Emerson PD5098 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio Reviews
It has to be removed and stored somewhere else when using the radio with the batteries. The only thing I didn't like about the radio is there is no place to store the electric cord.
After only 3 months it is totally broken. 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.
This model only played one and a half CD's of my audio book before it went bad. The radio still worked, so I don't believe there was a power problem. The drive mechanism stopped, followed with erractic spins of a few seconds at a time or no movement at all. I gave up struggling with it and threw it away.
After that's done, the CD will stop spinning. Highly recommended. I liked the unit so well that in case Emerson decides to stop making this model, I bought an extra just to stockpile for the future. Unlike bulky boom boxes, its sleek and ergonomic shape makes the Emerson PD5098 an attractive and inexpensive buy, fitting easily into tight spaces around the house. Then you push the play button and begin listening.
If, as I do, you like to do house and yard work to the accompaniment of recorded books, you will find this unit provides good sound and easy portablity. Be aware that starting the CD is a two step operation. A minor related drawback is that its small footprint also makes it easy to accidentally knock over. The player will cue up, counting the number of tracks and so on.
The sound quality is OK for such a small unit, but this is not the product for you if you want to fill a big room with a full sound. The unit can be run plugged-in or using two "C" cells. The latter makes it useful to have in the house for emergencies as a backup radio. This is a nice looking CD/radio combo for your office desk or kitchen table. I found the FM reception to be adequate.
