Rating: Summary: Not worth it Review: I bought this system thainking we finally had a comparable replacement to the Bang and Olufsen slim stereo but I has horribly disappointed. The sound was horrible - it did not hit any highs or lows so anything besides monoaural sound sounded horrible. Some features did not work logically or did not work at all. Though it is a nice looking system, the quality is too bad to even consider this system. My recommendation - spend for the Bang and Olufsen or just buy a bigger system.
Rating: Summary: a good short-term stereo Review: I had this stereo for about 2 years before it started giving me problems. 2 years after I had purchased it, it stopped playing CD's (even brand new ones straight out of the cases) and it began to skip. It you are looking for a "short-term" stereo and a cool look, than this is a great stereo for you. Otherwise, I would advise you to keep looking.
Rating: Summary: Nice System Review: I have read through the other reviews and agree with few and disagree with most. Here is how:Disagree: It was said that the CD's wont load or they will skip. I have played 3 different home burned CD's in it in the last hour since I got it, no bad loads, no skips. The sound quality is great as long as you dont want to rattle the windows. It wont let you which I think is a great quality. (No, I'm not old and grey, I'm 21 and loud music is obnoxious). It has a very stylish look, and the plastic looks very nice. Agree: When manually changing tracks, the CD DOES skip the intro to songs. Only real bad thing I have notice thus far. And I have played everything from Country to Classical to Heavy Metal on it now, no problems other than this. I would have to recommend this product. It's not a party system, its a good home stereo that won't have the neighbors calling the police on you.
Rating: Summary: Nice - but... Review: I like the system, it's a perfect size and it's appearance isn't blocky or tacky like most systems. However, I'd have to say I've heard better - the speakers are okay, mine has already had to go in for service (the speakers were buzzing when I got it) and the LCD well, isn't consistent. If you're looking for style and something for your office - this is great - though I'm not sure it's the best value out there. For home, I don't think I'd get it.
Rating: Summary: Don't buy this stereo Review: I needed a slim, unobtrusive stereo for my kitchen and thought this fit the bill. It hangs nicely on the wall, and looks great. Problem is, you can't play CD's in it without having them skip repeatedly. I have tried everything. Store bought CD's, cleaning, carefully loading the system, turning the music down, and nothing has worked. I would strongly suggest you look elsewhere. BTW, had it for about 90 days when this started happening, and if anyone knows where to get it fixed, please post.
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your money! Review: I purchased this system and the right speaker has already gone out with regular use. I purchased this system brand new less than 6 months ago. And, more importantly, I don't know where to have it repaired as Fisher somehow is a part of Sear's now and I am unable to locate the Fisher Company.

Rating: Summary: Great Sound Don't Listen to the bad comments it Works! Review: I recently bought a Slim 1500 and it was great. The Sound worked and everything. I looked at some of the other reviews and they said it has bad sound. IT DOESN"T! Its great!
Rating: Summary: all elegance but does not deliver what it's expected Review: i was intrigued by the design and in the store that i bought it it sounded really nice, but when i got home and took it out, i was dissapointed in the sound quality, it sounds good with low volume but when u turn it up it gets distorted, the speakers cannot take much. At first there's a noticeable squeaking when a cd is playing but thankfully it went away. If looks is what you are looking for then this is the one to get, but performance wise i don't think so.
Rating: Summary: Good Looks, Bad Performance Review: I've had the Fisher SLIM-1500 for almost a year now, the first thing that was wrong was that some cds would skip, seemed to be caused by the vibration it makes when spinning. I remedied this by shaving some of the plastic off from the top spinner (I wouldn't recommend doing it for yourself, could render your CD player useless). I thought the stereo would look professional in my office, but without the base and hung from the wall, it looks ugly. The sound quality is quite poor as well, and it is hard to position the antenna to recieve stations that I was previously able to listen to with a different stereo and the same type of antenna (wire). I see that this item wasn't available at the time this review was written, maybe Fisher got the idea and stopped production, hopefully improving it. I like the looks, but it doesn't perform as well as I would hope for the money. I'd stay away from this one.
