Grundig Ovation CDS 8000

I have to go up the cudgels for the (portable radio) Grundig here. Thought it would buy for the kitchen and down to the somewhat complicated operation getting what I wanted.
1. Good sound, vorausgestzt all tone controls and sound programs to 0 (no, not high-end or party system) can nevertheless quite loud, then up to a certain limit, even clean the sound.
2. Great design. (Hopefully the CD tray holds long)
3. Good radio reception (with included wire antenna)
4. All this, thanks to Amazon for half the RRP.
One star I have to because of the operation and for this EIA. Pull poor remote control.
