I bought the Lifetime Subscription from Sirius and have used it for several years now. The ONLY good thing about Sirius is the programming. The equipment is junk (especially this boombox....which just dies without warning). It is so frustrating having to constantly deal with Sirius' Customer Dis-Service all the time trying to get your equipment fixed. Between the enormous wait times to actually get to speak to someone, the CSRs who are completely unsympathetic to how awful the product is, and the time aggravation of boxing, shipping, and tracking your returns (and you better track them because they will lose it and then tell you that they know nothing about it) you will become disgusted too.
Anyone who raves about the products from Sirius are "newbies" who just got the service or item. I was one of them once. They will change their minds in due course. Once their item breaks (and it absolutely will break within a year..... maybe 18 months), and their replacement breaks, and then that replacement breaks, and then the newer model (upgrade?) breaks......... they will realize the pain of us long-standing customers. Sirius/XM is intentionally seeking to destroy itself with garbage product and with garbage service. They have no one but themselves to blame. I'm on my 3rd boombox and it's shot after 6 months. I'm on my 4th Sportster Replay unit in 5 years.
So commit yourself with care. Get as good a deal as you can because the operational life of all this junk is short.

Like it
Excellent product, use it every day as long as it's plugged in. Took it camping, quickly drained brand new batteries after 6-8 hours of use. Would recommend.

As mentioned in other reviews the power cord (two part) is silly and awkward. Sirius reception is pretty good in the Boston area but sometimes it can be tough to get a signal indoors. The long cord on the antenna can remedy this although it is a pain to have it running across the room to a window. The sound is GREAT for a little boombox. It sounds as good as Sirius ever does.

Dad loves it
This is an outdated model boombox for a sirius radio. I bought it a year ago for my dad. The battery life is not very good, and the sound quality is meh at best, but it does exactly what it needs to do, which is provide a way to listen to his old sirius radio from his car in his garage while he works, or occasionally at work in the lumber yard. Although the product in my opinion is meh, is does what he wants it to do without fail, so no complaints.

As of this writing I've only had this boombox one day but I've spent several hours listening to it. I'm shocked at the problems other people have had, although I do agree with them on some things. Firstly, the unit is a bit bass-heavy and has nothing with which to control this. That's why I docked it a star; a simple 'tone' knob that reduces the bass would have been welcome. I don't think it's TOO bass-heavy, but I am glad it's not any more bassy than that, let's say. Hip-hop fans might actually find it has too little bass... which helps me make my point about a 'tone' knob. To close the subject, I'd rather it have a bit too much bass than too little. I hate tinny-sounding speakers. My antenna reception has been a bit spotty but I'm very used to that from Sirius. It's aggravating when you leave the antenna in a place where it's working fine, then- 'Acquiring Signal'. Do the satellites move around that much? I am lucky enough to be able to put my antenna outside and I got great reception for over two hours that way. Your results may vary. Overall, the boombox beats the bejeezus out of the home docking kit, which I'll be getting rid of soon. I wish I'd just bought the boombox to begin with. Unless you have a killer home speaker system and you don't mind it being stationary, I'd go with the boombox. It's a lot more versatile and sounds great for its size. It also works with MP3 players, and guess what- you can adjust the bass on them.
