Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars a PIECE OF CRAP.......2003-06-24

This radio was ok at first but after I used it for a week, and I don't mean rough use, just regular in the house never moves kind of use the cd player crapped out on me. I was so mad. I paid much, much too much for this and I don't advise that you waste your money.

5 out of 5 stars Great for the money.......2001-12-09

I paid ($$$)for this unit brand new. I've only had it for a few weeks it performs nicely so far. The sound is good and it's sporty looking. If you can pick it up for a low price like I did, I highly recomend it.

3 out of 5 stars Good buy but beware........2001-06-15

It is vary cool looking and the supper woofer is nice. But it takes way to many batteries for my taste (10 D’s for exact) if you are going to buy batteries buy rechargeable. The CD player has no shuffle (which I like). Note that the right supper woofer is [not real], (trust me I took it apart to see why it was not working its a plastic molding to look like one. I was upset and that is why I gave it 3*'s). Besides that I use it for roller hockey, it puts out a good LOUDE sound with nice quality and bass. (It takes stray shots fairly good with little skipping).

2 out of 5 stars Return To Sender.......2001-03-07

It came with a totally silent left-side woofer. This would take away 2 stars.

Other than that... it gets its second star for 'cuteness's. A third star can't be awarded - the cassette player controls are difficult to reach and is not as loud as one would expect.

As for its alleged 'ruggedness' - not so (see first paragraph).

Yorx, the manufacturer, has a 90-day warranty that asks you to ship it to their repair center, return prepaid, and wait to hear back from them. I'd rather send it one-way back to Amazon - I trust them a lot more than Yorx.

Overall impression: mediocre+.

2 out of 5 stars Sounded Great... Till it broke.......2000-12-02

This stereo Sounded Great until one day a channel stopped working. I was upset but my 3 month warranty was just up. Ok. Fine. At least I still have one channel and the Super Woofer left. Until today when they both quit working on me. Now I have to work in silence. I work in construction so the radio had some wear and tear, but I was very careful with it. This radio lasted the shortest length of time than any radio I have ever bought.
