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

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.

The portable radio CD cassette
The portable radio CD cassette player is a fantastic all-in-one music system! The sound quality is clear and surprisingly powerful for its size, and I love that it combines modern convenience with retro features like the cassette deck. It’s easy to use, portable, and perfect for enjoying music anywhere!

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!!!!
