Summary:
Good CD player. Good for jogging anti-skip worked great. Droped too many times in sophomore hall(more than five). used batteries lots, rechargeable ones worked wonderfuly. When it finally died I was sad, in fact I'm seaching for a new one.

Strengths:
CHEAP, well I think so. It was a gift. Worked forever considering the wear and tear I caused it.

Weaknesses:
battery eater (rechargeable work best)

Price Paid:  $30.00 from Dollar General

Summary:
a very well made player, the only real downside i can see is the audio dithering when antiskip is enabled (i tell no lie.. listen to the sinewaves at the end of a bass mekanik CD with the antiskip off then on [make sure bass boost is off for the test]) its best suited for casual listeners and those who have yet to trade in their car cassette deck for a cd deck... NOT recommended for jogging or excercising because of the slow read speed of the antiskip, but all in all its a good deal for the price.

Strengths:
CHEAP, sturdy, powerfull internal amp (rare find in portables).

Weaknesses:
10 sec antiskip only reads at 2x (doesnt recuperate very quick) and dithers audio from 16 to 8 bit

Strengths:

Summary:
Model MP786 MP# has not held up. Unit skipped alot, and eventually failed to work on MP3 cd''s. It still works on music cd''s, but I bought it for MP3. I cannot recommend.

Strengths:
One of the first units out. This justified higher price. Did work OK for a short while(5 months)

Weaknesses:
Has markings on case for record, but that does not work. Vendor has dissapeared, and no hope of any repair is possible. A throw away when it fails

Emerson purchased a wal-Mart for $59.00 with 45 second anti skip Works perfectly.

Summary:
Personally if I ever recieve a Lenoxx sound product as a gift I will return it or just throw it away. I have owned 2 lenoxx sound tape player/Cd players and they have both been crap. The tape player on the one I have now is already broken and I''ve only had this for 3 weeks.

Strengths:
none

Weaknesses:
they don''t last longer that 3 months
