As Americans we all know where this is made and how bad they are at making ANYTHING worth buying. Like our sneakers being made so cheaply. and never in our sizes.  or widths. BUT... this little smuck uses up battery life like nothing you have ever seen. It has had a few problems where it would not play the entire list of songs and I had to erase everything and reprogram it. It does not give us the sound or the quality it would had Germans or American workers had made it. It's ok.. but not quality.
