An ideal recipe for great-sounding entertainment in the kitchen, GE's Spacemaker CD player/radio combo installs discretely underneath a counter, cabinet, or desktop, where it delivers space-efficient performance time and again. The device, which also boasts an attractive white finish, is designed to complement most kitchen appliances and many countertops, adding to its appeal. Audio-wise, the Spacemaker sports a drawer-loading CD player with such essentials as track search (forward and reverse), repeat play, and shuffle play, along with CD-R compatibility for creating your own custom soundtracks. The digital AM/FM tuner, meanwhile, consistently tunes to the center of the broadcast channel to ensure maximum accuracy and minimum static.
Listeners will also delight in the pair of 3-inch front-firing speakers, which provide crisp, clear stereo sound, along with the high-performance subwoofer--a rarity in an under-counter system--to boost the bass performance. Users can further adjust the low-end frequencies via the variable bass control.
The Spacemaker is more than just a stereo, however. It also offers a digital clock and alarm with a green backlit LCD display, along with a three-position counter light. The clock and alarm set quickly and easily thanks to the forward and reverse time-set controls, while the time-hold capacitor stores just enough energy to keep the time and wake settings intact during momentary power failures. The counter light is also handy, with a high setting that offers a generous beam for countertop illumination and a low setting that functions as a night light. The Spacemaker even comes with a 40-watt bulb.
Additional features include a countdown timer (0 to 30 minutes) that's great for cooking meals; a remote control that stores conveniently with the unit or on the fridge using the rear magnet; and a convenient cord wrap and hooks that keep the power cable from getting in the way. The Spacemaker comes with all the necessary mounting hardware and adjustable spacers to fit various types of kitchen cabinets. And at 15.5 by 4.8 by 11.9 inches (W x H x D), it takes up a minimum of space. The unit is also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

This kitchen radio/CD Player is a subsequent model to one that I owned years ago. It has great sound quality, radio sensivity (pick up distant stations) and good overall appearance. it was in a good condition and appropriately priced.

I've had this cd/radio for 4 or 5 years now and it's great! I have not had that first problem. The only thing I can complain about is when my husband gets home from work he has a tendency to slam the kitchen door and at times it will make my cd skip. I blame him though and not the player. It never does it otherwise. My radio works great and picks up many stations, my cd player is great and it does play burned cds. I will keep this thing until I run it into the ground. One other thing, the sound quality is decent, it works for where you have it. Plus, I have a ton of space for the more important kitchen items. If you want surround sound in your kitchen, wire it and hook it up.

I have just recently taken this item out of my kitchen after years of displeasure. The sound quality is terrible. The volume mysteriously turns down on the radio and the only way to fix it is to either turn up the volume (and then get blasted away when the volume unexpectly increases!) or turn off/on the radio. This technique only works occasionally. Also, this player will not play any CD's that you have burned yourself. All-in-all, I would not recommend this radio to anyone.

Too bad Amazon won't allow 0 or negative stars. I read the bad reviews on these but decided to try it anyway because the fetching Mrs. wanted it bad. What a mistake! When the plastic mount for the laser pickup broke from snapping CDs onto the spindle, it jammed and burned out a motor. It is the cheeziest CD drive mechanism I have ever laid eyes on, and I've seen a lot of them in my line of work. Avoid this piece of junk at all costs!

My hubby bought me a Memorex MC3800 for my birthday & it was awful. We happened to try this one as a replacement. I love it! The reception is good and the extra bass really makes a difference. WAY better than the Memorex.

The good: digital tuning, decent sound (not great, but good) for the size, doesn't take up a lot of space. The bad: listen to the other reviews about reception - I can't get an FM station on this device that I can with every other radio (including my car) I use in the house - and I am only about 10 miles from the transmitter. Most stations come in just fine, but if you are at all concerned about an iffy station, you will probably not get it on this device. Last complaint - no volume indicator and the machine resets volume to low level every time you turn it off, so you have to hold the button and wait to get the volume you like everytime you turn it on. The ugly: no one else is making a comparable product. If you want to save space in the kitchen, for now this is the way to go. Anyone reading these reviews who has some money to invest - go find someone to build a *quality* space saver CD player! GE, are you reading this? Can you *show* us the volume level and leave them in memory, and do something about the reception?

This product satisfied all our expectations, though admittedly we were not expecting much. The design and convenience are exceptional, the sound is good (I would like an intermediate bass setting, perhaps even variable EQ), and I get most all of my favorite radio stations. Installation was fairly simple...though I had to modify the template a little bit to accomodate the overhang on our shelf. If you want true Hi-Fi in the kitchen then you'll have to spend more money and do a real customized install. But for what it does and the room it (doesn't) take up--we love our GE Spacemaker clock radio/CD player.

For this spacemaker you will want to lower your expectations. Installation was not bad however we did not get a template in the box. Sound quality is like a little protable radio so don't expect it to be the quality of, say a boom box...it's not there. The Bass Boost is worthless, I notice no difference when it's on. You should also be aware that the reception is very poor. I was not able to get stations I can get on all other radios. The attenna is in the power cord which must be stretched all the way out for mediocre reception so plan on having run room for the cord. I was very dissapointed with this product and would not recommend it. For half the price you can get a small boom box or radio that will sound much better. The stations are not easily set. You have to scroll through the stations so plan on having presets or spending plenty of time holding down the tuning button. Based on functionality and materials quality this product shouldn't cost any more than $50 tops.
