Very good kitchen system. My wife loves the AUX option and uses her ipod most of the time. Changer operation is a little confusing but you will get it after trying.

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

I was amazed at the volume and quality of the sound that comes out of such small speakers. The CD player is very user friendly and automatically shuffles CD's. The unit uses the power cord for the FM antenna so stretching it out provides very good reception. The internal AM antenna does not provide very good reception, but I mostly us FM stations anyway. The 20 FM presets are more than adequate to provide a wide variety of listening options. All functions of the unit can be controlled from the compact remote control which is magnetized so it can be stored on the side of any appliance.
The included installation template made it easy to install the unit under a kitchen cabinet.
Overall, from a price-to-feature comparison, this unit is an excellent value.

Service & Delivery comments:

There was no sales tax or shipping charge on the product. It arrived in 3 days in perfect condition.

Kitchen Radio - It's the Best I've Found

By Roger

from Grand Rapids, Mi. on 8/8/2010

Pros:

Am Tuner Reception Good, Easy To Set, Good Volume, Neat Features, Nice Remote Does It All, Reliable

Best Uses:

Under cabinet - Kitchen

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

This radio was able to pull in Am reception where others I tried failed and provided too much static. The poor Am reception on the other units tried probably resulted from the location of my home behind some large hills. Fm reception was good on this radio and the others. The three disc CD changer is great and all is handled by the remote too.

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

I am not a technically-minded person and just wanted a radio/C.D. player that sounded really good and wasn't too expensive. This pretty much fills the bill, although the sound quality isn't as good as I wanted. The remote control is nice, but can't turn on the radio, only off, volume and channel. I

Good....But Could be Better

By JohnAM

from New York on 12/18/2009

Pros:

Easy to install, Good Sound Quality

Cons:

NO battery back-up

Best Uses:

Home Use

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

Easy to use and install. Installation looks neat with cabinets with recessed bottoms and leaves a gap at the top with flat bottom cabinets. Could have used an external AM antenna for better reception. The clock and programed preset stations are lost with a power interruption. A simple battery back-up would have been a good feature. Being able to stack 3 CD's is a plus.

I love this kitchen radio, (I haven't used the CD player, but like having the feature anyway). I used to the tv on while in the kitchen, but now with the radio, I'm getting more done, as I'm not always stopping to watching the tv set, and also, I'm singing more....lol I use this all the time. I'll recommend it to everyone.

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

My wife loves this product. It works great and she has thanked me many times for getting it for her. She is not real picky but she loves the fact that the sound is good and it WORKS. We used to have a GE undercounter cd\radio that broke after 3 years. Our new radio pulls in stations we could not get with the old one. The 3 cd changer is an added benefit. We are happy with ABT as well. No hassles and transaction went flawlessly. Would buy again.

Wife loves it!

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

We have the radio mounted in our kitchen for everyday use. The sound is spectacular and very clear and crisp. The only thing we've noticed is that we have under counter lighting and if we're listening to the radio and the lighting is turned on there is a small amount of static. Besides that I would recommend this product to anyone. [...] I will do business with this company again.

Item work really nice. However, the one draw back is that CD skips easily when a cabinet door or drawer is closed. However, that is a small draw back considering everything.

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

This product was bought as a Christmas gift to my wife. She would drag a portable CD player into the kitchen so she can listen to her favorites. This product was the PERFECT answer and she loves it. With the 3 CD player and radio, it's versitiltiy is great. The sound is good for the cost value of this unit.

I read some of the reviews before purchasing this and they mentioned about how it was difficult to mount. I don't understand these comments at all! This was one of the easiest accomplishments ever. I had my doubts about this product for that reason, because we have solid oak cabinets and I did not want to destroy them by trying to mount something that wasn't going to be easy.

Service & Delivery comments:

I ordered this product less than 2 weeks from Christmas (typical guy) and it was delivered in approx. 4 days. Everything worked great with no problems.

Great sound from a compact unit

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony AM/FM 3 CD Silver Kitchen Radio:

Really appreciate the source flexibility: AM/FM, 3CD Deck and MP3 input (this is what sold me). The quality of sound from a kitchen radio is surprising. Neat-looking undercabinet installation.
Only disappointment was that Sony included round head mounting screws. Countersinking flatheads makes a much neater installation.
