considered an exorbitant fee for repair. Bottomline: if well-cared for AIWA systems barely last more than a year, how great is the value?

Summary: The BEST Home Theater Mini System you can buy!
Review: I just received this system a while ago and I think it is a VERY powerful,VERY sophisticated looking stereo.With 299 watts of total power it gives you the major bass according to how you have it preset.(Rock,Jazz,Pop,Classic,etc.)I have it in my room and it looks great and it gives you THE REAL surround sound sensation.I could go on and on with all the details, but you'll have to buy it yourself to experience it.If you buy this stereo I can promise you, you'll be VERY happy with it.
