What's great about it: Simple installation, Sounds better than you'd think
What's not so great: Auxiliary cable not easily accessed after install
Mom has a small kitchen and was looking for an under-counter solution. Many of the reviews on other sites placed this style of radio into 2 basic categories - Cheap and basically worthless or great-sounding but unrealistically priced. This Sony sure fills the bill right between the two. Super easy to install (place provided template in cabinet and drill 4 small holes), mounts to a variety of depths, and sounds much larger than it is. Good tone, stereo separation, and volume control. The reception is , much better than I thought it might be, since mom lives in a metropolitan area adjacent a transmitter tower for one of the local stations.
Remote is handy, controls are straightforward.
What else is there to love?

I had purchased one of these back in 1995 as a Christmas gift for my wife. It finally crapped out and she was upset. I purchased this one as a Christmas gift for her this past year and she absolutely loves it. Especially now that this one has a hookup for an IPod. We have it mounted in the kitchen under the cabinet. It gets played everyday either the radio, CD player or the IPod. Great little device.

What's great about it: high quality
What's not so great: Can't use an external antenna
Amazon price was $170.00. I paid $80.00 at Best Buy, and both offered free shipping. The radio is very good, and the cd functions well. All in all, a great product.

What's great about it: Sound quality and ease of use. Looks great.
Use it everyday. Great sound in all settings. Install was very easy. Only improvement would be a built-in adjustment for the low signal level from an MP3 source. I have to remember to put the MP3 at full volume so I don't crank up the Sony volume and then get blasted when I switch back to radio.

What's great about it: It's a SONY...everything is designed and works well. Good sound!
What's not so great: The MP3 player cord could be 6" longer...we went to Radio Shack and bought an extension.
It's everything we wanted for a radio cd and mp3 (apple iPod). We were surprised with the remote...it is magnetic so we put it on the side of the fridge...cool!

What's great about it: digital radio tuner, mp3 input
What's not so great: none
This was the best under cabinet radio I was able to find without spending at least double. Spend the little extra to move up to this model. It is definitely worth it.

I received the CD player/radio within a short time of ordering: the price was better than Sony's distribution and it was on hand;easy to mount under counter thus not taking up space; made easy access to music in the kitchen while preparing meals.

What's great about it: Compact size & has all the features we needed
What's not so great: No faults
I did not find any of the problems some of the reviewers had written about. After all you are not buying a high end product & should not expect that kind of performance from this system. This system will work just fine in the average to medium sized room. We live outside the city and the reception was great from all our local stations. If you are a teen & like your music ear shattering this is not the system for you. Plenty of volume for most adults. The CD player works great or you can plug your MP3 player into it as well.

What's great about it: Nice, low profile; easy mounting; very good sound
What's not so great: Nothing to speak of
This product is easy to mount and looks good with 12" deep cabinets. The display is easy to read, the controls are intuitive, and the sound is very good. There are very few under-cabinet units on the market and most others get mixed reviews. This one appears to be a step-above.
