    I did not like this boombox, mostly because the controls were so difficult to use. You have to press the buttons HARD for them to work. I returned the product to the store for a refund. I would not have bought it in the first place if I had been able to see it out of the box in the store.

    If I could go lower than a one star, I would. I have had this piece of garbage 3 months and wouldn't you know the warranty went out on March 16th. I used it one time and was going to listen to the radio this morning and it won't work. Never ever buy this radio!

    Not aware that returns were to be made within 15 days. Tried to return within 3 weeks and was refused at the store. Reluctant to purchase from Best Buy in the future with this policy.

    This is an AM/FM radio, Cassette Player/CD Player. The CD's started skipping within a few months. The unit was never dropped or abused in any way. Has sat in the exact same spot since bringing it home a setting it up. Kids have left the nest so it has had only adult use. We do not recommend this product at all.

    This product does not have Bluetooth pairing capability, as described in its specifications. The only way to connect it to another device, is by purchasing a 3.5 adapter cable. Its Bluetooth feature was the reason why I bought it. Now, I have to return or exchange it. Very disappointed and frustrated with this purchase.

    I bought this Boombox for my class. (I have audio CDs that I play for my class) the sound quality was so poor, that I was forced to plug another set of speakers to it. Considering half of my class is done in the lab, this Boombox was going to be a perfect addition. I was going to carry it from room to room. I took it back the next day to Best Buy.

    This item went to a thrift store for someone else to attempt to get it working well. I gave up after one month. Lousy sound quality, ate tapes or did not play, all sound weak or distorted. Totally worthless waste of money!~
