Good deal for the money

A very affordable multi-purpose sound machine with generally easy-to-use controls* and better-than-expected sound quality. Though light-weight, the bulky (and to my taste unattractive) design is hard to fit on the shelves in my kitchen. Also, nothing in the description notes that portable use requires no fewer than EIGHT D-cells. If you choose rechargeable batteries (the sensible choice if you’re using batteries most of the time), you’ll spend much more money on the power supply than you did on the original player! Myself, I bought an extension cord, so I can’t speak to battery life.

In short, for a reliable, listenable basic system, this is an excellent choice.

*The old-fashioned analog radio tuner can be difficult to use in large metropolitan areas with scores of radio stations. Not a problem if you just stick to a favorite station, however.
