Aiwa LCX 60

Advantages: Nice easy to set up compact system
Disadvantages: Difficult to programme

...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... Read review

...INTRODUCTION - THE PURCHASE A few years ago now I had finally decided to make the step from cassettes to CDs. I had already bought a couple of CDs and played them in my computer, but it was now time to look for a HiFi for use in my bedroom. As with the Aiwa Walkman you may have read one of recent ops about, I had a look in Argos for a company that I trusted. I had bought Aiwa products before and I thought (and still do) that they are a very reliable company with good quality products., so when I saw this HiFi for £100 (it is cheaper now - read on for the current price), I immediately read about its features and ten minutes later it was in the boot of the car on the way home. The unit plays CDs, cassettes and the radio, as well as having several other useful features. The Aiwa LCX-150 was very easy to set up even for me, and since I... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Weak sound, poor quality, terrible graphics

...I purchased this unit through QXL. It came as a package coupled with an Aiwa ADC - M60YZ 6 disc changer. ( The multi changer broke down and had to be returned twice ). The radio unit has been extremely disappointing, reception is fair but don't expect it to hold a signal in weak reception areas. Performance is weak, unable to handle anything stronger than light pop. The CD unit is 'buzzy' and annoying. The display is flahsy and cluttered, even distracting at times. It has recently begun to cut out during operation and needs to be reset to work again. I've recently replaced the unit with a Sony CDX L550 and already a marked contrast in performance can be noticed. In short, poor performance, trashy looks. Avoid... Read review
