I was looking for a radio-CD-cassette player for the bedroom, to supplement the standard radio now in use. I was not looking for something expensive but just to play some of my tapes and CDs before bedtime. I hesitated about buying this system after the one reviewer said the volume was weak.
I received the unit today and set it up. It is just wonderful. The volume goes as loud as I would want. But then I'm nearly age 60 so maybe I don't need the volume the kids today would want.
The sound from this unit is great, I rated it five stars because for the price it is unmatched. The AM reception is quite weak but the FM is strong. Tape cassettes and CDs play quite nicely.
If this were a movie review, it would be Thumbs Up!

I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas. After 4 mos. the CD player stopped working. Amazon does not replace items after 30 days and Coby only has a 90 day warranty on their CD players, DVD players, etc. However, they will replace headphones up to one year. If you really want this item, I suggest you purchase the extended warranty to cover this junk.

Great little Stereo, 50amp compact stereo works great. Volume, #1 to 30, I run on #14 its by my computer desk. We live in the Missouri Ozarks so AM radio weak, close stations clear, Music, half volume sounds real good, I'am 70years young, Bass Boast helps. Well pleased with Stereo, Price, Size,

I bought this product as a Christmas gift for my daughter. By the first week of Feb., it was broken. Amazon wouldn't take it back because it was 30 days after my purchase. Coby told me to send it to them, but I had to enclose a $12 check and I had to pay to ship it (another $11). Several weeks later, they sent me a reconditioned unit (not my original) that was dirty and scratched. And several features on it were broken! When I called Coby, they said to return it. I didn't have to send a $12 check this time, but I would have to pay for the $11 shipping from my home. I said that that made no sense- that they should pay for shipping, but they said Coby's policy was to never pay for shipping from customers. This unit is going in the trash and I will never by a Coby product again!

I read the reviews of this system prior to buying it. I was a little concerned about volume, since some reviewers had issues with it. If I was using it for teaching dance classes or at a loud party, it might not be enough...but for everyday living...I would never use this volume at max. It would be way too loud. It does everything it says it will. Not only don't I have any issues with it...on the contrary. I am thrilled. I also added my own image.

My sister bought this from Circuit-City and paid $120! After about six weeks of intermittent use she started having trouble. Unit would not power up. C-C refused refund or replacement since it was over 30 days since purchase. I opened it up to attempt to find the problem but it was not worth repairing.
Junk! Poor quality. Coby customer service non-existant! She bought a Sony from Amazon and it is far superior. Stay FAR away from Coby junk.
Remember Spark-O-Matic from the '70s? This is the same "quality"

I was very much disappointed with this product. The AM/FM tuner was the only functioning feature and that poorly. I will not purchase a Coby product again.

I don't know why Amazon continues to carry this item. The design seemed so right. It was just the correct size. I ordered the first one and the radio played and the tape player played but from the time I hooked it up and turned it on every couple of minutes it would make a loud noise and go out for a few seconds before resuming. Then when I tried to play the cd player it stopped and read ERR. When I tried to removed the disk it wouldn't open. After resetting it twice according to directions, it released the door and gave me the cd but then the door wouldn't shut again.

So I returned it thinking it was just a lemon and ordered another. The second unit came. What a mess. The only thing that "sort of worked" on it was the cd player. The radio didn't work at all and when I tried to open the tape player it was jammed shut. I finally fiddled around to release the door and found that there was a deck dangling inside but it hadn't been installed.

Someone surely inspected these units but not responsibly. They were a waste of time.

Amazon provided a way to return them free of charge; however, the post office wouldn't give me anything to say I had sent them. As of this time, only one of the units has been received by Amazon and it's three weeks since I returned the last unit, and I'm responsible for paying for them if Amazon doesn't receive them.

To say I'm unhappy with this situation is an understatement!

I purchased this for my wife for Christmas and it worked for 35 days then the radio and the CD stop working. I send it back to Coby and after 2 months they sent me a new unit that the CD player quit working after 45 day. The return process was not pleasant I would suggest that if you are looking for a CD player go with a major brand.

After only a few months, the tape player started making a loud hum and then started eating my tapes. I switched to using the CD player, but it no longer recognizes that a CD is in it. I just put it out on the sidewalk for the junkman. If anyone knows of a company still making a small combination CD, tape, and clock radio, please let me know!
