What's great about it: Look and sound
What's not so great: Small...if you're looking for something big, with alot of presence...this isn't for you.
For the price this product is excellent. My wife got it for me given that we didn't have anything to play music on other than an old stereo from my wife's college days. I really like it. We set it up in our living room and regularly hook up our iphones to it to hear our favorite music.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price, size, ease of set up.
What's not so great: Nothing
I bought this radio for my kitchen. My old one had finally stopped playing cds. This radio is just the ticket. It's compact. It has great reception and great sound. The cd player is easy to operate. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: sound and looks
What's not so great: can't turn down the alarm when set on radio
This was a really good purchase, especially for the price. The sound and reception are excellent; and its small enough that it looks adorable anywhere. My only complaint is that you cannot turn down the volum of the alarm when set on radio. It rings too loudly for me and jerks me from my sleep, but other than that, so far there is absolutely nothing wrong with this radio.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Feature list
What's not so great: Features don't work well
Lets see within the first 5 min:
Radio reception is horrible for both AM and FM
One speaker is much louder than the other
You have to be at a 90 degree angle to the display to see anything on it.
The neon blue background of the display makes it very difficult to even look at. Forget about reading it from more than 4 feet away.
The cd opening cover doesn't open up enough to uncover the entirety of the cd, so you risk scratching your cds every time you put one in it.
There is no real difference in the eq presets, they are all tinny with very little lower frequency support.
The entire unit comes off the stand very easily. Your better off mounting this thing on a wall than sitting it on a counter or night stand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good sound for price-had features we wanted
What's not so great: Can't think of a negative
I bought one of these for my husband's office this summer. The sound is good for such a small unit. We wanted a CD player, didn't care about ipod/iphone or mp3 capability. It was a bonus that it is also has a tuner and alarm functions. With the included remote, he can turn it on and adjust volume without getting up from his desk and going across the office to where the unit sits. We are now buying a second one for a bedroom at home.
I would recommend this to a friend!
