Coby CX-CD236 Radio / CD Player Boombox

Boombox? How about alarmclock? Sound? Just ok. Size? Size of an alarmclock. I was a little shocked when I opened it, it's very little. Good for a small child, or if needed for a really small space if your an adult. If I had to do it over, I would spend the $10-$15 extra dollars and get a bigger size and more durable model.

PROS Easy to Use, Compact, Lightweight, nice design Cons: poorly built, un-reliable, VERY LIMITED WARRENTY, CD lasts LESS THAN 6mths, DEFECTIVE CD player I purchased a CX-CD236 on April 11, 2010 and by October 3, 2010 (8 days before the 6 month mark) the CD player on the radio stopped working. My husband and I was only using the CD player on the radio to play our toddlers' lullaby CD during the night while she slept AND THAT WAS IT! I called Tech support to only be told that I had exceeded the 90 day warrenty for this particular radio and that there was nothing they could do for me. CAN YOU SAY MAD AS HECK!!! I would not advise anyone to purchase this radio - the CD player only has a shelf life of about 6 months.

I would give it 5 stars if it had the mix feature. Otherwise, it's great. I love the LED display, which is rare on this kind of appliance! The radio is so-so, but most are, where I live.

I purchased this item to replace my trusty (8 years) CD/radio/cassette player that gave up the ghost recently.Maybe I should have tried to get an updated version of the one I had,because this one just didn't fill that void.AM reception was terrible,the build quality was cheap and I returned it forthwith.
