Weighs a bit, but excellent portability

Overall, this is a great unit.

It does however have it's flaws. With the larger IPods the cradle can be sometimes difficult to close, but seems related to the 'catch' mechanism rather than an overall design defect.

Sound quality is good, however, don't expect earth-shattering bass. The speakers are well done, although not as big as you'd like. Overall volume is great, letting you really use it as a decent boom-box.

Controls are good, although a bit unresponsive. It comes with a good remote and a slot for storage of it when transporting. The buttons are of the 'bubble' design, which is great for environmental concerns, but can occasionally be hard to press if you don't use a consistent pressure.

The 6-D Cell batteries can make this unit quite heavy, however, it seems justified considering it not only plays the unit, but is also quite capable of fully recharging the IPOD at the same time.

Features include the ability to display photos from an IPOD on a TV, in addition to an auxillary input to use it with other sound devices too.

Overall this is an excellent, albeit heavy and expensive unit, but as of yet, unmatched for features, flexibility, and quality.
