My wife got me this in early December as a Christmas gift. I modified it with a stick on FM tuner and a tablet specifically for my music library and Pandora. I have to admit, this sounds as good as my Yamaha home stereo system. Hopefully it will last. My Brooklyn boombox already has already lost some of the LCD digits and the CD player no longer ejects. I am disappointed but at the same time, I expected it to fail, just not from sitting!
