The product review doesn't mention that my player would come absent a cord to plug it into the wall. A space for a jack exists without precise info as to which jack to buy. Otherwise pre-order batteries, which I did not do.

I bought this for my daughter, it plays really good for it's compact size. It sounds really good even with the volume turned up pretty high. The radio reception is good as well and it is easy to find stations your looking for. The tape and CD players are easy to work and work well. It is very light weight and portable with battery back-up. A great value for the price.

I bought this item intentionally as a "cheap" CD player for my daughter's toddler music. Well this is an instance where you truly get what you pay for. I don't recommend this product, unless you are looking for a disposable CD player. After 4 months I finally have to throw it away. I currently have drink coasters holding the lid down. Mind you, the two year old never touches it. All the internal plastic bits are falling off left and right... This really is garbage and I'm alarmed and how poor the quality is. I wasn't expecting trash, but that's what this is. Spend a few more dollars and perhaps you can spare yourself this disaster!

I bought this for my toddler to play music on. One the plus side the sound quality was pretty good for the price. One the negative side the battery life was terrible: 6-12 hours on rechargable C-cells (since it was a toddler toy I didn't wan't to use the AC cord).

I used it for about two months with no problems but later replaced it with a different model with poor sound quality but better battery life. I think someone looking for a bedside CD player would be happy with this.

It plays really good for it's compact size. It sounds really good even with the volume turned up pretty high. The radio reception is good as well and it is easy to find stations your looking for. Great for a small room or home based office space, that's what I use mines for. Excellent price!

After I ordered this item, I read a few reviews here that said the product was a cheap piece of junk that refused to work right. I was concerned but when the player came, it turned out that it works just fine and I have not had a single problem with it. It's smaller than I expected but it is meant to be portable.

I bought this item two Christmases ago for my kids. It was left outside in the (pouring)rain once, and to my surprise it worked again once it dried. The sound is good, my kids (now 11 and 8)used it almost daily for almost two years. My son has been rough with it, and my 1 year old loves to open and close the lid:the lid has finally come off. I was able to fix it many times, and it still plays CDs. For $25 it has stood up to plenty of abuse, and now that it is time to get a new one (even though it still works, the lids doesn't pop up anymore)I am very tempted to buy the same one again.

For the price, it is fantastic! If you are looking for a basic player, this is it! Works great, easy to use.

It is small and compact in size. The strength of the antenna is good, I usually have a lot of problems with reception but with this one I can get stations that never could before. Have not tried the CD player yet. The price is also really great. Emerson Radio PD5203 Portable CD-R/RW Player with AM/FM Stereo Radio

A great replacement of the little Colby CD player. I bought the Colby and found out after I bought it that if it doesn't say CD-R player it won't play burned CDs. So I replaced it with this Emerson CD-R player, it has better volume and plays my burned CDs. Legally burned CDs not piarated CDs.
