2.0 out of 5 stars inexpensive, but you get what you pay for, June 22, 2005

By	N. A. Murphy (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ended up having a lot of trouble with skipping when using this boombox, especially when using burnt CDs. It also lacks a lot of features such as bass boost or a programmable play sequence. The sound is mediocre, but adequate. I'd recommend spending an extra $10-$20 and getting a better model.

1.0 out of 5 stars where is the power cord?, December 30, 2005

By	Laurel Harrington "cranky mom" (Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This thing is sold without a power cord. The fine folks at Coby told me it was only for battery operation. It takes 8 C batteries! I had to pay an additional $9.99 to get a power cord from Coby.

1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for!, January 29, 2006

By	B. Clawson "mommy to three" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased this product specifically for the repeat function. We play CDs at night for our children. We purchased one, and the repeat function stopped working within the first 30 days. We exchanged it for another, and after two months, the repeat function no longer works. It also will not play the CDs any longer. We are so unhappy with our purchase - don't waste your money!
