    Poorly built

    Poorly manufactured and designed cd tape deck that works, but is not what I hoped for. The plastic on a new unit has stray marks and looks like someone was new on the job and the design for things make it not as easy as you would hope to play a tape or CD.

    Only CD player in stock at Best (?) Buy. Was looking for the multiple CD player and hoping it would have an AM radio that worked, unlike this piece of @%#!. Better Luck Next Time should be the Best (?) Buy motto.

    It was broken. It would not connect with my cell phone. I need it in my class, so I was very disappointed Then I was only able to have store credit when I returned it. This was during Covid-19 — I was difficult for me to return it since my school had reopened and I was working very long hours. Overall- disappointed with Best Buy too

    I purchased this in December and just finally got around to using it. The CD lid is difficult to open. I got to play one CD and half a cassette tape, with the radio plugged into an outlet, and it just stopped working. It's like it loses power when you press play. A waste of $50.

    Horrible thin plastic material, including buttons that undoubtedly would not last very long. Impossible to verify that because it would not turn on when plugged in. I attempted using batteries but battery compartment was so fragile that I’m certain it would have cracked since it was so hard to open.
