Advantages: Stylish, great value, decent sound

Disadvantages: no ability to alter the bass / treble etc

I bought this for my living room, as a cheap stereo that doesn't take up too much space.

Its easy on the eye, with a stylish, quite minimalist look, and easy on the wallet too. The sound quality is good - certainly more than adequate for day to day use, although don't expect it to pump out massive volume.

The CD player is on the top and opens upwards, so if you're planning to squeeze this in under a shelf allow at least a 4-5 inches above it.

The USB interface is very handy - just plug in a USB memory stick and you can browse the MP3s on it easily.

The unit can also play MP3s burned to a CD, and you can fit several albums onto one disc in this format, so you might not need to change CDs very often!

The radio is adequate, but quite basic, with preset channels and not much else.

There's not really much control over the sound output - no adjustable bass, treble etc, but that isn't really a problem for a basic unit like this - the inbuilt settings produce perfectly acceptable sound.

The built quality is quite good, but it does feel a little plasticy

Summary: A great, but basic, music system
