Works great with batteries, works great plugged in, the tape/cassette player is amazing.
I love how vintage and classic the look and how it sounds and even feels.
Pros:
* Quality plastic case. This radio feels sturdier than similar cassette players in this price range. The carrying handle is solid as well, for instance, not hollow in the back.
* Good radio reception on AM and FM. Although the tuner uses an radial style knob to change stations, as with many modern radios, the internal tuner uses a digital receiver for tuning the stations in.
* The styling is very nice. The controls reminds of the radios I used in the late 60s and early 70s.
* Can get pretty loud and while producing a clear sound. I played a tape at full volume and there was not breakup or distortion. Could actually feel the air moving in front of the speaker.
* The tape playback EQ appears to be designed to eliminate tape hiss. I tested a high bias tape that included Dolby B NR and it sounded very good; not harsh at all and with no tape hiss.
* The tape controls feel solid.
* Auto stop is included for playback mode.
* The auxiliary input is nice to have for portable media players.
* At around 30$ this is a good value.
Cons:
* The first two tapes I used did not play clearly and kept jamming. The 3rd tape used worked fine. The tape motor appears to be only strong enough to play a high quality tape that is not prone to snags. When a good quality tape was used, the playback speed was accurate, clear, and steady.
* Auto stop does not work for FF or RW a tape.
I took a point off for the possible performance issues playing some tapes. This seems to be typical of today's inexpensive tape players as well though, so I would still consider buying this unit as the overall quality and styling seems to be good for the money. Only time will tell though how well it will hold up.
