GPX BCA209B Portable Am/FM Boombox with CD and Cassette Player, Black

My workshop was definitely missing something when my old boom box had its last day. After quite a search, I decided on GPX. It fits my needs! The ambiance is back, the sound is good enough for me and the price was a-okay. I can even play some of my ancient tapes, which is a bonus. I recommend this choice for such a purpose as mine.Yes it fast forwards and rewinds while playing, also repeats...very satsifies.

Great machine. It just does it all

Smaller than what I thought I was getting. It works. It's very portable and easy to use. It is what I wanted to listen to my music. The one I had went out so needed a replacement. Radio works. Just smaller than what I had.

This is my second one, I let my daughter borrow the first one and I íNever got it back! I inherited a huge collection of cassettes and CDs. With the batteries this travels from room to room seamlessly in-between plugin's.

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.

Great sounds.

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!

For fun.
