GPX BCA209B Portable Am/FM Boombox with CD and Cassette Player, Black

Love this, perfect for home office, great for power outages, plays great

This is my second one, I let my daughter borrow the first one and I íNever got it back! I inherited a huge collection of cassettes and CDs. With the batteries this travels from room to room seamlessly in-between plugin's.

Smaller than what I thought I was getting. It works. It's very portable and easy to use. It is what I wanted to listen to my music. The one I had went out so needed a replacement. Radio works. Just smaller than what I had.

Great machine. It just does it all

I thought this was decent for theprice, but it's a piece of junk.After a while the CD player wouldnot let me jump to later tracks.So essentially it's only good if aperson wants to play the whole CD.Other program & design flaws Inoticed before areThe layout of the CDbuttons isn't well thought out.The CD well is very deep,making it awkward to reach in,always worrying about scratchingthem. The tape is slow to rewind.The cd player doesn't work well onthe move. It's better for home useor it will skip a lot.The disc door is difficult to open,as if it's fighting you.The disc doesn't stay on pausewhen switching tracks. It wantsto play when it decides.The sound quality isn't great, butwe're not expecting much forthis price. It seems to leave outa lot of bass & drum tones as ifit's supposed to come on otherspeakers that don't exist.

For fun.

This unit incorporates a new invention - a radio that has no display for you to know what station you are in or trying to find. You just have to turn the dial and listen carefully for your station to go by. I thought the display window for the CD player would show the radio stations too when you turn the dial, but no. I called the company about it, and they said the radio was a secondary feature, so they decided not to add a station indicator.The CD player seems ok, though the door is so hard to open that I thought it must be electronically controlled, and was concerned that opening it manually would harm it. As it is, it seems it will be easy to wear out. I told the guy I will be returning it. I need a unit for my kitchen that I can play CD's on and also switch back and forth between the 2 stations I listen to, one on AM and one on FM (both news stations). I can't be swimming around the dial with no display every time I want to go from one or the other. I never tried the cassette player.

Just Love my purchase! It's just great. Can enjoy all my music, CD, Cassette and my favorite radio station.Pleasure doing business with you.
