It was an excellent present for my grandparents and those who still hold cassettes. Now he was able to hear them while checking the radio for baseball games.

I bought this for my husband and he seems satisfied with it. He has poor vision and it is easy for him to use. The belt clip broke on second use and I am awaiting a replacement from the manufacturer.

Like to listen to a plain old radio when I can't sleep at night. These old school radio's are hard to find and I was happy that Best Buy had one. I don't use the cassette feature.

Can you say 'Piece of GARBAGE'?

Bought this for a Christmas present for my mother since she's still listening to books on tape. The standard 'AA' batteries barely fit, and were even extremely hard to put in. The standard cassette tape also barely fit. Made me wonder what country they were made for. The lid had to be finagled or the tape would drag. After getting it to play correctly for only a few minutes, the brand new batteries that were extremely hard to put in, were apparently dead in this device, but would work in other electronics. Trying to change cassette tapes created a whole new challenge since the lid won't open after you get it closed correctly. Ended up cracking one of the hinge lids trying to get the tape out. Need I reiterate, Piece of GARBAGE !!

This was a replacement of a cassette player because I still have many cassette tapes at home. This is easy to carry and the sound is excellent (includes an AM, FM radio).

4 of five cassette tapes could not be played on the player. The motor was not strong enough to turn the reel. The plastic is so thin that even opening the door to insert the tape might cause it to break. I don't know what to do with it???????????

This cassette player works well. OK sound. It lacks a tape rewind feature so you have to flip the tape to back up if you wish to re-listen to something. Getting the tapes in and out can be a bit tricky but overall it functions as needed.

I bought this device for my dad, he loves it. Works as it was advertised. He primarily uses it for the radio because it's hard to just find a radio anymore.

My son has fallen in love with Star Lord and needed his own portable cassette player. This was impossible to find until making a trip down to Best Buy.

This was a poor product and not up to Best Nuy standards! First purchase did not allow two batteries to fit in case. Second and first one dragged tape, sound poor or not functioning. Another style and manufacturing type should be available.

I returned the product for full refund. Good Staff at a local store efficiently handled the return. I shared the funny story that AA batteries did not fit in the small case. The engineering was just a bit off.
