The Bottom Line:
Unless there is a solution for playing CD's I would not just avoid it.
I was very excited when I purchased the GE Spacemaker (model 7-5295) recently since my wife wanted one last Christmas and we splurged on other people instead. So, when I bought this item from a private party for $35 I was pleased and somewhat smug that I was able to buy a "new in box" item for less than half the cost...
Installation was a breeze and it took less than 10 minutes.
I anxiously tried the FM stations to get to my favorite station, but all I heard was a lot of static. The cord to plug into the outlet also serves as the antenna, so I had to move it around some. Ok. But some stations worked and others did not for each placement of the wire.
(This was disappointment #1)
Ok, I thought, I can live without all the stations that the whole family listens to. But, we still can listen to our Cd's...
I pressed the open/close button on the device and placed a CD-R that I burned from my music collection. The placement of the CD was not gentle - it did not just fall in place but needed a little pressure. I pressed the Open/Close button again and I could hear the Cd rotating.
The CD display blinked for about 30 seconds, then it displayed 'ND' - meaning no disk. Bummer, It can't play MP3 files.
I tried another CD that I burned that was recorded without a format change - 'ND'- NO disk.
I then tried a CD that was purchased from a store...so totally bummed...'ND'-No disk.
So, I'm not feeling so smug anymore.
I'll do some research about the CD issue since I already invested time and money into the item, but I wouldn't recommend buying this item since it does not perform the basic functions that it was designed for in a satisfactory way. Most hurtful is the CD player issue - a fatal flaw since that was the main purpose of purchasing the item.
