 Portable CD player w/cassette June 13, 2008
Item purchased primarily to use cassettes in tap dance practice sesssions.
It has completely fulfilled this purpose. The sound quality and ease of use are quite satisfactory.
It is light weight, portable and is easily stored when not in use.
 Unbelievably Poor Quality! May 28, 2008
I received this JWIN mini boombox from Amazon with reasonable expectations after reading many reviews. I wasn't expecting a really solid or heavily durable unit... just expected the unit to be able to read regular music Cds and playback regular music cassettes for a person who would not use the unit that often.
Was I disappointed! Not only did this unit have difficulty reading the first music Cd I put into it, it often did not read that I had put the CD into it at all. In addition, the CD door is flimsy and poorly engineered, as is the rest of this unit, and the sound is mediocre at best.
Finally, within a week of owning this thing and trying to work with its poor quality, the power cord started slipping out of the back all the time, interrupting playback on Cds and cassettes, and no amount of pushing it back in seemed to fix the problem.
Upon investigation, I found out that the prongs on the plug in jack had become bent and pushed in too far in back of the unit, and this happened with me being careful to push the cord into the jack properly every time!
I am not a strong woman by any means, and am fairly gentle on all my home electronics, but this unit is so poorly constructed that it will not hold up to the gentlest use. I therefore do not recommend this unit to anyone, least of all a child or teen, and am returning it to Amazon for a refund.
Beware of defective CD player February 14, 2008
I ordered this to use in my son's room, mainly needing the CD player. I used it for a short time when the CD player suddenly stopped working. I returned it and received a new unit. After less than a month, the same thing happened with the replacement. I am in the process of trying to return it and I am moving on to something different in brand and price range. Hopefully the new product will work for more than just a month. Perhaps this is a case of you get what you pay for? Regardless, stay away and buy something that will actually work.

It is a good product for the price for a very hard to find combo item.

I purchased this with some CD's for my infant grandson's sleep time lullabies. Played one track and CD player died. casseste and radio still worked but CD player was reason we purchased so essentially useless. Save your money, buy something else.
