Review on πŸ“» NAXA Electronics NPB-251BK: Compact Portable CD Player with AM/FM Stereo Radio, Black by Homer Reed

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very picky about what CDs he reads!

I ordered this for my 93 year old mum with dementia because it was recommended to me as easy to use. However, he is VERY picky about the CDs he reads! I did a test with an old boombox I had. This newly purchased player rejected most discs with minor scratches, while the old boombox read and played the same CDs just fine (yes, the same ones with a few scratches)! MOM's favorite music CDs with a few minor scratches! I will say that the radio function worked damn well with internal antennas. And a simple design is good, especially for the elderly who have technical problems.

Pros
  • Annual probationary period
Cons
  • The list will be long.
