    Low tech ease, love it! Portable with batteries or able to plug in outlet if no batteries available. Directions understandable and easy to follow, thus easy to use.

    The fine print and proximity to each other make it difficult to operate. It was purchased for use in a group home with developmental challenged individuals and is unlike that it can be used independently and some staff mentioned difficulty in operated, even those with advanse degrees

    Bought the CD boombox with cassette player and the cassette door does not close after a few weeks of usage. Only using the CD player. Not worth the money.

    I thought that the other reviews stating how difficult the buttons are to use was user error on the part of the product users, but not so! I am a computer technician and cannot figure out the buttons, at all, not even with instructions. I do not recommend this product.

    Buttons are too small and several have multiple functions depending on the part of the button that is pressed. Difficult to turn from radio to CD player. Returned it to store.
