Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this system primarily to play CD's in the kitchen and install under the kitchen cabinets to be out of the way and off counter tops. The installation was easy and the sound quality is good. It also has an FM radio, but the location where it is mounted, is away from a window and not in the best location for reception. As a result, I do have some stain while listening to FM radio stations. I also like the remote control capability.

Radio doesn't bring in many stations. I love the Bluetooth feature and the cd player.

Great Bluetooth, radio, cd combo. Connects easy and I enjoy listening to my music while I cook. Only had to drill 4 holes to mount to cabinet. Easy to install and sync to my iPhone.

The bluetooth and CD player are excellent. The radio has some static so it's not as clear, but I can still listen to it. I usually just bluetooth through my phone to listen to Pandora or put in a CD. I wanted to be able to listen to some music in my kitchen and I like being able to play my CD's too. I really like it and would buy it again.

Easy to install under the cabinet, this system provides good sound and is virtually 'out of sight'. My wife is happy that my old radio is off the counter, and we're both enjoying this system's simplicity for radio and CD player. I have not used the Bluetooth connection yet, so I cannot comment on that. Worth it's price.

I'm old school and have a ton of CD's...like to listen to actual local radio stations and family uses Bluetooth from their phones. Great system...bought one for my kitchen under cabinet mounting and just bought another for my bathroom. Able to play music and hear it on my deck and throughout my first level...2nd one is in master bath and always have it on getting ready or in master bedroom...so far both work Great and I like having a remote control!

Bought this to replace our 1997 space-saver. The sound is very nice. We are able to get the stations that we like with no problem. There can be some drifting from time to time but that is to be expected. All in all it is a very nice radio and cd player. Also like the blue tooth feature. The best part is that Best Buy price matched it!

its easy to install workers wonderfully, getting 4 stars cause if your in the middle of the house the antenna sucks. but i use this for bluetooth with amazon music. and its amazing. remotes got a magnet so it sticks to the fridge. sound quality is a 10/10 worth the price.

Replaces an under the cabinet CD/Radio unit that we had for years and which finally stopped working. This was on sale when we stopped to buy another item and we purchased it. Great sound, Great CD player/ Wish it had an external antennea as it does not pick up some stations

Great little radio for my kitchen. Definitely louder then I thought it would be. Easily connects to my phone to Bluetooth whatever I feel like listening to or I can break out those old mixed cds for some nostalgia. I’d recommend this radio to anyone for convenience. If you are bass heavy listener this won’t give you that but it does everything else

Able to syce my phone to it and listen to youtube, spotify, etc. Sound is great and gets loud good volume. Plays cd, can answer the phone

We installed in kitchen under a cabinet. Installation was straightforward. Sound quality is good without additional speakers. One negative: buttons and lettering on unit are difficult to read, even with "good" eyes. Overall: good quality for the price.

I've installed 2 Ilive's in the last week, one that was a Christmas gift to my wife via Amazon and 1 of 6 we bought as Christmas gifts for our children via Best Buy. The FM receivers in both required a strong signal. A provision for an external antenna could address this problem. The FM receiver tunes in 0.1 MHz increments. In the US, FM stations are only on odd frequencies, e.g., 90.1, 90.3, 90.5, i.e., not on even frequencies, e.g., 90.2, 90.4, 90.6, .... Accordingly, it would be more user friendly if it tuned just the odd frequencies in 0.2 MHz increments. Mounting both units required adapting the instructions on the template. In the case of the unit received via Amazon, the power plug was straight and required an additional 0.25" depth beyond the holder for the power cord at the back of the unit. This resulted in the front spacers being against the backside of the front lip of the cabinet. The Best Buy unit came with a right angle plug, so that wasn't an issue. What was an issue was the older cabinet it was being mounted on was constructed of 3/4" solid wood and a deeper front lip than newer cabinets are. This along with a 1/4" thick tile back-splash required adapting the template again to determine appropriate 1/4" hole locations for the mounting screws. The mounting stand-offs were just long enough to accommodate the thicker (deeper) front lip without requiring additional shimming. The other thing I did was to counter sink the mounting bolt heads so they would be flush with the shelf. I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the sound coming from small speakers in a small plastic box. While certainly not hi-fi, the sound was clean, i.e., not noticeably distorted, at reasonable volume levels. This was the case for both FM and CD. While I haven't tried the Bluetooth, it did appear to work well when a daughter used it to provide a speaker phone capability. I took off one star because of the FM receiver issues and a second star because the template instructions did not adequately address the problems I had mounting to both a new and an older cabinet. Assuming there are no significant longer term quality issues and given the price, I would most certainly recommend the Ilive - Bluetooth Under Cabinet Music System, given that the above caveats are not significant.

I was very surprised of the sound and features of this stereo besides the price being great the stereo is too. Looks good under Cabinet.

Was easy to mount under my cabinet sleek low profile has good sound easy to program and operate Bluetooth with my phone works great answering phone through system works good love using the mini remote with the system

Would choose a.m. radio over CD player. Love the Bluetooth function and makes CD unnecessary imo. Hard to read functions. Not enough contrast to easily read. Sleek, modern design. In spite of flaws, still pleased.

Purchased for mother-n-law to replace one 15 years old. Sleek and compact. Good sound but you cannot adjust bass, treble etc. Fairly easy to install and directions are clear. Cheaper through bestbuy.com then the store.

This is an awesome stereo the only thing is the speakers have no bass, tremble so on so forth. The price is worth it easy to install. I wish it had a way to either store or attach the remote.

It works well, the bluetooth was easy to connect, sound quality is pretty good and the installation instructions were easy to follow. We are overall happy with our purchase.

NICE SOUND AND EASY TO INSTALL. The price was reasonable but have some trouble getting fm stations. Moving the power cord around seems to help. so far so good.
