I've been searching for a new portable boom box since my old one stopped working. The new one I found is great and has more features than my old one. It's the updated version and can be used with Bluetooth, which is a big plus. I love that it doesn't require a CD and has multiple ways to playback music. My kids love it too; it's compact and they can easily use it to play their CDs. It's user-friendly, has good sound quality, and easily plays CDs without any issues. The top loading CD player and front controls make it convenient to use, even in low light. The built-in handle makes it easy to carry around, and it has both AC/DC power options. It also has AM/FM radio, which has decent reception on FM. Overall, it's a basic, reliable boom box at a good price. The best part is that it's simple and analog, with a digital readout only for CDs, not the radio. The radio tuning can be a bit sensitive, but it's clear and lightweight. I'd definitely recommend it for the price and quality.

This item does not allow manual changing of FM radio stations. You can only use the pre-set function to scan the first 20 stations, with no option to delete unwanted stations or add more. If the radio function is not important to you, the speaker itself is nice.
