The CD player broke after 2 months of mild use. I called Emerson customer service, and the representative was exceptionally rude and frankly did not care that their product was so poorly manafactured. I had the option of paying $18 shipping ($9 each way) to fix this horrible $30 item under the warranty. I might as well purchase a different product - at least then I won't be stuck with a piece of junk from Emerson.
