The Bottom Line:
Just remember you get what you pay for before you learn your lesson the hard way like I did.
I saw this CD player on sale at Amazon.com and thought, what a great deal! It was only $30 or so at the time. Now, a year later, I realize it was too good to be true.
This CD player is lightweight and very easy to carry, which is one really good thing about it. When it works, the sound is also pretty good. However when it is bumped it doesn't play very well at all. This CD player also looks nice and I really liked the anti-skip feature, since I was primarily going to use it while running and driving- both bumpy activities. However, the CD player doesn't work well for either.
It is also awful on batteries - you can only play songs for about 45 minutes before it starts skipping and going out, and after an hour it just stops playing all together because it used all its batteries.
For one thing, the clear plastic case that covers where the CD fits into is very cheap and it cracked right away. Now that means it doesn't stay completely shut and in the middle of a song, it decides to stop reading the CD. In the car whenever there is the slightest bump, the CD player gets cranky and turns itself off for no reason. Then you have to start it all over again and find the song you were on.
While running it acts up as well, and I find myself having to hold it sideways, upside down, and every which way just to get it to play. Maybe this CD player would work well if you are sitting still and listeniing to it but other than that, it gives you all kinds of problems if you try to do anything besides that.
If you want a cheap CD player and are willing to settle for some problems it continually has, this one is a good bet. But otherwise I would recommend spending a little more money on a more reliable CD player. I wish I would have!
