Super Duper 
2007-11-03
These other guys had a bad experience - bummer for them. I got mine about a year ago and it works fine. Hey the sound is not the best, but for under $150 and for use in the office - it's been perfect for me! I have no complaints, and I've gotten a lot of compliments about the appearance of it. It's a cool looking stereo.
Don't waste your Money

I originally purchased this CD player for my office because of it's sleek upright design and how it would fit on my desk without taking up a lot of room. Unfortunately within a couple of weeks one of the CD players (it has 3) started skipping. At first I thought it was the disc, but after trying several discs, realized the problem was the player itself. I resigned myself to using the other 2 players, but soon they were having the same problem too. I was very disappointed to spend this kind of money on a CD player for it to only last a few weeks. Beware, don't waste your time or your money. Avoid this CD player.

I purchased this item to replace my outdated system. I have owned it for only a few weeks and it's already stopped functioning (no longer plays CDs). Also, the sound quality is terrible, the only thing that sounds good on this system is talk radio. Don't be awed by its sleek appearance, it's like a sports car with no engine. I wish I had spent my money more wisely!
Good sound, poor reliability!

Three weeks after having the unit home, I came home one evening to find it brightly lit, with no characters on the display. No buttons functioned, it would not turn off, the CD door would not open (with three of my CDs loaded inside), and there was that telltale pungent odor of burning electronics. All this occurred after the unit had been OFF for several days. Having read another review dealing with Emerson's reliability issues, I decided to return the unit and upgrade to a Panasonic 5-disc system. The speakers were better and Panasonic does not have the overall reliability problems Emerson seems to have. But, with the Panasonic, I lost that subwoofer out that I liked so much in the Emerson. Bottom line, check out the Emerson. It has a lot of nifty features for the price. If you can take a chance on the reliability issues, you'll have a fine-sounding micro system at a mini price.
