Summary: Absolute Garbage!
Review: I considered giving this item more stars, because when it is working it has rather good sound, as well as a range of useful features, but since it NEVER WORKS, it is all quite irrelevant!

The issue is with the connection of the AC adaptor, which has to be wiggled and jiggled to just the right degree before it will work. If you happen to brush up against any portion of the unit or cord, it will immediately disconnect.

Of course, you can use batteries, but it is much faster to just flush your money down the toilet.

The one thing I can say is this: the shape is conveniant for drop-kicking.

Review: I usually don't buy products with bad reviews but I bought this for my niece because of how affordable it was and it was in the color she wanted. she says she hasn't had any problems with it and loves it... you can't really expect it to act like 100 dollar boom box when it's as cheap as it is. I think its a good deal, regardless.
In my humble opinion, it is well worth the money.

Summary: Fit for a church and more - A Solid Bargain
Review: We needed at least one boom box for our Church Sunday School so that we could play tapes and CDs. After pursuing a donation of a used boom box from our congregation members - to no avail - I shopped the net and found what we needed. Thank You Amazon.com.

I have purchased several items from Amazon.com and have always been completely satisfied with pricing and deliveries.

Anyway - the boom box has a great room-filling sound level. The bass boost is a necessity since the non-boost bass sounds somewhat cheap. The bass boost does an excellent job on all sound reproduction, radio, tapes, and CDs.

The radio reception is very satisfactory.

To load a CD, you lift a lid. No push button mechanism to break. The CD needs to spin a short while to transfer the track information. Then you have all the typical controls - next track etc.

One bit of difficulty is that the tape controls are embossed into the case - same color as the case - and somewhat hard to see.

For occasional musical requirements - this is the inexpensive solution!
