I've had the Fisher SLIM-1500 for almost a year now, the first thing that was wrong was that some cds would skip, seemed to be caused by the vibration it makes when spinning. I remedied this by shaving some of the plastic off from the top spinner (I wouldn't recommend doing it for yourself, could render your CD player useless). I thought the stereo would look professional in my office, but without the base and hung from the wall, it looks ugly. The sound quality is quite poor as well, and it is hard to position the antenna to recieve stations that I was previously able to listen to with a different stereo and the same type of antenna (wire). I see that this item wasn't available at the time this review was written, maybe Fisher got the idea and stopped production, hopefully improving it. I like the looks, but it doesn't perform as well as I would hope for the money. I'd stay away from this one.
