I have an extensive vinyl collection and was very excited to receive this product. I read some other reviews where it actually ate some users' cds, It just seems very cheaply made, which is a shame considering it could be a really great piece. Unfortunately the cd player does not work and I will have to return it. The motor makes a whirring noise, and it does not read or play the cds. I contemplated keeping it just to use the record player, but even that feels a little weird to use. It's disappointing because the item itself is actually quite beautiful.
I was very impressed by how quickly and well packed my system arrived from Abe's of Maine [.]. The only downside that I have found, is that you cannot fast forward or rewind the cassette tapes - but, heck, cassette tapes are nearly relics anyway. The product itself has excellent speakers and diversity in the system itself because it plays CD's, record albums and cassette tapes. The oak finish is beautiful and warm. It's nice to have a stereo system that handles them at all. Overall, I have had a great experience with the product and the seller.
The CD player didn't work if you had all 3 CD inside, and after the 2nd attemp it got jammed. We had to spend a couple of minutes turning the device on and off hoping it would open the CD player. I returned the item, disappointment since this was a christmas present.
Unfortunately, the CD part stopped working the first day and we had to pry the door open to get the CDs out.After a couple of calls to Crosley tech support (who, in fairness were very polite and tried to be helpful), we all came to the conclusion that it was a lemon and the only solution was to send it back to Amazon for a replacement. I may end up re-purchasing locally. with a decent sound. Crosley has many variations of these entertainment centers. A very attractive piece. the cherry is pretty. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my Mom. Customer service even offered to refund me for the CDs that were stuck in the machine if I couldn't get them out.One note about speakers.
this model (at least in cherry) DOES NOT. Not sure yet.Three cheers to Amazon for making the return process easy. Read the specifications carefully. All in all, a nice system for the price that blends in with traditional decor. For the day it worked, it was pretty nice. Some have auxiliary outputs where you can hook up additional speakers and some do not.
though don't expect the quality of a high end stereo system. However, since mine didn't work, I can only give it two stars.I was worried about getting another unit that didn't work, so opted for a refund. If you intend to do this, beware.
Absolutely beautiful, decorative, great sound, and can listen to old records, tapes. REmote works great, too.Just bought another for my friends.
