Firstly it looks really cool! Like most of Aiwa's Hi-Fi's it's silver, but it doesn't look tacky.

This isn't the most up to date compact Hi-Fi system, but if you manage to find a second hand one at a decent price (maybe £50/60) it's certainly worth it.
Firstly it looks really cool! Like most of Aiwa's Hi-Fi's it's silver, but it doesn't look tacky.
It has your standard single tape deck and CD player, both of which work fine, although the tape deck is a bit old fashioned and cannot be operated by the remote. The CD player has a flip lid, not one of those ones that you press a button and it shoots out. This is fine, as long as you don't mind not having the hi-tech looking one!
This hi-fi also has three band radio. The only problem I've had with it is that it is not the easiest Hi-Fi to programme radio stations into. It's difficult to re-order stations once you've already programmed them in, or delete ones later on. This means that if you want to know which stationed is programmed in where you have to plan ahead of time. Also you have to skip through every station to get to the one you want, but not if you're using the remote!
The remote itself is fine. It's twice as long as it needs to be, but I like that as it gives you something to hold onto. Some of the buttons are also a bit small, but they are well set out.
If you can find one of these in good condition, buy it!
