Not a good value. Product is thin plastic and has inferior components. As stated above the tuning dial is not digital rather old analogue tune it to your station and watch the digital display guess what station you are tuning to. It does have weather band a nice touch but not NOAA weather alert and you need to tune that in also as it is analogue as well. The AM/FM did pull in a few radio stations and offered a coaxial antenna input. The remote is CD function only! Over all sound and function is not worth the price paid. I would expect the MSRP to be @ 25.00 USD. That would be more appropriate. This one is getting RETURNED. I hear for the same price paid Kohl's Dept store has one and I have seen/heard it at a friends house and it is worth the $ less than 50. Live and Learn GPX = cheap quality and misleading advertising on the box.

The sound quality is quite poor - think AM transistor radio. The tuning has a digital display, but a dial knob that is difficult to get tuned properly. I'm returning and going with a higher quality unit.

I got this same system at Kmart for I think 49.99 for my wife's birthday, I decided I was going to give it to her early and install it while she was out. I pulled it out of the box and was totally crushed by the cheap feel of it. I plugged it in and couldn't figure out how to get a CD in it even though I kept pushing the tray open button. Didn't see the am/fm/cd switch not very conviently located on the right side. Once I switched it to CD I was able to insert a CD but the display kept changing as if trying to find a radio station and said it was on AM. The cd (a home burned CDR-surprisingly enough) worked great and sounded good.
I switched it back to FM to see about getting a station and was able to tune in a couple with the antennea still wrapped up (very surprising), then I switched to AM and tried there too, was satisfied so went back to FM and what the heck?!? The station had changed! It doesn't keep the station if you switch from FM to AM or back...seems very old fashion and totally annoying.

Overall I was very disappointed but then again I never heard of this brand and should have known better to get it.

I returned it that night and am searching for another. Hope this saves someone from wasting time and money.

This CD player is ok. I don't get a lot of radio stations with it compared to my other radios. I don't like that the remote doesn't work the radio or volume only the cd player. I wouldn't have rather paid a little more for a better one.

I ordered this cd player/radio to mount under my kitchen cabinets. The cd player would not open. We had already made holes in the cabinets. They sent me a replacement which was also broken. The cd player will not work. I have been informed that none of them work due to a defect. So I can't take it down and send it back because I have made holes in the cabinets.

After drilling holes and mounting the cursed thing, I found that the CD tray would not open -- no CD capability. To make matters worse this item, ordered on Oct. 26th, 05, was a Christmas gift and therefore didn't get opened until Dec. 25th. Result: Return not allowed. Bah Humbug!!!

I bought one of these for my wife when I saw it in a Target ad and it's just fine. Sure, it's not got Sony sound (didn't pay $299 either) but for me it's a lot of product for $49. Includes mounting hardware etc.

Well, there is no way to improve the very poor tuner.. unable to get even the strongest stations without some other station stepping on it. CD player works if you move the secret switch on the side- Very poor monoral sound.. no real stereo.. kind of sound like a kids toy. Mounting, however, was a real treat- no prob at all and very straightforward. Still, all you have is a second rate unit.

We bought one a couple years back, and returned it in less than a week. The reception was poor, the CD player quit working, and even when it did, the sound quality was tinny and shallow. We were almost glad to have an excuse to bring it back--though none to pleased with our holes in the cabinet!

Sony has a version that is much much better in quality and durability, for less than around $100. Yes it's double the price--but you are going to live with this thing for years--in one of the most important places in your house--the kitchen. How often can you keep your spouse happy this reasonably?

Have the same one in white. Worked great for a couple of years. The remote stopped working a while back. I took it down when replacing cabinets, put it back up now makes LOUD horrible buzzing noise when using CD, does quiet a little after a song or two, or maybe I just get used to it.
I wouldn't buy another after reading all the bad reviews, not even if it were $10-, ok maybe $5-.
Spend the money on a quality unit, it'll cost you the same in the long run.
