I purchased this as a gift for my teenager and she loves it.I do to.She uses it all the time and it helped to get rid of the need for space for both a CD player and clock radio.Now, If only there was a product to get rid of the rest of the "clutter." lol
Hey. Im 15 and I bought myself an ipod. I love this dock, it's purple, like my ipod color. I like it. It's good for 25 bucks. It has alarm clock, radio, and you can play your ipod. It comes with a remote. I bought mine used off of ipod world, on here. So it's cool. If you want a dock that is cheap, and LOVE the color purple. Buy it then.
The old saying you get what you pay for was never more true. This clock is nothing but a piece of junk. It's loud, often stops for no reason and needs to be shaken to start again, etc. Absolutely useless.
This is so cool! it has the best wake up alarm ever! I love this clock. The only reason I could not give it 5 stars is because even with the manual the controls are hard to figure out, but with practice it is an awesome clock.
I bought this for my mom, who recently lost her sight.She has found this to be extremely helpful.She keeps the remote control in her pocket and just hits the button when she wants to know the time.It clearly gives the date, time and temperature.Highly recommend this for anyone who would have such a need.
I loved the picture of this item...I had just the place to put it in my home where it would look great.It does look great.It just hardly works.The whole thing only weighs a pound or two...this should have clued me in right away when unpacking it.The switches have an imprecise and awful feel and seemvery delicate.The sound quality is very poor (Remember those less than $5 transistor radios?) and the reception is worse.Even the strongest stations in my area only come in with a great deal of fuzzy sound and you can always hear the radio stations near them in the back ground.I haven't bought anything electronic that was this bad in years.Don't be fooled by the good looks...in this case beauty really is only skin deep.
The time on this clock is automatically refreshed daily.I have used the unit in Italy.The time continually alternates between European time and British time (one hour difference).Even if I manually set the time, the refresh feature cannot be disabled.I have experimented with different locations in the house, but I can't resolve the problem.I cannot trust this clock as an alarm clock (I did once, and while the clock was correct when I went to sleep, it had gotten out of kilter by morning).It's a great idea, but it doesn't work.
With 20/20 vision in bright light, it is very difficult to read theswitches that switch between cd and radio. Two switches must be set correctly to switch between radio and cd. If you're only going to use it for one use, radio or cd then it's ok, but if you want both, do this test. Look at the unit in the store, imagine you're in bed in dim light and try to switch between cd and radio modes. If you can do it, buy it.
I bought this clock because my wife commandeered my other back-lit sharp alarm clock, and this was the closest I could come to replacing it. This one is a little noisy, especially when right by your head on a night stand. But not that bad. It arrived in unopened packaging but was broken. It took me all of two minutes to pop off the back, re-align the light bar/snooze bar, and get it working. The benefits of this clock are that it is large enough to easily operate the controls. The back light is really a side light at the 4 o'clock position, but it is adequate for double checking the alarm setting and seeing what time it is. From a sound sleep, you can either hit the snooze bar or disable the alarm without fumbling. It is keeping accurate time. Overall, it is a good value.
My husband and I really enjoyed this clock. Why we don't have it anymore has nothing to do with how it performed. It was a great clock. We liked how the numbers were large. That LED light makes it soothing to look at as well. No bright red, yellow or green lights. Just a nice blue(and there is a dimmer switch on it if it is too bright for you). It's taller than it is long which makes it a nice space saver. We also had quite a few storms last year, and if your power goes out and comes back on later (even after 2 days like what happened to us, the right time WILL show up again) And as an added bonus, the alarm still goes off on time if it is plugged in and the power is out (so long as you put a battery in it of course :D ). About that snooze button. We had no problems with that either. If you set the clock away from where you sleep, so you have to get up to turn it off, then you will actually look to see where the snooze/radio buttons are. Of course you're going to hit another button if you just reach over the bed, eyes half shut, and slap the thing. We had no problem finding the buttons with our eyes wide open. One more compliment has to be that we didn't find the buzzer annoying either. It was actually pleasant compared to every other one we tried out in the store. Go ahead, try them out. You'll see what we mean. It's more of a beep than a BUZZ! Which was really nice. Me personally I have to have the buzzer on. Otherwise I will fall back asleep to the music, and the one thing I can't stand to hear when I first wake up in the morning, is a loud BUZZ sound. Praise God, they made one that BEEPS for a change. Well, take care and God bless you all, and enjoy your alarm clock. (whichever one you choose to buy)
I've had my clock for over a year, and it works perfectly.I love the atomic time setting feature, and the dual alarm is a great convenience.Controls are easy to set, and I needed no instruction manual to figure them out.I'd buy another for my classroom, if only I could find one!Must have been discontinued by manufacturer.I got it at a great price at WalMart, but this is a decent price on Amazon.Problem is, I usually buy Amazon Prime products, so the shipping from this seller is a bit of a shock.
The product has excellent features and is pretty easy to use after reading the directions.
I've read some of the other reviews, and yes, this item has it's limitations.If you are like me, though, you either just want to hear music in the shower or bath or you are trying to be considerate to anyone who can hear you sing.I get good reception from the radio and get many channels.My cds play fine, the mirror doesn't fog and the clock helps me keep track of time.You can't adjust the settings (such as treble and bass), but for crying out loud, it's a CD player/radio for your shower...how good does it have to be?I am thrilled with the performance of this product and would recommend it to anyone that wants a little music in their lives (or more specifically, their showers)!
I've been a fan of the original CC Radio Plus for a few years... but now the latest addition to the family is rising up the ranks.
If you just need an alarm clock to tell the time and get you out of bed get this one. It more than gets the job done. I was looking for a bedside clock, no radio, no projection, no gimmicks, and after a very very long internet search came across this nice little clock. If you're just looking for a basic alarm clock for a low price this is the one to get! It has more bells and whistles than a regular clock, 9 minute snooze (of course it MUST have the SNOOZE feature), automatic reset/off alarm button, on/off alarm button, and loud/soft alarm noise button. This really will look attractive on your bedside/living room end table/kitchen counter and it comes in different colors too. The black looks very attractive on my bedside table. It has good heft/weight to it too, giving it a feeling of a quality made product that will last for years. The brightness of the display is perfect, not too dim, not too bright. I was looking at analogue clocks but this one is a beauty compared to the two previous analogue clocks I had and has a PM light indicator, Alarm On indicator, and a low back up battery indicator besides. The alarm will go off for two hours before automatically turning off (leave home/apt. and forget to turn it off), and the snooze feature will go off every 9 minutes as long as you keep pressing it, and the feature will automatically turn itself off after 2 hours (do you really need more than that, reset the alarm). It is nice and compact so it doesn't take up too much room. Besides this clock is electric so batteries are no longer a concern. This is a nice quality, attractive product that seems like it will last a very long time (much better quality than my Timex battery powered analogue clock, much better looking, and it's both heavier and smaller at the same time). Other reviews state the snooze button is located too close to the alarm off button (may accidently press it instead), but I have had absolutely no problem distinguishing between the two buttons, especially given their size, and it isn't even a concern to me. I should also include that I thought analogue was the way to go, but the digital display on this is of high quality, is easy on the eyes at night, and having to reach over to press a button to see the time in the dark is no longer an issue. So get this clock it's a no-brainer with more than enough features to ensure this is the alarm clock you will be glad you purchased. I think it's worth more than I paid for it!
I really love waking up to the music of my choice! Contrary to another reveiw here, you CAN program this to play any track first or randomly pick one for you. It sounds great for its size, fits easily on the nightstand without overcrowding. Working flawlessly since purchase (4months). Glad I took a chance, as I was not familiar with any jWin products. Control labeling should be more clear; I need to turn on a bright light to change settings but I think its to not distract from the handsome look. Since being laid-off a few weeks ago, Im still letting this clock wake me (a little later). I just love waking to a favorite artist!Bob
This thing has constant hum coming from the speakers, even when connected to an iPod nano. At high volume its poor quality shows well, with plenty of distortion and clipping. Clock and alarm are hard to setup. It doesn't control your iPod sound, which is annoying because you have to press the buttoms in the ipod in a incovenient position when docked.
In a small kitchen you can run out of counter space very quickly, so under the counter works great.I bought it and have no regrets.It works well, and is easy to use, especially with a remote.I love it.Bt I had to have someone else install it ... I don't do too well with drilling holes.It keeps me company in the kitchen, which is where I hang out.Love it.The color was perfect.Red is hard to find.
Regardless where did you place it on, it's not easy to read.The LCD screen is highly reflective.The base makes it impossible to be mounted or glued to an upright surface.The only valuable reading, the temperature and the humidity numbers are crunched to the bottom which makes it even harder to read.
This clock is average in almost every way.It has an average alarm, an average radio, and average user controls.The only problem I have with it is that I was hoping for a much brighter display, and sadly this one is medium-to-dim on the brightness scale.If, however, you're looking for a basic and reliable clock with standard features, this is your guy.I suspect one could get a similar product for one or two dollars cheaper, but I recommend this one in any case.It's a solid, average clock.
I absolutely love this clock. how ever there are some weak points in the design. the plastic used for the ear ear stalks is very brittle. when mine came it was broken off. however a little super glue remedied this issue. other that that, it is terrific. the clock has a photo sensor so when you turn off the lights, the Dalek lights up. (only for about 10 seconds max). but it makes me happy every time i get ready for bed and it comes to life.
I bought this radio despite reviews complaining of its reliability.It worked right out of the box and offers, for the price, far more presettable stations than its nearest competitor, a remote and an ethernet connection in addition to its wireless feature. It is also one of the smallest of the table top sets and will sit neatly in a little corner without drawing attention to itself - an appealing feature to those listeners for whom appearance places a far second to content. I found its setup well thought out and mostly intuitive.The front panel offers only three pre-sets so do not lose the remote which replicates all radio controls and has a 100 pre-set capacity.The loudspeaker offers better than average fidelity of table top models. 
This was not a bad clock for the first few weeks after I purchased it. The radio controlled atomic time feature is actually kind of cool and the clock was quite accurate. However, it is extremely difficult to see the display unless you are at exactly the correct angle. And then after a month or so the display started to disappear bit by bit. One day the alarm did not go off and I wound up running very late to work. Now after what I consider to be an exceptionally short period of time the display has completely disappeared. Nothing. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing any clocks from Sharp in the future based upon my experience with this one.
Ok, my intial take on this was nice looking, dual alarms, great deal.I was wrong!Don't be misled, this may have dual alarms but one is for the radio and the second alarm is a buzzer.Why would Timex possibly create an alarm clock where both alarms couldn't be radio alarms?I hate waking up to that annoying buzzer sound but now between my wife and I, one of us has to.Second, the viewing angle is poor, it's hard to see the minute digit if the clock is facing slightly away from you.The screen is recessed into the clock so the side of the screen blocks your view of the time.Third, the date is so large on the screen it is almost confusing because it's right up agains the time.I know that's being picky, but figured I'd mention it.
I received this radio five days ago.I needed a decent clock radio that played cds, had a repeat button, and was unobtrusive enough to be on the nightstand.When the radio showed up there were no instructions in the box, which I figured was okay since it's just a clock radio.After I got it plugged in and the time set, I tried to play a cd.The power button wouldn't turn it on.With no instructions I felt stupid not being able to figure it out.I left it plugged in over night and the alarm worked fine on the morning.The next night I tried the power button again and was able to play a cd all night to help me sleep.The cd player makes a whirring noise that was distracting.Since my sleep cds are mostly white noise the extra noise was annoying.I think if it was music it might not have been so noticeable.The next night I was all set to play a cd at bedtime and, again, no power.That was Thursday night and it's now Sunday and, with the exception of the clock and alarm, there hasn't been power since the second night.I don't hear any short so I think it's just a bad machine, maybe too cheap.I'm returning it tomorrow.
This alarm clock seems to have been designed for elderly people who have difficulty seeing and hearing.First, the the clock is very large.I mean, it's greater than a foot long; you will have no trouble seeing what time it is from the other room (note to insomniacs: glow from eerie green numbers = more time staring at ceiling).Second, there are only two options for a wake up call: (1) the loudest buzzer ever constructed by humans; or (2) a radio that, admittedly, I have not tried (who uses that option anyway?).This clock is a real find for people losing their senses of sight and hearing, but for those of you with undiminished eyes and ears, you might want another clock in the interest of staying that way.
This clock works well as a battery operated alarm clock.However, Casio really could have thought through the "travel" part better.Although it's light enough, it's too large for a travel clock.And there's no cover for the controls, so my first set of batteries died when something in my bag pressed against the snooze/light button for the whole flight.If you're looking for a battery operated alarm for your nightstand, this is a decent clock.If you really want a travel alarm, look elsewhere (or at least pack the batteries separately).
A no-frills clock-radio which works fine. I wish they had included a wire antenna like the Sony ones for better reception. But for the price I paid, no complaints!!
This item worked real well and then all of a sudden the buttons would not work. I could not change the time, set the alarm, or even turn on the CD player or radio. The alarm still worked, but I had to set it to get up at the time previously set because it would not change. It was not just one button it was all of them. Nothing worked. It was like they had a timer and shut down all of a sudden. It happened only a week after the 90 day warrranty period was over.
Should learn to stay away from items made in China. Arrived broken. Went straight to the trash. Low Amazon cost made this less painful.
The problems I have with this unit are numerous:
I bought this to keep in my bathroom.I needed a battery operated clock and a radio is a plus when getting ready for work in the morning.My electrical outlets are full of toothbrush and hairdryer and flatiron.
I've owned the set of Proton radio and slave speaker.The sound is incredible.I have placed them in my bookshelf headboard where they are a perfect fit of form and function.All the controls are extremely workable and well-thought out.But even better is the fact that you can set it and forget it.I awaken to my favorite station, with the music ramping slowly up.I got to sleep using the sleep timer.Depending on which alarm you set, 1 or 2, the sound comes out of different speakers.Here in Texas we get lots of bad storms yet I've rarely had to reprogram my Proton; it holds the settings when the power's off.I highly recommend this unit.
This product was/is kind of misrepresented, and not only on this website. It is not a true iHome.It would not take my niece's iPod, and it is not a docking station.We purchased from computer brain, explained the situation, and they gave us our purchase price and shipping back.We thought this was a class act and would purchase from them again if they were to sell a product we are interested in.
I love this stereo/alarm clock. It fits ANY iPod which is nice if i decide to get a new one. IT is easy to program and use and its light weight. The LCD is nice and bright so I can see the time in the middle of the night and the sound quality is really good. The price is very good for all the features like the radio,alarm clock,charging, and stereo functions. Other items like this are around $100, definitely a good buy, I got mine for about $30.
You would not believe how hard it is to find a decent alarm clock. All I wanted was a alarm clock that shut off automatically on the weekend but the Emerson Research smart set was the only 2\5\7 day setting alarm clock I liked. After buying two of those and having issues with both, one the radio would lose the station over time and not wake you up, two, a brand new one having a bad LED and poor radio reception. Emerson needs to check their quality and then maybe they will have a great product. Yes this Sony has a hard to read display because of the viewing angle but if you have a small table next to the bed it works just fine. The radio pulls in every station and sounds good and loud for the size of the device. The alarms are really easy to set all you do is turn the knob to the desired time. Plus all you have to do is hit one button to shut the alarms off for the weekend or have two new sets of alarms. This thing gives you up to four alarms. If it had a better display I would give it 5 stars.
This clock radio is OUTSTANDING!!! (and it looks great). The time accuracy (atomic clock) is beyond compare.The AM/FM PLL synthesized radio is static free and has excellent sound. Not stereo, but still pleasing!The unit is feature-laden. I love the "Humane Waking System" which gradually ramps up the sound for both alert/radio alarms so as not to jolt you out of bed.I'm a very heavy sleeper, and the adjustable volume for both alarms makes it plenty loud to get up.The independence of both alarms makes this extremely convenient for husband/wife and weekday/weekend settings. Another nice feature is the "nap" function.Set it and the alarm goes off from 10 minutes to 2 hours later, without having to touch the normal alarms.The background light display is a pleasing pastel blue, which changes to orange leting you know that the alarm is serious! The adjustability of the display is excellent, including a dimmer at the push of a button, and completely off if you so desire. I could go on and on about the features of this unit.However, here is where the "but" comes in...the instruction manual is not the most clearly written. The most serious problem, in my opinion, was not being able to pick up the atomic signal.Sure the instruction manual warns you that it might take up to 48 hours to receive the signal.It also warns you that the unit might need to be repositioned to receive the signal.I was frustrated after not getting the signal for a couple of days.Then I noticed that the back of the radio has a circular slot for the rectangular "block-shaped" atomic signal antenna.Once I put the antenna in the slot, the signal was received, and has been maintained ever since. This was NOTstated in the instruction manual. Another minor criticism is there are 14 (7 AM and 7FM) presets, not 21 as stated in the manual.14 is more than enough for me.The alarm instructions took some patience to learn. These criticisms of the instruction manual should in no way detract from the features and quality of the product, both of which are excellent.Buy this and you will be extremely happy.Just be patient and fiddle around with it.Nothing beats trial and error when it comes to high-tech gadgets.
I recently purchased this product for use with my iPhone 3GS. The sound quality is superb, rivaling that of Bose systems. The alarm clock feature works brilliantly and the remote is the icing on the cake. I really enjoy the touch-sensor 360 Snooze Bar, an intuitive design that keeps you from smacking the dock when you want to snooze. There is even a plug-in slot on the back for a sub woofer upgrade, just in case the bass isn't enough for you. Oh, and did I mention? The display automatically dims according to the lighting in your room, and you can adjust the overall brightness to suit your liking in the dark. Genius! If you want a nice dock for your iPod/iPhone with second-to-none sound quality, the functionality of an alarm clock, and state-of-the-art features, then I strongly recommend this product!
I recieved this weather station for my birthday, and overall impressed with the looks, accuracy, and size of display. I have 5 other weather stations to compare readings, and this weather station is dead accurite. Even fallows the local weather station readings to the nearest millibar. It is hard to figure out the P.M.C.E time zones since the switch is integrated in the - button, but once you figure it out its easy. The transmitter workes better that described. Seems to have a stronger range than specified. I have the sensor located at the opposite side of the house through 6 walls, and signals are still good. I am very pleased.
We purchased this for a xmas present. It was broken when we opened it up. Once a battery was put in it just blinked you could not set the clock or alarm.
this thing works very good.... there is no way to sleep threw this. this wakes you up as soon as it goes off.....
I surprised my 10 year old son for his birthday in November. He is obsessed with Bakugan and I thought this was a great way to buy something a little different. Before I ordered it I hadn't seen it in the stores near us yet. He felt like he has something unique to add to his collection. A happy kid is a happy mom
It won't play even BRAND NEW mint condition CDs (they just skip). And, to my horror, when you take the CDs out there are big circular scratches around them. I lost two good CDs thanks to this piece of garbage. This "CD Clock Radio" is the worst purchase I have ever made. AVOID!
If you're sick and tired of just hearing beeping or buzzing alarm clocks, this is a good choice.However, there are only 7 preset "alarms" which are short sarcastic or funny speeches that are meant to wake you up ... so don't expect to be constantly surprised by what you're hearing.After a while the novelty will wear off.It did on mine.I still keep it though, because at least it doesn't beep or buzz at me.
We bought this for our 5 yr old when he started school. Everytime ANY of the cones are moved it messes one of the settings. This alarm clock is cute, but not worth the hassles of having to reset the time and alarm every day.We kept it just for the radio, otherwise it would be in the trash.
My daughters (5 and 7) receieved this alarm clock for Christmas. It is easy for them to turn off in the morning. The display is nice and bright. They love to push the demo button which goes through the 5 different Mater sayings. My only complaint is that it would be hard for a little one to set by themselves, since the buttons are a bit hard to push and they are too far apart for little hands. But sometimes you don't want your kids to be able to set their alarm for 3am! Compared to the other Cars alarm clocks on the market, I'd say this one is the best.
I didn't listen to the complaints from the other reviewers, and I purchased this clock. Big mistake. Batteries are very difficult to put into the unit and they have to be jammed in to close the back.The plastic lip that is supposed to support the clock in the open position broke off, so I can't use the clock in the open position as it is supposed to do.Amazon should consider not offering this item any more.I purchased this unit over another only because I have the Prime shipping option.
I bought this clock to replace my "Baby Ben" that I had for thirteen years. When I received it, it looked nice and I liked the second hand but it was difficult to make out the functions on the back. The worst was the clock wind up. It turned counterclockwise. I kept scraping my thumb trying to wind it. I DO NOT recommend!!
I received this as gift.It is perfect for me--almost--but I cannot figure out how to set it---Honest, I have a college degree and have had two other people try.Mine only has 5 buttons: Demo set snooze up and mode. The demo sounds like an airplane taking off--seems loud enough to wake me.It has a different alarm for different days feature that I think is terrific. I have successfully set the alarm for several days, and I managed the date, but I cannnot, for the life of me, set the time. I can get the right # but it just keeps flashing. There were NO instructional papers in or on the box! I guess it is still effective. I am lying awake nights trying to figure this out, so I don't need an alarm anymore. PS--if anyone else can help me please explain in a review below.
I wouldn't waste your money on buying this.. mine broke after two weeks in a dry room tempature place. Meaning, it wasn't because I got water in it because its a "shower" radio.. I never tested that out but if I did it would of probably broke even sooner. I'm very disappointed :(
