This is rightfully the cheapest iPod docking boombox I could find. Its fairly good, but comes up short in a few areas. The sound quality is decent. Low distortion if you don't try to crank it way up. It does have a digital AM/FM radio tuner which was hard to find at this price level. However, the presets are selected by cycling one button one at a time. You also have to press the button twice the first time, pretty annoying.My biggest complaint with this radio was that it stopped working the SECOND time I tried to turn it on. It turns out the power supply went bad. Literally 2-3 hours after it worked the first time. The manual actually instructs you to unplug the PS at both ends every time you stop using it. Yeah right! I happened to have an extra powersupply for an external hard drive lying around that was approximately the right output (memorex one is 12V, 3A).The story does have a happy ending though. I decided to submit a warranty claim through Memorex's support website 2 days ago. I was clear that the item worked out of the box, then didn't, then did with batteries installed or the other power supply. I've read that these power supplies are often faulty. Anyway, I just received an email from Memorex customer service that a replacement power supply has been shipped to me free of charge and it will be here in 5-7 days! So assuming it shows up and works, I'll be pretty happy with how it all turned out.
