Love mine and still cranking

 

I've had mine for over 3 years now with no issues what so ever. I've used the FM Transmitter to play through my home stereo and it worked perfectly. The Xact portable pod I purchased to go with it also works very well. I am replacing it now only...

Small, durable, easy to use

I really dont have any

Don't buy this brand! Buy Sirius!

 

I originally wanted the Sirius brand receiver but instead an Xact brand was purchased for me as a gift. I bought the large and heavy boombox mate for use between home and work. Within four months the unit began to flash on and off, beeping while...

Good for at least a few months

Very expensive purchase for such a short lived product

Has been a very sturdy unit for me

 

Maybe I've been extremely lucky, but I've had my XTR1 since May 2005, have used it every day, and I've never had a problem with the unit.

large readout, sturdy

only 10 s-seek slots

Bang, Bang...........

 

My unit started the rebooting bit. I have had mine for 1 1/2 years and wasn't going to bother with returning it, so....I just took the receiver out of the boom box and banged it real hard against a metal cabinet and put it back in, turned it on and it...

Good sound. May try XM next year

Doesn't work correctly

Consumer review (mysears.com)

decent, but cheap radio

 

I got this receiver as a Christmas present last year. It works pretty good, but it seems to run on the hot side after a while. You can s-seek a few songs, but good luck hearing the beeps when the song comes on.It's a good radio to start out with if...

NOT A QUALITY PRODUCT

 

Went kapoot right after warranty was up. Bought a replacement directly from XACT, display stopped working on this one after one week. They would not ship replacement. Not a product that is built to last, unfortunately we purchased boom box & vehicle...

None

Poor quality product

Run...don't walk...

 

...away from this receiver. I got one for Father's Day along with the CD boombox. Worked fine but as others have said, it ran a little hot. No big deal. I installed a car kit in each of 2 cars to move it back and forth.

Nice size, great portability with car kits, easy to manage remote control

Runs hot, dies young

My luck better than most

 

My XTR1 died yesterday after 13 months of daily use. I was informed by Xact customer service that they will not honor my warranty.I can send my unit back with $99.95 and they will send one back with a one year warranty. I am sitting

The walkman type power pod always worked well. It was great on vacation

The experiences of others (Symptoms when it died) is very discouraging

don't buy this

 

Only electronic product I've ever purchased that stopped working after just a couple months of regular use. Runs very, very hot! When I turn it on, it just reboots over and over again. Customer service said to return to them, but from what I'm hearing...

Sirius is a great product

this radio doesn't work

Consumer review (shopping.com)

solid and slightly flawed sirius radio

 

I have no idea what the other two reviews are all about. Perhaps they ran into a bad streak of luck? I've had my little stream jockey for over 3 months and no problems.

Small, backlit, FM transmitter, can be portable

Hard to tune, buttons flat
