Emerson PD5098 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio

I needed something light and portable to carry for work purposes. This fits the bill. I've had trouble with the batteries popping out when loading them in, but I prefer using the cord since the batteries make the unit heavier. Sound quality is good. The CD door doesn't seem very durable but would be ok for light use by an adult or older child. Overall good product for the price.

Ordered the Emerson CD played one day and received it the next. Amazing how quickly we got it .... excellent quality and sound. For the money, you can't beat it.

I got this little radio to replace two big, old boomboxes. The boomboxes are exactly the same except for some reason one picks up some stations the other can't. I wanted to get one radio to take the place of the two. This little Emerson gets good reception except for one station that I really like. So, I'm disappointed in that. But it is a nice compact size and the price was good for what I got.

The only thing I didn't like about the radio is there is no place to store the electric cord. It has to be removed and stored somewhere else when using the radio with the batteries.

This machine often gave us error messages when playing a cd (the cd played fine in other machines) and sometimes would just spin the cd without any sound. After only 3 months it is totally broken.
