Crosley CR32CD Cathedral Retro AM/FM Radio and CD Player with Full-Range Stereo Speakers, Paprika

I bought mine in 2011 and use it almost every day; still works great. The sound quality seems fine to me, but I'm not an audiophile and mostly play cd's of 1920s-1960s music. Looks cute too. The radio dial lights up when it's on, like origianl old time radio dials do. 7/16/19: The pop-out cd tray wouldn't open. I thought it must have broken. Forced it open with a butter knife (I didn't unplug it first, but if you're trying this at home, you probably should) and found the cd had slipped, causing the tray to jam. No issues with the tray opening and closing now. Also noting this model (from 2011 or earlier) doesn't have plugs for bluetooth/mp3 or anything like that- just am/fm radio and cd player.

Send it back once, Costed 35 euro to send back, got a new one that still doesn't work properly. Radio is OK but CD player does not work in both cases. Looks great but is a hoax.

I read lots of reviews on several sites before I decided to purchase this radio/CD. Some reviews were very good, some were very bad. I have had my radio/CD now for a couple of months, and I am extremely happy with it. The radio doesn't bring in stations from thousands of miles away, but it brings in plenty of stations. One of my concerns was that the speakers are on the sides rather than the front. I find that is not a problem; my radio/CD player is on a table in my living room and the sound comes out loud and clear. I couldn't have asked for more without going to a high-end, expensive product. Also, the price through Amazon was better than most sites, not only because of the base price, but because of hidden shipping and handling fees from some sites -- one website wanted almost 30 percent. Can you tell I'm a fan of Amazon?

Two stars because of the vintage style which is basically the the only positive feature of this device. When i received my first radio it had to be returned because it did not work. I used it in my small office and never turned it up loud enough but the speakers blew out almost immediately and I could only use the radio which I did for about a year. It wasn't easy to tune and there was nothing functional about this radio that wasn't a hassle. I replaced it with a Pyle which is just as stylish but actually works! No cds necessary because I can stream music from my cell phone on it. If you want this cd/radio don't waste your money there are better options.

I am pleased with my purchase of the Crosley CD Cathedral radio. My main ambition was to find a radio with the Cathedral style to fit in my personal apt style. It has a CD player, which has good sound. The sound quality is not 100% but I did not expect it to sound like a Bose system. The AM/FM radio has good sound. My only negative comment is that whomever designed this particular radio did not think very much about the placement of the buttons on the front but the instructions did help me. It is a beautiful, wooden Cathedral radio and so far I am glad that I made the purchase. It arrived very quickly and I did not spend extra for S&H. It was here 3 days before Christmas! I do have 2 Bose systems but they are about 15 years old and are not working very well. With the economy being what it is, I think the Crosley is a good purchase. I purchased the radio per the Amazon.com system, which I try to do more & more.

I love this "Cathedral"-style Crosley AM/FM Radio/CD Player. The paprika color is so rich and warm, beautifully finished, and complements just about any other shade of wood finish. My style is eclectic, but leans to the Victorian and oriental with medium and dark cherry, mahogany, black lacquer, and jewel-tone fabrics, so the finish and style of this Crosley piece fit right in. The sound is great -- maybe not like a $3,000 sound system, but it does justice to my classical radio station and CDs. The antique-style, bronze-colored hardware is gorgeous and really completes the look. Everyone who sees it wants to know where I found it, especially when I tell them how reasonably priced it is (they all should know by now that I find my "deals" on Amazon). It arrived ahead of schedule and in excellent condition (good packing), and I highly recommend this product and vendor.

This little am-fm cd player works well. It is no good for a large room or if you want really good stereo sound quality. If you turn it up loud, it distorts. Works perfect for what I got it for, which is my small studio apartment. And it looks great! fits my old-school decor perfectly. Overall, I'm happy with it. it is a little over priced if you're looking for quality sound, but very cool looking. You're really paying for the vintage look and as far as that goes, you'll get your moneys worth.

Goes great in our 100+ year old house. It has a single speaker, so no real stereo effect, nor bluetooth, but it has a headphone jack on the front panel. The radio dial is not digital, so that is a nice old fashioned touch. My only real criticism is the control labels are stamped into the metal face plate and are really hard to see. I may take a sharpie to those just to make them stand out better.

The first one I had to send back because the CD drawer did not function properly but the radio was so beautiful and sound was everything I can ask for, for my bedroom, that it was worth the wait. So I send it back and got another one that works perfectly and I enjoy every minute of it. I can look at it just to enjoy the beautiful wood and the exquisite color. I strongly recommend it.

Cheap stuff

the veneer on the top curve, on both sides have cracks and blistering and lessens the pride of ownership. I believe this will only worsen with time. I am only going to use it in my office and I don't want to go through the bother of returns and drop offs etc. I would only purchase from this brand of products on a C.O.D. basis. I am suffering from buyer's remorse on this one.

I quite pleased with my purchase and the quality of the item. The cds play well with good volume for the size of the unit. The radio has not got quite the same quality of sound, but is good enough and a lot better than the other radios I have. My main problem with the unit is that the front display panel is very difficult to read as the lettering is small and the same color as the display panel. Over all I am happy with it.

Our Red Hat group is having a 50's/60's convention so I thought it would be fun to have a retro radio to auction off. So I ordered this one and am not disappointed. It is a nice size, not to large. Will fit nicely on a side table or anywhere..
