Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Music fans who need a solid portable boombox should look no further than the Audiovox CE248, an affordably priced model that delivers great sound in a compact housing. The unit's top-loading CD player includes all the basic functions, including skip, search, and repeat, while the full-function cassette recorder archives music from both CDs and the analog AM/FM tuner. Even better, listeners can take the boombox on the road for backyard barbecues, picnics, and tailgaters, as its chassis features a pair of built-in 6-watt speakers. The system is also ideal as a bedroom or office model. The CE248 comes with an AC power cord but also runs independently on six "C" batteries.

This review is from: Audiovox CE248 Portable CD AM/FM Cassette Boom Box (Electronics)

I bought this a couple of weeks ago from Amazon. When I purchased it there were no reviews, positive or negative, so I really was just taking a stab in the dark. Then before it had arrived, I noticed the one negative comment that someone had recently posted. I was bummed and already starting to write it off as a loss. HOWEVER! When it arrived a week later, I was THRILLED! I kept waiting for something to go wrong after reading such strong negative comments from the previous buyer, but it never did. Yes, the radio is the good old fashioned dial instead of digital, but I don't mind it in the least, in fact most of my other radios are that way lol. It still finds my channels and the sound comes in great! We have played over 20 cds back to back on it with no skipping, no stopping, and crystal clear sound! I haven't popped a cassette tape in yet because I don't own one lol, so I can't give you any comments on that aspect. It is much smaller than I was expecting, which is a positive surprise for me. All in all, I am VERY PLEASED with this little machine. In fact, I am now on here to order another one so I can put one in my son's room as well. I haven't found one single thing wrong with this boom box, and have only found positive unexpecteds, not negatives. It's a bummer that the other man that ordered his, had so many things go wrong. It must have been damaged in shipping or something, which even that is bizzare to me because mine came SO well packaged. Seriously padded in there. :) So all in all, I would take the jump because if it is as good as mine is, you will LOVE it, and if it gets damaged like the other gentleman's on here, then you can always send it back for reimbursement or exchange.

This was a very inexpensive boombox. It sits discreetly on my desk and allows me to listen to my favorite CDs without disturbing my co-workers. I've used the radio and the CD player - and plan to bring my old casette tapes to work since I don't listen to them anywhere else. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

I purchased this boom box several years ago and it is still holding up very well. Also, I got it at Target for 30 dollars, which to me was very inexpensive. This is very useful because it plays CDs, tapes, and also has both an AM and FM radio. It also has a spot for headphones. This is a very good buy!
