Terrible experience
I ordered this item online and on sale as a Christmas gift for my son. When it arrived, the take-up lever on the cassette player did not work. The return experience was terrible. The website told me I needed to take it to the store for an in person return The store staff was professional and courteous, but told me they could not offer an exchange because it came from a third-party seller. This policy was not explicitly stated in the website description. The customer service person of the counter told me to contact guest services through the website and that I should be able to place another order and they would likely refund me the difference between the now higher price and the saleprice. When I contacted guest services as directed, I had to speak to two different agents, and they told me they could not offer me the sale price. The staff was courteous throughout, but the policy was not at all clear, and a gigantic waste of my time.

Big Disappointment
Big disappointment! I was excited to gift this to my daughter for Christmas. It was her one big gift. We poured over the reviews and went for it. Sadly, it wouldn’t even turn on. We tried various outlets just in case. Then to add to the disappointment when I returned to Target I was told I couldn’t reorder a new one for the same price because I had missed the cut off by a day. This was only 15 days after purchasing. They didn’t even extend that price match during Christmas. The manager didn’t do much at all to help the situation. Very disappointed in the faulty boombox that arrived as well as Target’s treatment with the situation.

It's excellent but.....
I love the sound. This unit is very heavy (weight) but it has the ability to sound as good as the Bose multiple cd/radio units I purchased a few years back. I am enjoying playing cassettes that were forgotten, as all the functions have excellent sound. This unit is long and tall, it doesn’t fit everywhere on shelves. The cord is long enough to comfortably plug into most outlets. I won’t be moving it everyday, I would buy this again. This unit is loud, clear and has sound quality that is top notch. Great price. I can’t stress enough the quality of the sound is perfect has bass control and everything I could need. Cassette must be manually turned to play other side, but I can’t tell the difference between functions in the sound. I’m just pleased

Definitely a throw back as
Definitely a throw back as I had an Aiwa stereo in my car in the 80's and always loved their quality! Recently while we were moving I came across some old favorite music but didn't have a way to play it, so this is perfect! Can play my old stuff AND my new stuff!

Best thing since my childhood!
I have never been happier with a purchase. This retro boombox took me back to my teen days, of blasting my music and dancing with my hairbrush in the mirror. This boombox sounds amazing! The bass is to die for. I love that I can listen to the radio, play old cassette tapes and all my old CD's too. I also love how AIWA modernizes the boombox by making it bluetooth capable. So I get to enjoy all my favorites from the past while keeping up with all the current happenings. I love,love,love this boombox and highly recommend it.

Totally awesome! Even records to USB!
This boombox is seriously an incredible product! I smiled big when I unboxed it. Old school feel with modern technology. It's solid and heavy, no cheap materials. You get a ton of input and output options, 2 mic inputs and 40 watts of power. Smooth rotary tuning, treble and bass adjustments, digital display, backlit VU meters, even an EXTRA BASS button! Powered by 8 optional batteries OR AC power cord. Smooth radio reception and tuning and a telescopic antenna. This can play: old mixtapes you've been holding to for years, it can play CDs, it's got slots for a USB stick or a MICRO SD card, it can also play music over Bluetooth from your other devices. By the way, (a favorite feature of mine) you can RECORD from all sources, to either USB option, meaning I can convert my cassette tapes to digital format! The cassette and CD doors have a pleasing slow smooth opening motion, and the fold down, hide-away handle makes it easy to carry around. I'm truly impressed with this AIWA boombox, and I like that it comes in 2 color options. You should get one. A++

AMAZING
This boom box is everything I wanted since I was a kid but now I have adult money and can get what I couldn't have. So nostalgic. The cassette player is the reason why I bought it and it does not disappoint. I recommend it to anyone that wants to have a good quality product.

This is an amazing throw
This is an amazing throw back especially for the price! Easily connects with bluetooth, super loud and then has a working CD player and even tape player. The tape player allows for fast forward and quick pause, and the CD has no skip technology - so you can actually walk around with it! In our case we put it in a wagon during our evening walk. It got the neighborhood talking - and folks were asking where we got it! Love it!

Love this !
My husband was pleasantly surprised with this boombox. I think he felt like a teenager again except we didn't have bluetooth then. Bluetooth on this is definitely a bonus. Quality is outstanding. It has all the great retro features with new technology too. So worth it!

Great quality and features
This boombox took me right back to my youth. It looks exactly like the ones from that era but features modern technology. I especially love that it has bluetooth and that you can connect a microphone for karaoke or to record your songs onto a cassette, sd card, or usb drive. The sound quality is excellent, and the boombox is very well made. It makes a fantastic gift for people of all ages.

Target Cancelation Policy
Beware! Only 10 minutes to cancel if you change your mind on a Target online order. Ordered the Aiwa boombox online. As part of the process the ability to cancel was vaguely presented. Decided to cancel six hours later. Contacted customer service. Told I had had only 10 minutes to cancel after placing order. Target does not explain this 10 minute policy online or with the email confirmation sent. 10 minutes! Informed I can return the item in 30 days for a full refund. Hope so. Very inconvenient. Need to make a 70 mile round trip to do so. Do not plan to order from Target again. This a review of Target not the item.

Elegant Audio with a handle.
Very well constructed retro boombox. Heavier denser plastic shell. Great internal refinforcement makes this unit very sturdy. All the music options of the 80's thru today. Excellent performing amplifer with fully adjustable Bass, Treble and X-Bass. Adjust the tone how you like it. Very good quality speakers. Real 5 1/4 inch woofers and high quality 3/4 inch fabric dome tweeters. Well thought out rear bass ports provide additional bass warmth and fullness. Quality feel. All knobs and switches move smoothly. The black cabinet with gold trim accents hint of the hi-end component audio equipment of the past. Excellent job, Aiwa!!!!
