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.

I was looking for a small cd/radio for the nursery, but everything was so bulky and ugly. Since we have built-ins in the nursery, we decided that an under-cabinet type of cd player would work nicely. This product is light-weight and attractive, and was a piece of cake to install. The sound quality on this player is amazing -- just as good as a (much more expensive) Tivoli system that we have! Overall, perfect for the price -- we have no complaints.

I really enjoy my undercabinet cd/radio.....the sound is loud, cd player works well, easy to set up....Love it! very happy with my radio. I would recommend it to everyone....

For the price the product is an excellent buy and fulfilled my expectations. Installed easily with the template and is an excellent addition to working in the kitchen.

I tried two of these radios. The lcd display would only light up about half of the display. I gave up and finally order a refurbished sony. Dont waste your time with the Coby.

We received the product and it would not play CD's. Contacted the company Service Center and was told to return the product. We have been trying to get return authorization for a couple weeks now to no avail!!! I would have upgraded to another brand with Amazon,however, I guess the service is not good as the product was not either.

This is perfect for underneath my kitchen cabinet. It is out of the way and looks nice. I am very happy with this product.

This product is poorly made. The selection slide bars are fragile, the cd door isn't lined up properly. I only had it a month and the power wont come on. I can't give it any stars as I certainly expected more than 3 weeks of use from it. Save your money and put it towards a better one.

All channels sound scratchy. I can't even clearly get the highest-power talk station in our region. And, that's with a line-of-sight to their antennas. Not really worth the cheapo price. Reminds me of crappy NuTone products!
