    Cheap cd player, it closed one time and then broke, and would not close. The radio worked, and had good speakers. Bad value for the money. Ordered online, and had prompt delivery.

    Not worth the cost. Didn't take it back because figured it wouldn't last long and inexpensive CD players are hard to find these days.

    Good for the price

    I bought it to use while doing outdoor work around the house or in my shed and it is awesome. Great quality sound even from FM radio. Small and compact and easy to lug around. The only negative aspect I find is that the power cord slips out very easily and that radio stations cannot be programmed. It is still good for its price.

    It does the job

    This was purchased for my young daughter to listen to tot music in her room. It does a pretty decent job and has easy to use controls. I have only pressed CD’s and haven’t tried to play any burned one in there yet. It is supposed to play MP3s from a CD so I will keep my fingers crossed. It would be nice to be able to dock an i device in there, but at this price point it is not an option. Not a big deal as long as I can throw a bunch of MP3’s on a CD.

    Pros = Plays MP3 CDs in random order, sound is pretty good at low volumes. Cons = Could use a couple more watts so it would sound better louder.

    Nice Little Radio-CD-MP3 Player

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this to play audio books in my bedroom. The one I got from wallyworld would skip tracks when it was perfectly still, this one doesn't skip at all. It sounds fine, even playing music. AM/FM reception is fine in my bedroom without having to extend the antenna. It has 3 inch speakers so don't expect to rock your neighbors house. For my use I have no regrets with my purchase.

    Suits its purpose

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This little unit serves its purpose as a small music box to move from room to room in your house or to take along with you when you go out of town (definitely need music in a hotel). It was not designed to take the place of your main home stereo system. I like the blue backlight digital tuner display and it has an audio jack for hooking up an ipod/mp3 player.

    Memorex CD/MP3 Boombox

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased this cd boombox at a Best Buy store in Vista, CA. I had tried other stores; but everytime I would bring it home to use I would be disappointed with its quality and sound. Cd boomboxes are becoming a vanishing breed. After purchasing and returning 2 other brands at other 2 different stores..not Best Buy stores....I finally found this cd boombox. I trust the name Memorex it has been around a long time. I finally found a decent cd boombox that should last a long time. Thank you Best Buy for finally having the cd boombox that I needed. I would recommend this cd boombox to everyone. I also purchased the 2 year warranty through Best Buy. I noticed that this cd boombox was manufactured in October 2013.

    Only MP3 disc player I found in any local electronics store. Very pleased with purchase & folks in the store were MOST helpful. I use it to play Old Time Radio programs I purchased that are in MP3 format containing 50 shows (25hrs).
