Bargain bucket - but great!

I was looking for a replacement for my old personal CD player, but didn’t want to spend too much as it seems daft spending a lot of cash on (virtually) outdated technology. I’d rather save up for an Ipod. However, this CD player is fab. Great sound, no problem reading burnt disks (unlike my old Philips model), and you can even see the CD spinning round, which is pretty cool. Very pleased.

Not as good as i thought

The clock radio is not as big as i thought, quite space-conscious, the sound effect is good. The LED part is carefully designed for conveniency, you can read the time clearly from the LED even if you place the radio on the floor. Snoozinazor is very useful.
But all the merits of this clock radio are cancelled by deadly pitfalls: the reception really let me down; there is no such weather alert mode or weather band which are highlighted as main features of this product says on the webpage; only 20 memory presets not 25 showed on the webpage; isolated summer-time-button on the side may be easy to use, but leads to miss-pressed sometimes, results in the time is an hour early or late which is very SCARY sometimes.
Overall, this producd is ok to buy but i beleive you can get better clock radio at the same price.

hmm...not too sure about this one..

First of all it doesn't look like any of the images on the web, so was quite dissapointed when i received it.

-Looks more plastic then anything and at almost 3cm thick the player is bulky(due to the battey compartment at the back)
-Same applies to the inline remote which has the radio built into it,it's not the easiest thing to clip on.
-biggest dissapointment was the radio its self.The reception isn't good even if i'm just listening to it at home and its terrible on the bus

I bought it because its a hi-md player, and a bit of a novice at these mp3 things so i liked the option of recording from a hi-fi. Really wanted to like the thing but in the end wasn't happy with its size, style and radio reception so had to return it. Now i have to start looking for another mp3 player and already my head's hurting from all the choice out there, especially reading all these differnt reviews!

Hope this was of help.

All that you could possibly want

I was looking for a minidisc with radio so I went and bought this for£160. It was special offer in Argos
But now I know how it functions, I would willingly pay £200 for it. Itoffers syrinchonised recording, good quality sound and battery power thatlasts.But best is the fact I can preset fm radio stations. I have 3 of mylocal radio stations(Eagl, Delta and Wave105 just a click away from eachother so no bothersome radio station changing is required. On Saturdays Iuse am to lsiten to Radio five lIve, cos I am an avid Arsenalsupporter.
Anyway, enough about radio. The minidisc is everything you expect andmore.
One minor improvement they could make was to have a program function

Good basic item

I had an earlier version of this model that has just died after about 25 years of continuous use. This model is similar, but smaller and lighter. Nice and intuitive to programme. The only downside of this newer model that I've found is that there is now no separate button to turn the alarm off. You have to find the Mode Switch and turn it off, then remember to turn it back to Radio again, otherwise it won't wake you up the next day.
