Crosley CR612-BK Review by band ldr (Beachwood, Ohio)

I ordered the Crosley Corsair radio from Amazon and it was sent to me by Beach Camera. It arrived and did not work when I plugged it in. Not a sound. I called Beach Camera, who told me they would replace it. They sent me a free shipping label and I returned it to them by fed ex. I didn't hear from them for a long time. When I finally called them to find out where my replacement was, they told me it was no longer in stock. Since the charge was on my visa, I told them to refund my visa account and that I would get another radio from someone else. I still have not received my Visa credit. I purchased a crosley solo radio from the local Target store and am very happy with it. This was a particularly unsatisfactory Amazon experience.

Crosley CR612-BK Review by Holly (Texas)

My son got this for Christmas and for some weird reason it would not always play when we pushed play for the cd....sometimes we had to push the button several times then push stop to get it to play...it would also switch to military time at random. These things happen even with the best of electronics, sometimes exchanges need to be made. We ordered another and returned the first one, we haven't had any problems and it has been working perfectly. It looks great in his room, and we love it! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a cute retro style radio. My son loves cars and it goes perfectly in his room with all of his vintage car signs. We also plan to purchase it in pink for our daughter. Overall it is a great radio/cd player!

Crosley CR612-BK Review by sparker (Andover, MA USA)

I purchased this for my daughter's 7th birthday for the CD alarm function. She is thrilled that she can choose what she wakes up to in the morning and it makes getting up for school a little easier. I wanted a radio that a little girl would like (it's pink) without being too young (I don't do characters). She loves it and is often in her room just listening to her music. The sound quality is not great, but fine given the audience in this case. What is troublesome is the sensitive switches. Every night I check that the CD is the right volume and make sure the alarm is set to "CD." However, many mornings, my daughter wakes up to the buzzer despite the settings. I check all the time to see if it was my mistake. It's still set to CD mode, but the radio seems to have a mind of its own. It's an upsetting way for her to start the day. As was stated in an earlier review, the CDs do not always play immediately. I find I have to turn the power off and on again and play with it, otherwise the disc will just spin. I am disappointed and would not get another one.
