I purchased this as a gift for my wife who is an "itinerant" exercise instructor, never knowing for sure what audio equipment she'll find at any particular location. I figured that a player that was designed for use by classroom teachers would be durable and work for her as well.

I was impressed by the versatility of the device. it allows for input via am/fm radio, CD's, thumb drive, memory cards and any device (e.g. iPods) that can be USB connected.

Weight and size are suitable for easy transport. It is of solid construction (except perhaps for the carrying handle which feels a bit flimsy to me and is the reason for the four rather than five stars); the speakers are protected by metal (not plastic) screens to preserve their integrity which is important in a machine that gets moved around a lot.Sound quality might not impress an audiophile but is more than adequate for the settings in which this player is likely to be used.

I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a solid, serviceable and versatile player.

I thought it would have been better if power cord was removeable, weak FM radio reception I bought it for the SD card ability

Ordered 2 of these and returned 2. The first would not activate for CD, SD card, or USB usage with the mode switch. I guess I could say the second was better in that the switch worked but unit still would not recognize commercial or homemade CDs. Worst experience ever with a consumer product.
