Chumby classic review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basic black chumby classic
I recently purchased a slightly used chumby classic to use to play pandora radio around the house and yard.My first thought of the unit was that it looked and felt like a bean bag.I didnt like how long the start up takes(roughly a minute or two).My other problem with this unit is how difficult it is to type,you have to use your finger nails to type.The other problem with this unit is the distance with the wireless,I can only be about 40 ft. away from the router before it starts cutting out.Also didn't like how this unit didn't come with a built in battery so when ever you want to move locations you got to unplug it (which shuts unit off),plug it in somewhere else and go though boot up again.Besides these problems I love my chumby and the ability to use internet radio without a computer throughout the house and yard.
