    I love this Emerson Portable player. It is just the right size and weight and is super easy to use. The price was right and it plays cassettes as well as having AM/FM radio. I love it!

    Bought this to replace a similar radio I had gotten years ago. Overall everything is easy to use, buttons makes sense, etc. But quality coming out of speakers is a little poor. It especially makes the cassettes sound very cassette-y (for lack of a better word), when I know they've sounded better through other speakers. But everything else works great

    It was just the size we were looking for, along with the antenna! The sound of the stations has been really clear. We’re very pleased with our buy. Also loved that you can use batteries in this one for our fishing trips!

    Out of the box, the CD player did not work. It was not reading the disc and the display showed as ERR. I tried 4 different brand new CD's. There were no issues with the cassette player, FM & AM radio functions. I tried calling Best Buy and and found there was no way to talk to the local store. I was able to navigate out of the AI chat box and speak to a human being who assured me I could return the boombox to my local store within 15 days. Best Buy could not give me a refund but they immediately shipped it back to the market place. I am pleased that I did get a total refund once the item was received.

    Nice, light, and compact. Didn't have the full sound that I was looking for. Needed more bass. If looking for a small portable boombox, this would work for you.

    It was smaller than I expected. The sound is a bit tinny, so the sound is likely due to the small built-in speakers. I5 have not tried to connect Aux larger speakers. Ok for listening to the radio, but not my CDs
