I went for this speaker system after looking at lots of others. Overall I am very happy with this item. Sounds good, easy to use, lightweight. My only complaint is that the clip for the nano will not fit. The nano will fit in the clip, but the nano will not attach to the plug with the clip on it. The nano is secure for the most part, but if you plan on doing a lot of traveling with the speakers you should procede with caution. If you are looking for good sound and a good price, then this is it.

This is a very portable Ipod player (which is just what I needed for my hubby). It has an alarm and plays the radio or ipod. It has great sound, not tinny at all. It's great because it can run off of batteries or the wall charger (which also charges your ipod). The only thing I wish it has was a treble and bass equalizer options, but this is really a great product.

I bought this item to replace my GE Space Maker CD am/fm radio. It's very light weight and sounds great for a small boom box. I have a newer itouch 3G and it does not charge it. I was not listed as compatable but I liked it so much, I did not send it back. The am stations sound pretty good too.
I have not mounted it under my cuboards yet since I'm always bringing it outside and in different places in the house. The only con is that it does not charge my ipod, but I can live with that it only takes 30 min or so to charge it and I only seem to charge it a couple of times a week. Nice little remote control too!

This is a great way to utilize your iPod. It easy to set up, portable, and the sound is excellent for the price you pay. I highly recommend this for anyone with an iPod.

Total thumbs-down on this product. Sound quality was terrible, which surprised me, because other reviewers had had nice things to say about it. The straw that broke the camel's back was the adapter that was supposed to fit the iPod Nano. It simply did not work. The only way we could connect the Nano was without any adapter, and that didn't look or feel right, too fragile. I spent a little more on the Altec Lansing iM600, which sounds fantastic, although that product's clock/alarm clock, supposedly integrated to the iPod's, is bad engineering. for one, you set the alarm and you have to leave the unit on and there's a hum you have to listemn to all night. We're keeping the iM600 for the sound, but using a little clock radio for the alarm clock. Too bad we couldn't find a unit that did everything for the $100 we spent.

This product is awesome. I needed an alarm clock so I purchased this one. Almost perfect except had a slight delay as to when music would play after placing iPod in it but a huge plus that its portable!

Took a little longer to receive the product than expected, but overall I was pleased with the service.

This is the 2nd unit I purchased, First was chewed by dog. This unit didnt have the quality feel like the other one did, felt like cheaper, lighter weight materials, thus sounds was not AS good as the first. Still the best iPod music system for the price. Simple to use and compact. Still recommend it!

The sound on this radio is great, the only problem is that it doesn't charge the new IPOD Nano's.

Although this unit was advertised as having "docking and charging for all Ipods", my iPod Touch 8G did not charge with this unit. It's difficult to control the iPod when the "docking cradle" is in place because it obstructs the touch screen. The sound quality is just OK.

I needed a radio/IPOD player for the patio. This product was perfect. It can run on batteries or be used with an AC adaptor. Great quality sound for such a low price. The remote is a nice feature.
