Review 1 of 4

Price Paid:  $129.00 from Wal-mart

Summary:
Like the product but the CD player stopped working after about 5 months. NO apparent reason that I can see, it sat on a kit counter in a corner, never moved or near H2O. No explanation for it, but I will contact AIWA to see what they can tell me.

Strengths:
Nice Sound for a small unit. Good for kids because it has tape and CD as well as radio

Weaknesses:
slightly awkward shape and is kind of useless for me since I mainly listen to CDS (even my kids)

Similar Products Used:
Under counter models, some smaller nightstand models that don't have tape players.

Review 2 of 4

Price Paid:  $65.00 from MalWart

Summary:
What can I say? This is the worst stereo I've ever owned. The cd player even broke after about 10 months! (It began by going off balance then stopped turning altogether. It lacks useful features like preset stations but attempts to provide "Qsound - Virtual Stereo" that just adds noise to the sound and a "sleep" mode that only works on the radio!

Strengths:
Compact, loud, long antenna, makes a good door stop.

Weaknesses:
lack of durability, button layout (the tape buttons are next to the cd and the cd buttons next to the tape), "3-mode equalizer", unresponsive buttons (it takes about 20 seconds for the radio to realize it's been turned on)

Similar Products Used:
Panasonic cd radio cassette player purchased in 1990 for $95 that's been used daily through High School, College and a todler but still works better than this one did.
