Nice with a couple of exceptions
Pros
Splash proof, anti shake works good, nice sound, easy to program the radio stations.
Cons
EATS batteries even when turned off. Doesn't eat batteries when in use.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
I would recomend it only take the batteries out when you are not using them.
I have had this unit for quite a while. Maybe a year. It is everything it is supposed to be. It is fairly splash proof, I listen to it while washing the car and sometimes get it a little wet. No problem.
I haven't used anything except the CD player and the radio. The anti skip works great.
My major dig with the radio is that it will drain the batteries even when turned off. I put in a fresh set of rechargable batteries and listen to the radio for a couple of hours. The next day I need to put in another set of charged batteries.
So I conducted an experiment. After using a fresh set of batteries for a while, and before putting the radio away, I took one of the batteries out and reinserted it backwards. The next time I went to use the radio, I reversed the proceedure and it worked fine. In fact the batteries went for a couple of months before needing to be recharged.
If I am using the CD, it uses the batteries up much quicker.
Still there is something going on inside the unit even when it is turned off that will drain a set of batteries over night.
I don't use it plugged in.
Other then that, this is a great unit and I would recommend it.
