Worked well for me

I bought this for my toddler to play music on. One the plus side the sound quality was pretty good for the price. One the negative side the battery life was terrible: 6-12 hours on rechargable C-cells (since it was a toddler toy I didn't wan't to use the AC cord).

I used it for about two months with no problems but later replaced it with a different model with poor sound quality but better battery life. I think someone looking for a bedside CD player would be happy with this.

Didn't last but a few months with light use

We bought this for our son as an 8th Grade graduation gift. The CD player quite working after only a couple of months of light use. The 90 day warranty was of no use at all. I would not recommend this product.

Did they forget to put the working parts in?

This item is the worst of the worst.

At roughly $29.00 I didn't expect much, just something that would play cd's and the radio, I didn't even expect it to have good reception, just halfway decent would have been great. What I received was a cute looking portable player but I can't with all honestly call is a "CD-R/RW Player with AM/FM Stero Radio". Yes, it did have a button for AM and one for FM and it seemed to have a place to put a CD and yes, it did have an antenna and I did see a volume control button. But, the "item" does not play music, does not turn on, does not have ANY sound coming out of it whatsoever. Item arrived brand new in a factory sealed box packed very carefully by Amazon as usual - what they forgot to put in this unit was all the working parts. Those Emerson guys can be real tricky.

Does the Job

After I ordered this item, I read a few reviews here that said the product was a cheap piece of junk that refused to work right. I was concerned but when the player came, it turned out that it works just fine and I have not had a single problem with it. It's smaller than I expected but it is meant to be portable.

Garbage CD Player

I bought this item intentionally as a "cheap" CD player for my daughter's toddler music. Well this is an instance where you truly get what you pay for. I don't recommend this product, unless you are looking for a disposable CD player. After 4 months I finally have to throw it away. I currently have drink coasters holding the lid down. Mind you, the two year old never touches it. All the internal plastic bits are falling off left and right... This really is garbage and I'm alarmed and how poor the quality is. I wasn't expecting trash, but that's what this is. Spend a few more dollars and perhaps you can spare yourself this disaster!

Junk

I've had this a few weeks now. CD play function stopped after a few days. Radio volume, even when set to max, is barely audible. Changing batteries didn't help. A waste of money.

Great Player

It plays really good for it's compact size. It sounds really good even with the volume turned up pretty high. The radio reception is good as well and it is easy to find stations your looking for. Great for a small room or home based office space, that's what I use mines for. Excellent price!

No cord, No sound.

The product review doesn't mention that my player would come absent a cord to plug it into the wall. A space for a jack exists without precise info as to which jack to buy. Otherwise pre-order batteries, which I did not do.

Great playing and compact CD, Tape, Stereo Unit,Emerson

I bought this for my daughter, it plays really good for it's compact size. It sounds really good even with the volume turned up pretty high. The radio reception is good as well and it is easy to find stations your looking for. The tape and CD players are easy to work and work well. It is very light weight and portable with battery back-up. A great value for the price.
