I at first had bought the iLive product and had to return 2 of them because they didn't work (AC plug didn't work)

This one has worked great for a month and has smart features like not charging the ipod when running on batteries. It's missing the CD player the iLive had but hey, if you have an ipod, why do you need a CD player? It's also about 1/10th of the weight of the iLive. This one is very portable and music quality is great for a unit this size.

Only downsides to this unit are nowhere to store the remote control and limited features on the remote (switch bands, volume, skip songs, power) but other than that, it's been a great unit....I'm only sorry I didn't get it earlier.

I bought this unit for my office and I find that it does a very good job. Two drawbacks are the angle of the clock (hard to see viewing angle; you need to be almost on top of it) and it does not fit the 2nd generation nano properly (very tight - I was worried that I might bend the pins inside my nano. I used a larger adapter that came with the unit. The radio's stationary so no worries about it falling out)

But mostly I'm happy with the performance.

I can't tell you how this product performs, because I can't even get it to power up. When I plug it in, I get no response from the unit whatsoever. I initially thought it was a power cord issue, but I tried two other cords I had and neither worked. I am extremely disappointed. I ordered the Jwin Electronics I552BLK to replace it.
