Customer Review: Can't beat the price. Bought mine last week and it came with a powercord.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is perfect for casual non audio-phile indoor/outdoor use. I bought this to have some tunes outside while myself and a few other workmen are restoring a barn on my property. It is exactly what I needed. I wanted something I didn't mind getting a bit messed up (paint splatters, dings, etc). It's small, lightweight, inexpensive and very functional. The sound quality is decent (especially outdoors with other ambient noise) and though it definitely doesn't have some cooler features (shuffle, etc), it works great for what I wanted it for. I was worried after I read some of the reviews (after I purchased it) that it didn't come with a power cord, but mine did, so I was very happy I didn't have to go out and find one that fit, though I imagine that wouldn't have been that difficult at Radio Shack or some other type of store. All around, I'd say it's a 4 stars for what it is. If you're expecting amazing indoor sound, I'd rate it lower, but it's obviously for pool-side or kids room style use. And if you rate it on what it's meant to be used for, it's decent.Customer Review: Just what we needed
Summary: 4 Stars
It's little, it's portable, and it's cheap...exactly what we needed. No, the sound it not spectacular, but we weren't looking for audiophile quality. My wife wanted a way to take her music with her around the house and even into the backyard, but she didn't want to use an mp3 player with headphones because she may not be able to hear our little daughter. This little player was perfect. It's tiny, lightweight, and round and verges on being cute. And when it's not roaming the house it sits on the bathroom counter and provides shower tunes. And if it dies in a few months, it was cheap enough to replace without much remorse...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: Perfect for my kids' rooms. What do you expect for $20?
Summary: 4 Stars
It's perfect for "small" use. A boombox this cheap is not to be used as your wedding music!!! It's a small, medium quality boombox. And it's perfect to have it in my kids' rooms. We play a background noise CD on it and it's perfect at night, and fun kids CD during the day. It's very small so doesn't take much space on the desk or chest in their rooms. We've owned it for a couple of days only, so I don't know that it will die on me in a few weeks, like some other reviews have mentioned. So far so good, and we're all liking it very much.Customer Review: Cheap and functional - then broken
Summary: 4 Stars
Not the best, but certainly a great value for the price. Like all the previous reviews say, it's a little tinny and has a little hum when it's on. Every now and then it can't read a CD and you have to take the CD out and reinsert it. But I give it 4-stars because I would buy it again in a heartbeat for under $20.
Amended July 05, 2009: I'd change the review to 2 stars if I could. The CD player just went kaput! It was fine while it lasted, but now I wish I would've spent the extra $20 more and gotten a Sony.
