Very happy to have taken a chance on this Boyton, model BT-28SPW. Was concerned because of the low price, but am actually now considering getting a 2nd one for a different room; although it's small/light enough to move. My only improvement would be a battery option. I've tried all the features and they all work great. I would advise placing the unit on a vibration pad of some kind, i.e. foam, cardboard or even a book. The phono and radio tend to have background noise while recording on a drive otherwise. After doing that, the sound was just fine. I have not recorded ONTO a cassette or cd, but have recorded FROM all functions to a usb. Don't expect Bose quality sound out of something so inexpensive. However, for just every day use and moving music, etc. to a usb drive to take with you...it's great! Definitely would recommend and like very much!Read full review

For the money, I didn't expect a sturdy build, superior sound quality, etc. However, I DID expect the thing to be intact and at least functional; it was neither. One speaker's front housing was completely unglued/unattached, and the phonograph wouldn't stabilize no matter how many coins I placed onto its arm, nor where in my office I positioned the entire rig. My experience so far––a bad one. I'm just hoping the cassette/tuner/CD elements are okay, and that this thing doesn't prove a COMPLETE waste of time/money. P.S. Another note on the speakers: they emit ZERO bass response. Again, I wasn't expecting BOSE for $180, but damn. If I don't end up trashing the unit entirely, they'll definitely need outright replacing.

This is a really really nice little unit that does everything it says it will do. I had some dealings with the company and their customer service is amazing. I can’t say enough good about them. Now for the people who complain that the sound quality isn’t what they expected, what exactly did they think they were getting at this price point? Even back in the day we would’ve gotten a graphic equalizer and a preamp if we wanted louder and more defined sound. Even without those things this sounds good, not as much bass as the children would like today, but depending on the media you’re using it registers more or less bass accordingly. Running my tv and computer through it was a joy. I connected a pair of powered speakers to it which immediately gave it a deeper and richer sound. So I would have to say that anybody complaining about the sound quality, well, I’m not gonna take them seriously and I don’t see why anyone else should either. Just to reiterate, this is an excellent little unit, it looks good and the company stands behind it 100%. Thank you Boytone, and thank you Mike.Read full review

This is quite a nice little system. The speakers sound great for how small they are. The record player and CD player both work very well, as does the radio. And I love that it has Bluetooth. I have not tried the cassette player yet, though I am sure that works fine too. I really love this system!

This is a very simple stereo to use and for the price you pay I feel that you get a good value. The main thing that I was looking for was a turntable combo and this definitely has all that. I found that the sound for the turntable was the weak point (perhaps quality of the stylus)? But I don't think you will find an easier unit to operate -- everything is on the front panel. I read one review that says it doesn't play full size records but that's not true -- yes, the record is larger than the platter but the lid is 'etched' properly to let the record spin when closed. You just can't have the speakers right up against the unit (they are detatched anyway).
