lasts no longer than one year November 13, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Actually, this is the third RCA boom box of this model that I have purchased because they are relatively inexpensive and my local Target carries them. The reason however that I have purchased three is that after one year either the tape deck or cd player fails. I use the boom box daily in a home daycare environment, but the children do not operate it. This past summer, I dutifully went out and purchased my third, but it has not even made it three months. The cd player fails to load and the tape deck unexpectedly clicks off after running only a few minutes. Number two boom box actually ate a cassette tape. The unit is attractive but it is simply too inconsistent to recommend. I'm looking for my receipt to take the last one back.
Worked intermittently after a few weeks, stopped altogether after nine months July 27, 2007 Within a few weeks, I started having problems with radio reception and would have to fool with the antennae repeatedly during the day. Sometimes CDs would play and sometimes they wouldn't. Now, less than a year after buying it, it's stopped working altogether. Don't waste your money.

The product arrived quickly and was in good condition, however the remote that the product was supposed to have was missing.
Daughter Loves It! May 1, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My daughter received this, from me, for Christmas. She listens to it everyday and simply loves it. She continues to thank me -- a wonderful aspect for a mom. :)
She's 12 and doesn't use many of the functions, so I can't rate them, but simply playing CDs and listening to the radio is why I gave it 5 stars. Great buy!
Piece of junk April 10, 2007 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I had to return this boombox as soon as I opened it because the CD player didn't work. I got the new one in a few days and it worked for 3 days, then stopped. It is heavy and cheap and not at all user friendly. I have never purchased a product online that was such a huge waste of time and money. I realize that it is an inexpensive, low-end item. Even so, it didn't even meet minimum expectations.
