I was satisfied with the purchase when I first got it. This clock/radio/CD player is slim and looks sophicated. I like how it's compact and not heavy to move around. The CD player works alright, but the sound quality of the radio is pretty poor. No matter how I turn the manual AM/FM tuning dial, I can't seem to turn to the radio station I want. Sometimes, there's a hiss sound, which can be annoying. I didn't have this product long enough to find out how the telephone works, because I'm returning it!

Started out being satisfied with having a unit that worked fine, but wasn't super-great with lots of bells and whistles (which is what I expected, for what I paid for it). I liked that it saved space and was easy to use, and had the features I was looking for. I expected the sound quality to reflect the small speakers, which it did, but it still wasn't bad. I liked the night light feature, too. However, the phone stopped working, rarely registering a dial tone, and when it did, sound quality on the phone was very scratchy and would cut in and out. And of course, I had forgotten to send in the warranty card, so my money was wasted in a matter of a few months. I like having a phone by my bed, so I decided to stop using the Coby unit altogether.

Anyway - watch your step with this item. If you do try it, remember to send in the warranty card, the manufacturing is not particularly robust.

First off the phone had really bad static in the ear piece,and I know I'm half blind but even my husband couldnt read the LCD on the phone. I really liked the cd option. But I really couldnt get past, not being able to hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying. So I sent it back. Now I'm looking for another.

The volume control on the handset did not work. Violume was low in all positions. The caller id did not work. The time clock just kept moving and none of the other functions listed in the instructions for the caller id were able to be setup.

This item was purchased less than 12 months ago for my daughter's 13th birthday. The phone always had static and is now completely non-functioning. The CD and radio are ok but sound very "tinny" as you might expect from this type of product. While combining these 4 teenage neccessities seemed like a good idea, the results are a low quality phone, radio, CD player and clock. You are better off purchasing the separate items. The quality will probably be better.

I bought this for my sister. She originally got one from a local store, but after a few months she let it fall from the nightstand and the CD player stopped working. The bottom line is, it is not resistant to a fall and the case is cheap plastic, but for the price and convenience (small, fits neatly in a nightsand), it is worth the price paid.

I like the product. It is a space saver. The only flaw I found in it is that if someone is using a second phone in the house and they hang up, the phone mutes as if someone had picked it up. Other than that the sound quality is great and I really love it.

defective item i would not advise anyone to purchase

This phone, clock, and CD player all work beautifully with one minor exception. If you place this on a flat surface (like a table) you MUST place the phone back on the cradle in its exact position or it will not display any caller ID. This gets to be annoying at times as you must go to another phone if you want to find out who is calling.

My order was shipped quickly and with adequate protection for the item. The company notified me of the day my order was shipped and provided me with a tracking number for this item. I am very pleased with my new telephone and would not hesitate to do business again with J&R Music World!
