can;t record music from radio to cassette tape.The cassette tape drags plays slow.I tried every kind of cassette tape same result.I wouldn't recommend this product to anybody very poor waste of money.

No remote control (for muting the device from across the room when the phone rings) and no returns (once I realized no remote control). The controls are fairly complicated...in fact, finding the Power button takes a bit of scanning as it is an obscure switch in the middle of many other switches. Not intuitive....and also not returnable.

Not recommended unless you a desperate. Tuner is satisfactory and speakers are OK (presuming you don't want concert quality).

The tape player slows down and speeds up. On the plus side, high speed dub recording can produce regular tapes, but don't count on this one for a regular tape player or double player just for listening. The CD player works nice but why not leave it out? You can find that any place else you want.

I bought this item to play background music in my office. It looks nice and seems well thought out to me. Some of the other reviewers who claim you can't do this or that actually need to read the included instruction book. For example, one reviewer said that you couldn't record from radio to tape. That's not true, but you do have to read the instructions. Nevertheless, based on my own experience and other reivews, it seems to me that product quality is so spotty that you should not buy this unit. In my case, it is the CD player that doesn't perform right. It's almost like there were a scratch in an LP record, but it happens with 90% of the CD's I play. My tape decks and radio work fine, although other reviewers report problematic tape decks and radios. Buy a better built product even if you have to get it used on E-Bay.

I had a BoomBox that finally conked out on me, that's what prompted me to purchase a new one hoping to get one exactly like the one I had. So I was very disappointed, when I found that it did not have an on/off button. In order to shut it off it is necessary to unplug the Box. If I would have known it did not have an on/off button I would not have purchased it. It came from China, so they must have different codes than we have. Another convenience my other Box had was that I could hook up multple speakers to it. This one has only two plug-ins for its 2 speakers. I could not discern from the photos whether these features were there. I am not mad at Amazon.com, because China is the one that messed up. Are there any electrical devices built in the USA, that do not have an on/off button or switch?

The cassette-to-cassette dubbing works well. The cassette recording feature has a serious flaw. I cannot record from a CD onto an audio cassette without the mike picking up outside noises, like barking dogs, sirens, and people talking, plus a loud motor hum. I need to record hymn accompaniments from CDs to a single cassette for evening chuch service, since we have no organist. I must still use my elderly Sony since the new machine produces unusable tapes.

The tuner doesn't always work. Have trouble pulling in FM stations on clear days. Does have good tone and there are a lot of good features.

Purchased at Christmas for summer usage. In May 2010 when first used, I discovered the left channel was inoperative. Naturally the warranty was over (90 days) and the estimated cost to repair exceeded the purchase price. MY fault for not testing, THEIR fault for selling an inferior product. Overall rating HALF STAR since I received only half Boombox. Donate to Charity you'll get better value.

I've been searching stores everywhere for a double cassette, recorder, cd player, radio, stereo. Finding this great, affordable item convinced me to shop Amazon instead of wasting my time, and gasoline shopping at stores.

Hardly used the item, bought for summer use, then was ill and finally tried to use it. The tape pla
yer broke the first time we tried using it. The CD player dosen't play any of our CD's and then we tried using the radio and mostg recently, the tuner button is stuck and can't get my radio station. I wish I never bought it, can I please return it.
