GPX BCA209S Portable Am/FM Boombox with CD and Cassette Player, Silver/Gray

A bit pricey but a great little boom box. Volume goes much louder than the one I had previously

Small compact and fits into my life style. Multi purpose item

For such a small device, it does have decent sound; ie, volume. 13 watts compared to way less with other products. I wish the control buttons had some color differential. Can't really tell what does what without the instructions. Just bought this so I can play cds and some cassettes in the car. Don't want to fill the passenger seat/floor with a big boom box. Wish newer cars still had cd players.

Just what I ordered

I thought this was decent for theprice, but it's a piece of junk.After a while the CD player wouldnot let me jump to later tracks.So essentially it's only good if aperson wants to play the whole CD.Other program & design flaws Inoticed before areThe layout of the CDbuttons isn't well thought out.The CD well is very deep,making it awkward to reach in,always worrying about scratchingthem. The tape is slow to rewind.The cd player doesn't work well onthe move. It's better for home useor it will skip a lot.The disc door is difficult to open,as if it's fighting you.The disc doesn't stay on pausewhen switching tracks. It wantsto play when it decides.The sound quality isn't great, butwe're not expecting much forthis price. It seems to leave outa lot of bass & drum tones as ifit's supposed to come on otherspeakers that don't exist.

I bought this as a birthday present and the person I bought it for loved it

Well, let me get to the good points, first.1. it plays music2. For the size, the sound is present. The quality of that sound is at level about 6 out of 103. CD player worksNow let's tackle the other side of the spectrum1. The tapes work at their own schedule, maybe 2 out of 52. The radio has a dial, but there's no way of knowing where on the scale you are considering the station, because there is no visual when turning the dial. It just doesn't exist. (The designer must have had a rough night while designing this devise, to skip such an important component)3. It's not a sturdy as it looks. So set it on a shelf somewhere, and never ever move it from its placeOverall, if you want an affordable CD player with an ok sound, then this bargain is for you!

Love this, perfect for home office, great for power outages, plays great
