Easy to use
I bought this as a gift for my 81 year old mother who lives 1200 miles away. I needed something that she could unpack, understand the directions, and operate herself. She did all of these things and is very happy with this "Boom Box".

inexpensive, but you get what you pay for
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.

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.

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!

CD player stopped working after two months of ownership, it was playing a cd and puff, that was her last one. Also, very troubling for me: I left the powercord at my sister's house and could not find a replacement at any of the usual shops; it takes a special fitted powercord. The radio receiver is also weak, it changes depending on where I sit or walk in the room.

I have owned this one for about 2 years. It it very limited in uses. Sometimes the CDs play and sometimes they dont. It is very cheap and I will be replacing it.

This Coby product is the third of their product line I have purchased, and each time I have been impressed with what you get for the price. I needed a tape and CD player that was portable, and although it's no BOSE, it has plenty of good features and delivers what's promised. Excellent tape handling mechanism, and the CD on top has a secure button latch that actually works, unlike many I've seen. This is not for the serious audiophile, but for the rest of us -- buy it!

Unfortunately, I was looking at the price when I bought this and didn't read the reviews here at amazon. Big mistake! My experience with this product has been what many others here are reporting: It breaks quickly (mine broke the 2nd day!) and starts skipping or stops playing music altogether (sometimes, if I don't turn it off when it does this, it will resume playing later, at some random time). Basically, it doesn't work. This ended up being a waste of money for me!
