    I was surprised to find an opening, in the CD player, to the internal workings of the boombox. Eventually enough dust and dirt getting into this opening will render it useless. Not as big a deal, all of the buttons are very stiff to press on.

    Bought this radio to primarily listen to AM. But is does not have an external AM antenna. So reception is poor. It does a fine job with FM radio.

    Upon opening the box, it was clearly visible that this Insignia boom box was made poorly. The cassette tape door wouldn’t open and the push buttons were at different lengths. The CD player made a static noise.

    I've had it a month. First, the cassette function had a bad hiss. Today the radio kicked out. The CD player makes a clicking noise. Sits evenly on the shelf (even if the power cord is kind of short.)
