It was cute while it worked but, the past few months started to skip around and the songs were stretched out and distorted. It finally stopped playing cd's altogether. I gave it three stars because it was inexpensive and did work great for us for the year, just died early. We recieved this as a gift for our daughter's second birthday. We could turn the power off and on and temporarily fix it. This cd player was up on a shelf that she could not reach so it was not being treated poorly. It lasted us just over a year.
Maybe the previous reviewer received a broken one. We received this boom box for a gift for my little girls room. It works great and looks cute. We haven't had any problems with it.
we loved the look of this boom box for our 4 year old, however, it had a hard time reading even brand new cds. quality was terrible. returned.
