Positives:
- Radio with scan function.
- Playback of SD card or USB flash drive (Attention: max 8 GB!). Note .: The guide speaks only of SD, the card slot is labeled SD / MMC. Since I have only tested with SD, MMC I can make no statement.
- Line-in and headphone ports.
- Ability to operate on AA batteries / accumulators or mains adapter (6V).
- Except for the microphone robust design.
- (Press button for more micro) recording capability.
- The maximum volume is kept within limits.
Negatives:
- The power supply or batteries are included.
- The microphone works just cheap and does not promise durability.
- The operation is awkward - what the child does not bother much.
- The instructions say meant by a data transfer from the computer by cable, probably here is a USB cable. But even that is not on.
From my perspective, I would have rated adult product with 2-3 stars - the children's eyes taught me a lesson. An interesting (and probably unintended) side effect: As the Selective dialing of music just about back and forth is possible (! Annoying) and no titles are displayed, the children notice quite quickly the track numbers - for memory certainly not a bad Exercise.
Conclusion: The child is satisfied - What it's ultimately.
