I bought this for my kitchen to mount under our cabinets. It works well for the space and is easy to use. Installation was okay we had to reinstall twice to make the mount work correctly.

Pros:

Good sound for my mid-sized kitchen. The sound is clear and easy to here even in another room.

Remote is convenient and easy to use.

Under cabinet mount gets the unit up and off my counter top so I don't have to worry about getting the unit wet.

The unit can be removed quite easily and used on battery when needed.

Cons:

When my iPod (30) is sitting in the cradle it does not seem stable it is very loose so I am worried about the mount connection becoming damaged. I don't know if another size iPod would be more stable.

The FM antennae is a wire that is screwed into the back (can be removed) so it is inconvenient to move with the unit.

The unit can be snapped back and out of the way and the clasp is not as strong as it should be if we bump the unit it will fall down easily.

Overall I am satisfied with this product. As you can see from my review, the Pros outweigh the cons for me.

Recieved this speaker system for my Ipod 30G video. The unit is very small and looks nice. The display is bright and easy to read. It's a simple system that plays your Ipod's music or tunes in FM or AM radio. I haven't used the wall mount kit so I can't comment on that.

Pro's: Small in size, looks great, FM and AM radio comes in very clear, lots of preset stations.

Con's: No bass or treble settings, Ipod does not lock into unit very securely-it docks in but never seems fully secure while attached to unit, the controls can play, stop, FF, or RR your Ipod's current playlist or album but if you want to switch playlists or albums you'll have to manually set it up on the Ipod.

Overallit's a decent system but really needs an equilizer, a more secure dock for the Ipod, and full control over the Ipod.

Yes my husband purchased one for me and I absolutely love it. It functions as an alarm clock as well as a docking station and radio. My kids liked it so that he bought four more. My kids are between the ages of 10 and 5 and they dock their ipods and set their alarm and I have more troubles with them waking in the morning for school. God Bless Emerson.

I use this product in my bathroom. The master bath has a lot of extra counter-top space, and this sits in the corner and is tuned to the local AM news station in the morning while I shower and brush my teeth, etc. It works well for this purpose, though the AM antenna is actually inside the case (inaccessible), which means to adjust for the best reception, you must adjust the whole thing rather than just moving the antenna. The radio reception isn't stellar, but it's not bad either, just your average radio as far as that's concerned.

I like it because I also every once in a while decide I want to listen to some music while I'm in the shower, and I can just drop in my iPod and let it play. Sound quality isn't the best, but it's not bad enough to make me dig into the manual to find out how to set the EQ. This is just a pretty good all-around radio/iPod/clock with a conveniently small and handy little remote.
