Diane, Amersham , “Bought for my daughter”

+ Its a smart ,slim design. Impressed with the sound quality ,have had the speakers at max and no tinging!,Easy to set up , only glanced at the easy to understand instructions. good value for the money.Has many different ipod fitments.Ipod sounds great!

- The opening of the CD has been cheaply designed as it just pings open part of the way (you need to pull it futher yourself!) when you slide the catch/button.

+ Great trendy, funky machine ! Bought for a drinks party at home & all my guests were REALLY impressed by the style & quality for the price.
The remote is a treat as you can use from a distance so can keep control of what's going on (volume etc).
Love the colour, very minimalist & suits any setting.

- The catch to open the CD player may fail over time as a bit flimsy...............but hey at that price you can buy another !!!

Belle, Wrexham , “Happy House Wife”

+ I bought this item as I was looking for something slim line to fit on the window sill of my conservatory and it looks really good, really pleased with how modern and funky it looks and have had a lot of comments about it being so compact. Plays all the CD's ive put in it so far and my iphone sounds great on it. Had no problems with it, so far all in working order and am pleased with everything about it!!!!

- The only problem I had with it was tuning the radio in. As far as I know I was reading the instructions right but everytime I turned it off then on again I had to re tune the stations. This has since stopped happening after re tuning it about 8 times but who knows, I couldve just been pressing the wrong button and it didnt put me off the overall product as only takes a few seconds to get to the station I wanted!!!!

+ ðIts small and tidy looks great and the sound isnt bad at all but for the money its great value and i love it, love being able to listen to the ipod without earphones on and then switch as easy that to radio or cd, plus it means the ipod is always charged no more hunting for ipod plug to charge it.

- to be honest i cant really find anything bad to say about it for the price it is.
