Customer Review: Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
Before beginning my search for a third radio in less than a year I want to warn consumers about this radio. When I received it the tuner indicator did not work. Rather than go through the hassle of returning it, I decided to live with it. Unfortunately it wasn't long after that that the radio just quit. After purchasing two multi-function Radio/CD/MP3 players under $50 on Amazon, I'm disappointed. When purchased these items had mostly good reviews. The experience has led me away from Emerson and Colby products and to buy single function products, e.g., a radio, a cd player when shopping for a device under $50.Customer Review: Hummm
Summary: 3 Stars
Pro:
1. Tiny
2. Tiny
3. Cute
4. Decent radio reception even with very short antenna
Con:
1. Puny sound (but it's a tiny, inexpensive stereo...)
2. IT HUMS. In radio or CD mode, there is a moderate/low pitched hummming sound that comes through the music. Even when you're not playing a CD, there's the hum. I thought it was just me, since I'm very sensitive to hums, but my wife (who doesn't care) noticed it, too, without my pointing it out.
I MAY keep this boombox because it's cheap and cute, but the hum really does irritate me.
Customer Review: Near perfect.
Summary: 4 Stars
While some didn't get a power cord, I did. Although I don't use it.
I like to play music while I'm in the shower. All the shower/bathroom radios I've bought in the past have skipped badly.
This works perfectly. (and no, it's not actually near the shower) It doesn't seem to eat through the batteries, but since only use it once a day, I can't say for certain.
I love the small size and round shape (so cute!)
best of all, it's more than loud enough.
I think it's definitely worth the price.
The only thing that could make this better would be digital tuning.
Customer Review: Stunningly low quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me preface by saying I am not the type of person to submit reviews.... However, I felt this one was justified.
I read some of the reviews and was skeptical of this CD player, but purchased two of them anyways for each of our daughters. From the first touch of the buttons you could tell this thing was extremely low quality. Both, I repeat BOTH(!), stopped functioning properly after 2-3 uses. You had to press the play/pause button 4-5 times for it to register the function, CDs would not play through their entirety. Incredible. Returned immediately. Don't bother.
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY
Summary: 1 Stars
I never leave reviews because I'm usually very happy or at least satisfied with things I purchase, however, this item is really a waste of money for what I needed it for. I purchased it for my 5 year old so that he can carrying it around and listen to his cd's. The cd player does not work well if I can get it to work at all. I have to slam the cd door several times for it to turn on and sometimes, I just give up. Unfortunately, with my busy schedule, I did not have time to return it so we just use it to listen to the radio...a waste since he already has a larger radio.
