Reviewed by none (Practical) from St Louis, MO on Feb 08, 2010

I've had very little time to use the boombox, so further comments would be difficult

Great Product

Reviewed by Wispern (Practical) from San Carlos, CA on Feb 04, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Since it was digital I thought it came with a remote like my other Sony, but it was my fault for not checking.

Can still play my cassettes

Reviewed by Forever walking (Frequent Traveler, Practical) from San Francisco, CA on Feb 01, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I have always found Sony products to be very well engineered and reliable, and this unit does not disappoint. The only shortcoming is that the primary buttons are just labeled with symbols and not also with written words (e.g., pause, stop/eject, play, record).

Pros:	Great Features, Durable, Lightweight, Powerful, Good Sound, Compact
Best Uses:	Home Use, Office Use, Outdoors

Great for Seniors

Reviewed by Melissa M (Person with older parent) from Brooklyn, NY on Jan 12, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this for my parents who are in their 70's. My mom wanted a small radio with a CD player that she could keep in the kitchen. I looked at all the reviews, and decided on this. Bottom line: They LOVE it. Rave about it! Digital radio tuner allows them to find radio stations easily. They managed to figure out how to pre-set radio stations on their own (usually the kind of thing I might have to help with), and love playing their own CDs. It's quite powerful, and they sometimes are listening from other rooms. They are extremely happy with the ease of use, and are so glad I got it for them.

Best Uses:	Home Use, Office Use
Pros:	Powerful, Compact, Great Features, Good Sound, Lightweight

Just right for my purpose

Reviewed by Dr. M (Practical) from Hilton Head, SC on Jan 05, 2010

I use it during the night when I want to relax. I needed the combination of tape and CD player. This one fits the bill.

Best Uses:	Home Use
Pros:	I wanted the combination, Good Sound, Lightweight

Nice

Reviewed by larryXcop (Practical) from Queensbury, NY on Dec 14, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I teach martial arts in home studio and need "inspiration" and cadence for specific work-outs and PT training. The "boost" for base response is appreciated and for the buck, has a very crisp, clear tone with nice ergonomics. Nice company to do business with first time out!

Pros:	Great Features, Good Sound, Compact, Powerful
Best Uses:	Home Use

Not so great

Reviewed by BigB (Practical) from Charlotte NC on Dec 12, 2009

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was looking for a boombox that was small with good sound to use in my dance class. The Sony CFDS01 did not do the job. The sound is tinny with no bass at all. If turned up loud the sound gets shrill and distorted. The best use for this machine would be in a small room at low volume.

Pros:	Compact
Cons:	Poor Sound Quality, Not Very Powerful
Best Uses:	Small room

Nice little boombox

Reviewed by Shorty (Frequent Traveler, Practical) from Roanoke, VA on Dec 08, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Sony quality is evident in this smallish boombox. While the sound is clear, with little distortion, do not expect to rock the house. A great buy for the price - a little less than an am/fm/cd clock radio. Only negatives: the handle seems rather flimsy - so I wouldn't take it rollerskating in the park.

Pros:	Good Sound, Compact, Lightweight
Best Uses:	Home Use, Office Use
Cons:	Not Very Powerful, Flimsy

Happy with Product

Reviewed by panda7149 (Practical) from Northern Virginia on Dec 02, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I purchased two of these CD Radio Cassette Recorders -- one for a bedroom and one for a "craft room".[...] were very simple to set up and use. Perhaps the only thing missing on this product is a clock but overall I am very pleased with the product and its performance.
