"My daughter loves it" | 2008-01-20 |

I was little concerned about what we might get, since we bought this boom box without first seeing it in a store. We are happily surprised, and our 3 year old daughter simply loves it.
Pros:
1. It's easy to use: our daughter can easily load CDs, play/change tracks; the buttons are large and easy to press
2. It seems pretty durable, even if it's mostly plastic
3. Sound quality is good for the price.
Cons:
1. Some of the controls (volume, on/off) seem a bit oddly placed
Other thoughts:
--It has a cassette player?? Who still has cassettes?
I think it's a winner for the price, especially given the amount of cheapo
items flooding the market these days. I'd recommend this to a friend.

| This pink Hello kitty radio is cute for kids. It also works great. The sound seems good and it has cd, radio and cassette for any of their listening materials to work on. My 6 year old daughter keeps it in her room and loves to listen to it and it is also very portable and compact. |

| We purchased this product 4 years ago and use it daily. It has never given us any problems and continues to work great. I highly recommend this boom box! |

We bought this for our six year old for Christmas. It's a very cute player, however right out of the box, the CD player didn't work. The radio did work and so did the tape player, but we bought it mainly for the CD player.
In reading the reviews, our experience seems typical. I think we will buy a different CD player to replace this piece of junk. (One that I have read the reviews on).
FYI: Our 8 yr. old has owned the strawberry shortcake CD player for years and has not had any problems with it . . . . |

"Hello Kitty, not so great" | 2007-10-20 |

| I researched CD players for a couple months before deciding to buy the Hello Kitty Boom Box, due to the great reviews it received. Within 4 months the CD player stopped working. Nows its a expensive pretty pink AM/FM radio. We bought it for my granddaughter who lives in another state, so she could hear our voice, reading and singing to her recorded on CD's. The AM/FM radio were added options we didn't need. So at this point its worthless to us. |

| It was a great gift and worth every cent, but it looks like it's a leftover from the 80's because of the cassette player, I'll have to explain my daugther what that was and I'm sure she'll wonder why her boom box has such thing. |

"Nothing Great" | 2007-08-19 |

| Bought this for my 5 year old daughter. She is happy with it, and everything works fine so far, but it could use a few improvements. Starting up the CD player is pretty slow. It seems to take a very long time to start. Also, not very excited about the dial for sound. Would be so much better if it were digital like everything else so I could set it to a specific level. We use this for sleep music at night and sometimes it's to loud and sometimes it's to soft. So, for now, it works fine but I was hoping for more. |

My sister and my girlfriend got crazy about this boombox, they just loved it! the product is perfectly made and detailed, and it does its work in the audio part. The other great thing about it is the price, in the country where I live, Sanrio products are way too expensive, and trought internet is like 3 times cheaper. |

"Cute but cheap and broke too fast" | 2007-07-11 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1OYBIT3CJ0Q30 |
| In less than a year and with supervised use by a four year old and almost three year old, it broke. I don't get it. One second it plays the cd the next it doesn't. I do not recommend it. It's expensive for what it is and obviously cheaply made. |

I bought this as a gift for my two year olds who ask for music whenever they are going down for naps or bedtime. They have a collection of cassette tapes that they choose from and try to put in the slot. Some day they'll get it... They also are learning how to access the CD part but haven't figured out the pushing the button only once part. It should come with time.
Easy on the eyes (if you like pink) and easy to use this boom capsule fits nicely on top of our kids dresser and has adequate volume range and fidelity for bedtime music.
Cassette buttons take more force than can be generated by a two year old and until they can read, we have to run it. A good enhancement would be to use contrasting colors for the start and stop buttons for non-reading kids.
However, I realize that this was probably not intended for operation by toddlers... although it could be. |
