Emerson PD5098 Portable Radio CD Player Review

This little machine only cost me about $25, so it did just what I expected it would do for that price. I took it to the beach with me and it worked perfectly when playing CDs and the radio. I got good reception from the stations. While it doesn't get as loud as I would have liked, the sound at lower volumes was good and pretty clear. However, when on maximum volume, the sound was kind of muddy. Also, when playing CDs, the player was kind of sensitive. The CDs tended to skip with minor movement of the player. It runs on AC, which has a decent length of cord, or 6 size C batteries. I put in 6 fresh batteries (Energizer) and after 4 hours of CD playing and 4 hours of the radio, the batteries were still going strong.

If you're looking for something small, lightweight, and just enough sound for a small room, bedroom, or the beach or something, then this should work fine.
