Total junk... CD player broke after 4 months, radio drifts

 

Total junk... CD player broke after 4 months, radio drifts

Beware: this clock radio is JUNK. The CD player stopped working after about 4 months, used just once daily to play bedtime music for our baby. The radio doesn't have digital PLL tuning, rather it uses a cheap analog tuning dial... that way you can...

Poorly engineered product

I rarely write reviews, but this product is so bad I felt I had to warn others away from it. Here are the problems I have had: 1. The unit has a hard time recognizing standard CDs. I have to power down and up several times to get it to recognize a...

After looking through a wide variety of cd players, (you would be surprsed at how few there are with a clock function,) I settled on this one because of it's design, and it's brand. I have never had any problems with Philips and like their products...

The CD player on this product lasted 3 months and has not played another one since. It just played one day, and then did not the next.

poor quality

i'm not sure if the CD player part held up since I rarely used it but the speakers lost their volume after a year. I'm at about 20% volume and I'm not sure if the rubber band slipped from the dial control inside or if it's broken. I may give it a go...
