Great for price [Posted on 2007-09-30] This machine is very handy and portable. The sound quality is somewhat lacking, but in this price range, I think this stereo is a good deal. I use it in the kitchen while cooking and take it outside while gardening. It charges your ipod and is fairly user friendly. The design is the sleekest on the market.
great item for ipods [Posted on 2007-12-28] We have two different ipods in the house (original ipod and a new nano) and both easily adapt to this system. It was very easy to install under our kitchen cabinet. You can also take it off the mounted bracket and carry it anywhere. The sound quality is great and it's very compact. I would definitely recommend this item.
Emerson iTone Audio System for iPods [Posted on 2008-01-08] I have been using this system for a month now. It is great for the bedroom. Good speaker quality. I enjoy setting the sleep function and being put to sleep with my tunes. Great invention. I love it.
Great, with limitations. [Posted on 2008-01-12] The good: The sound is great for a small unit. The dual-purpose mounting/portability is exactly what we were looking for.
Now the warning: the description says "for IPods prior to Sept 2006" and that's very true. I bought my wife a 3rd Gen Nano for Christmas and thought this was the ideal dock for her kitchen. Seeing the notice, I checked with Apple to make sure they were still compatible. The docks are compatible, but the play/pause & skip functions for the IPod on the unit and on the remote do not work at all.
If this weren't such an integral part of the unit, it would be a minor inconvenience. And if the controls worked, this rating would be a five. The iTone otherwise is exactly what we wanted, I just couldn't get a clear picture ahead of time what it's limitations were.
Nano's beware [Posted on 2008-01-16] I bought this item for my wife who uses it at work. She needed a radio/iPod combination, and this looked like the perfect match. The sound quality is excellent, especially for a smaller room. The only complaint is with the iPod adapter for the Nano, it really should be designed better. The way the adapter is made makes it hard to fit the Nano into the cradle. I had to angle the bottom of the Nano while forcing it down rather hard to get it to sit properly. I was worried I might damage the Nano by having to force it so much. Other than that, I think it's a great product for the money.
