1.0 out of 5 stars Only mounts to cabinets with flush bottoms!, November 2, 2009

This item arrived 2 days ago and I'm already returning it. Two big problems right off the bat:

1). The mounting kit is ONLY for cabinets with flush bottoms to them. If you have a normal kitchen cabinet with any amount of trim around the bottom edge, you will not be able to mount this unit. Coby customer service was surprised that this wasn't included in the description on Amazon. So, if your cabinets are not flush at the bottom, look elsewhere for an under-cabinet CD player.

2). The description here says that this unit has a digital AM/FM radio. The radio is actually analog. (Who even makes analog radio tuners these days!) It was a royal pain to find any of our main radio stations when I tested the unit.

I only tested the CD player briefly, but it worked well and had okay sound quality (wasn't expecting the best quality for $35). It took a few minutes to figure out how to set the clock, alarm, etc. because the little owner's manual is worthless. Calling Coby customer service on a Monday morning took 10-15 minutes on hold and another 5 minutes to get the service rep to stop asking for my personal information, listen to my question, and put me back on hold again. Wasn't too impressed.

If anyone knows of an under-cabinet CD player/radio/clock that can be mounted to kitchen cabinets with trim on the bottom, please let me know.

I really wanted a replacement AM FM radio for $15 but could only find units like this for $30 with CD players. It works OK and installed easily. My beef is the controls for the radio. It does not have digital tuning so you turn a dial like the 40's and 50's and try to read the radio frequency numbers behind the dial. Since they are tiny and are below eye level, it's very hard to tell where you are on the dial. (the bottom of most any kitchen cabinet will have to be below eye level.) This unit is compatible with cabinets with hanging trim, contrary to one reviewer's claim.
