Ge Slim Spacemaker 7-5295 CD Audio Shelf System

Like a couple of prior reviewers, this radio was purchased as a gift for my mother. The radio works fine but sometimes static is a problem. However, I didn't mind since it has a CD player. But, it has been about a year, and I recently found out that the CD player stopped working months ago. I thought that maybe it was the CDs because some are burned but even store bought CDs don't work. You can hear the CD spinning but after about 15 seconds "ND" appears, meaning NO DISC. I am so upset because my mother wanted to hear her Spanish CDs in the kitchen while cooking. I wish I would of seen some of these reviews before purchasing this unit. At least I know now that it wasn't only my unit. It seems that GE really needs to get back to the drawing board on this one.
