I've owned this item for over 2 years now and use it on a regular basis. To this day everything functions as proper. For a lower end model, I've remained impressed with the reliability and functionality. Many Media input options.
I live alone and take very good care of my possessions, it's still in like new condition. Therefore I have not encountered any broken or failed parts. I couldn't speak for a busy family with children or someone that would handle it roughly. The material isn't very strong so it would be more prone to have problems in those conditions. The spring loaded lid on the CD player is rather flimsy and could break if it isn't closed carefully. The function buttons on the top of the unit for CD, SD/USB control are prone to wear and can become stubborn. I've found that pressing the buttons carefully but firmly, and in the right spot should resolve that when it happens. The carry handle feels sturdy.
As this unit has no way to adjust sound characteristics (bass, treble, etc) and 3" "paper" full range speakers, one can't expect room shaking sound. However, for what it is, the sound is acceptable. The volume will get exceptionally loud and doesn't seem to loose much clarity. The CD player works very well and usually handles worn and moderately scratched discs smoothly. Will play both standard audio CDs and mp3 CDs. The AM/FM tuner brings in stations very well. Usually these cheaper radios have weak tuners, surprisingly this one doesn't have that issue. There is a nice telescopic FM antenna on the rear behind the handle which can easily be tucked away. The SD/USB reader works well. I have found that it will sometimes play some files or folders out of order. Making sure the mp3 and wma files are properly tagged and labeled will usually correct the problem. The 3.5mm Auxiliary input automatically powers up the boombox when connected to a device, sound output is clear. This model does not have a headphone jack. You have two power options; AC 120V or 8 "C" alkaline batteries. Note that the batteries will add some weight. Using the USB/SD or Aux input will extend the battery life. Using the CD player or having the volume at high levels for extended periods of time will quickly drain the power though. For the SD/USB and CD player modes, a two digit backlit LCD display will show folder and track numbers, no text information though.
All in all this is a great bargain for the price point.

The on/off switch is internally unsound and fails quickly. Warranty is almost useless.
The cheap on/off switch fails quickly and the Axcess warranty is minimal. Their labor warranty is only 90 days and this is about how long the switch lasts. They then charge you to return the unit back from repair. With shipping both ways, you have half the cost of a new unit. Do your self a favor and buy from a different manufacturer!
