HamiltonBuhl Audio Star Boom Box Radio, USB, Cassette Player with Tape and CD to MP3 Converter

This was a gift and my mother-inlaw loves it because it's compact, not heavy and easy to operate.

I bought this CD player and the back piece broke where I am supposed to to change from CD to radio

This is an american product to american specification 120V and a US plug. If you buy you will need a transformer

Have been using it for about a month and am happy thus far. Sound from CDs is remarkably good for something this unsophisticated. Operation is straightforward. Radio reception in my area is horrible, but this unit is as good or better than anything else I’ve tried at bringing in the one or two stations I can sort of get. Haven’t tried recording to USB from CD yet; will update if I encounter any problems. Only real complaint—and it’s not worth removing a star—was about the remote control. First, it wasn’t included. The company quickly sent me one when I tracked down their contact info, which was nice. But I am tired of products that require me to take time to contact Customer Service to ask for things that were supposed to be included. As a dinosaur, I long for the days when products almost never arrived with missing/broken/wrong parts. Second, as other reviewers have noted, the remote does not include volume controls—not even a Mute button. The lack of the Mute button is puzzling, since I’m guessing that as many or more people want to be able to quickly shut off sound as want to select/skip tracks. If I lived in a bigger apartment or worked from home, this deficit might lead me to remove a star. But since I don’t, and I need the exercise, I can live with telling the person on the phone to wait while I go turn down the music. If you need a basic boombox with a small footprint, this is a good purchase.

Great features for a very affordable price. Especially tape and cd conversion to MP3. High end sound is not expected but for the size and price it is good when using the bass boost.
