Equity 31015 Digital LCD Alarm Clock with Blue Display Review

Equity 31015 Digital LCD Alarm Clock with Blue DisplayI love the look and size of this clock.The display is large enough and the alarm is loud.It is very basic and easy to use.The only problem is that the clock is not what the description says it is.The back light only comes on when you push the "snooze/light" button and the light is not very bright.I need a clock with the light always on as I wake up at night and want to know the time.This would be difficult for me with this clock because my clock is not at my bedside (so that I have to get out of bed to turn off the alarm in the am).Also, it is only battery powered.You can use one AA or a 9 volt, but there is no way to plug it into the wall.I was fine with this because I wanted a battery-powered clock but, as I mentioned, the description was misleading. I will be returning the clock because of the light issue.

Sony ICF-C212 FM/AM Clock Radio with Full Power Back-up (Black) Review

Sony ICF-C212 FM/AM Clock Radio with Full Power Back-upWhat can I say, it's an alarm clock, it does what it's supposed to do.Can't expect too much from the radio.My only rant is the battery. BATTERY BATTERY BATTERY!This will not accept your regular 9V Batteries because it requires a specific type ( IEC code 6F22 to be exact).The specification is listed in the manual and on the battery lid.This can only be a problem if you so desire battery backup power.These batteries are Heavy Duty Industrial type and will set you back at least $5 per versus the buck something of the regular 9v batteries.Most stores don't even carry these.Googling these yielded returns from the UK and China. Regular 9V Engergizers and Duracells have IEC codes of 6LR61.My sister and I have two of these clock radios and have tried various Battery Brands to no avail.We haven't tried 6F22 or 8F22 (more common), though. Hope this helps.

Timex T105WX Color Changing Alarm Clock (White Gift Box) Review

Timex T105WX Color Changing Alarm ClockThe backlight went out after just 2 days....it no longer lights up on either the face or shell.
Before that I was still not happy with it, anyway. Even when it did work the outside shell light was too bright to sleep next to when set to any color other than red, even with the dimmer set to low.
Also, barely bumping the LCD screen would leave black marks in the display you'd have to try to shake or massage out.
The only good thing about this clock was the idea. But it was very poorly done.

Maverick R-495 Color-Coded LCD Weather Station and AM/FM Stereo Radio with Alarm and Projection Clock Review

Maverick R-495 Color-Coded LCD Weather Station and AM/FM Stereo Radio with Alarm and Projection ClockProjection, clock and radio with color clock changing temperatures all rolled into one. For some reason my daughter really likes it and that is all that counts. She is amused on how the clock changes color with the temperature and projects the time on the ceiling. It is also has atomic adjusted time and a pressure trend with a weather forcast. This is almost like a toy for a child, but adults may not like the flimsy design or the sound. Will have to see how this clock holds up over time.

Hot Wheels Scrrechin™ Projection Alarm Clock Radio - HW805 Review

Hot Wheels Scrrechin™ Projection Alarm Clock Radio - HW805Santa brought this for my son for Christmas.He's 8 and wanted to get himself up for school.We tried a cheap clock, but he lost interest in it because let's face it, at this age...they still look at things as a toy.We decided to get this clock because it looked fun and it is!He obsesses over the thing.It has a volume control, but he likes his LOUD.It talks to them and tells them "Let's get going, time to start the day" and then honks the horn and screeches the tires.If that's too obnoxious for some, no worries...it also has the radio feature as well as the standard alarm sound.You won't be disappointed!

Equity (40010) Insta-Set Alarm Clock Review

Equity Insta-Set Alarm ClockI threw away my money on an Equity Insta-Set alarm clock. "You never have to set it" - this is only true if you would like your alarm clock to tell you the wrong time. I live in Florida. Right now, it is 4:43 PM and we are on Daylight Savings Time. According to my new Equity Insta-Set clock, it is 6:39 AM, for an error of 10 hours and 4 minutes. If you want your clock to show you a time that is 10 hours and 4 minutes off from the real time, you'll love the Equity Insta-Set.

Maybe there is a way to remedy the situation... I can't tell because there is no SET button and the clock didn't come with any instructions.

Worthless.

EZ Wake Digital SunRise Alarm Clock - Sea Green Review

EZ Wake Digital SunRise Alarm Clock - Sea GreenI've had my sunrise clock for about 3 months now and am glad I bought it.I routinely get up at 5:00, and it's always been difficult, especially in winter.I would wake up, glance at the dark, cold room, and turn back over with a moan.Now the clock brightens gradually from 4:30 to full bright at five, and I'm ready to get out of bed.Even if I sleep late on the weekend, my circadian clock knows that the lights come on at 5:00 and its easy to get up Monday morning.

I have one beef with this clock: it has no memory.Whenever there's a power blink, it's necessary not only to set the correct time, but also to re-enter ALL your settings.Flash memory or a battery backup would be a big improvement.

The EZ Wake Digital SunRise Clock is the least expensive, QUALITY, dawn simulator on the market today.

The clock's light slowly begins to glow 30 minutes prior to the time you are to awaken and gradually illuminates until it is time for you to arise, at which time, if you choose, the audible alarm will sound.

Teac HD-1 - Clock radio with iPod cradle Review

Teac HD-1 - Clock radio with iPod cradleI've had this radio for about a month.I purchased it as a replacement for my 25 year-old alarm clock radio, and also to see what HD radio was like.Overall, the workmanship of the radio is fine, and the sound quality is decent, given the size and price.The radio has quite a few features packed in for the money, and from that standpoint, it is a good buy.FM reception is good.AM reception is average.

As I primarily use this as an alarm-clock radio, my review comes from using the radio for that purpose.I don't use the iPod docking function, or use the radio for casual listening.As such, the radio has some short-comings as an alarm-clock radio, and that's why I only gave it three stars. If used the radio primarily for something else, like casual daytime listening or an iPod dock, I could easily see rating it higher.The issues with the alarm clock function are as follows:

1) The display is way too bright for an alarm-clock radio, even on the dimmest setting.Particularly if the radio is sitting on a nightstand next to the bed.There are are three brigthness settings, but very little difference between them. Due to the brightness of the backlight, it is very difficult to glance over and see the time when it is dark if you've been sleeping and have just waken up.Backlit LCD is not the best display technology for an alarm-clock application.

2) When the alarm starts the radio, the time is no longer displayed.You can push a button to display the time, but it reverts back to the radio information.Not exactly convenient if you are laying in bed and need to see what time it is.During the alarm-clock function, a time display is more important than the radio station frequency or other HD information.The radio display function should have a display modes with a large time display that can be permanently selected.Perhaps along the bottom where the HD radio information scrolls by.The Sony radios have this feature.

3) When the radio is used as an alarm, the radio turns off 1 hour after it first goes off.For me, 1 hour is a little short, especially if I hit snooze a couple of times.My old radio used a two hour time period.Ideally, this setting could be adjustable.

4) The snooze is 6 minutes.That's a little short for me.Again, it would be nice if this setting was adjustable.

The last three issues could be fixed with some software changes.The first item would require a hardware change. Maybe I can find some tinted plastic film that could be fitted over the display to tone it down a bit.

Sony ICF-CD855VSIL TV/Weather/FM/AM 4 Band CD Clock Radio Review

Sony ICF-CD855VSIL TV/Weather/FM/AM 4 Band CD Clock RadioBought this for its sleek design, small footprint and CD capability.It was purchased for our babies room so that we could play CDs.We wanted something smaller and better looking than any of the boom boxes and not as expensive as the shelf systems at which we looked.

So your needs may differ if you plan to use this as an alarm clock.

We really like the size and sound quality for something this small.It is very easy to set up without even using the owners manual.The buttons are well placed and have a very solid feel. The unit has a very high quality feel to it as you would expect from Sony and considering the price.

All functions work as described so I won't spend a lot of time on them individually.Reception is excellent in FM mode, AM is a bit weaker. The TV and weather bands are very hit and miss as far as reception and was dissapointed that I could not get better reception from the preselectd weather frequencies as I live in a well populated area that is subject to severe weather.

CD works flawlessly but the size hinders the bass and mid-range a bit.But again, consideing the size of the unit I am more than happy with the sound quality. If sound quality is more important than size you may want to consider the Panasonic RC-CD350.

I have only four complaints about this unit... the wall wart power supply is huge, the LCD backlight is VERY bright, even on its lowest setting of three.This isn't too much of an issue for us as we will use it as a night light in our babies room.More frustrating is the fact that considering how bright the LCD backlight is it is difficult to read the LCD diplay.I couldn't use this if it were for my bedroom alarm clock. And the last is the lack of a battery back up. This is sort of silly in a unit that costs $80.

Bottom line is this is a high quality unit which has a few drawbacks that a unit of this price point shouldn't have.

Pros:
Sleek design (Only Panasonic was close on design)
Relativly small size (considering it plays CDs)
Good sound quality (Panasonic was better but bigger)
Solid feel (What you expect from Sony at this price)

Cons:
Huge wall wart transformer
VERY bright LCD backlight
Poor weather band reception
Difficult to read LCD
No battery back up

jWIN JL350 Digital Alarm Clock Review

jWIN JL350 Digital Alarm ClockjWIN JL350 Digital Alarm Clock

I love the Big Beautiful Blue Display on this Clock Radio.I can easily read it from across the room.I bought it mainly for use as a bedroom clock.As a clock, I would give it 5 stars.

The Radio part is a different story.The controls are very crude, and have a cheap feel to them.Tuning in stations is a pain.The sound quality is like what I would expect from something this size, just okay.For me, this is a radio that I have tuned to a local station, and it will likely stay that way.I don't intend to use the radio much, except maybe as an alarm clock.As a Radio, I would give it 1 to 2 stars.Not too bad if you always keep it on the same station.

If you are looking for a Nice Clock with a Big Time Display, and don't care much about the radio, I would Recommend this item.

Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock Radio Review

Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock RadioMy trusty old Sony alarm clock's radio selectivity was getting on my nerves, and the cheap General Electric model I chose to replace it did not measure up.Fortunately, this new Sony easily surpasses both its older brand-mate as well as the ergonomically-botched offering from GE.Advantages include precise, dial-adjustable display brightness, better radio reception and selectivity, and simple controls for sleepyheads to understand and operate.Audio is clear but undistinguished--about what one would expect from a clock radio.Nevertheless, for such a low price that is forgiveable.

Philips USA AJL308 Clock Radio with 7-Inch TFT LCD Color Display and USB/SD Card Slot Review

Philips USA AJL308 Clock Radio with 7 inch TFT LCD Color Display and USB/SD  Card SlotThere is a lot to love about this product. It's sleek. It's stylish. It's bright, bold and clear. (It can be dimmed!) It's a clock-radio with two independent alarms that also plays audio files (.mp3 and .wma), video (mpeg4 and divx codices) and photo slide shows (.jpg only). It has built-in "relaxation" sounds to help you fall asleep. It has so much going for it! And just when you think it can't get any better...

It doesn't get better. It slips a little. You start thinking to yourself, "If only..." and "Why didn't they just take the next step?" Why isn't there a tiny bit of built-in memory so that I don't need a SD card or USB stick to be attached to change the cute-but-becoming-annoying default photo? Why can't I select an audio file on the SD or USB as my alarm music? Why only three built-in sounds for the "relaxation" music? Why isn't there an AM tuner? Why isn't there a headphone jack? Why can I only display JPEG-format images? For a widescreen 7" LCD picture frame, why is the resolution only 480 x 234? Why isn't there a back-up battery?

This is such a near-perfect little gadget that it's painful to see how close Philips came to making the best device on the market. Yet despite these flaws, it is still so wonderful that it demands four stars. Lucky for Philips, there don't seem to be any viable alternatives with all of the features it does have at this price point... yet.

And regarding the day-of-the-week issue: Philips posted a firmware update on their Web site on September 14, 2007, that fixes this issue. Visit the Philips Web site, type in "AJL308" to find the product page, select the Support link tab (just above and to the right of the product image), and scroll down to the Software section. There is a PDF read-me file and a ZIP file with the actual firmware update. Read the PDF and carefully follow its directions to update the firmware. You'll need a USB drive to transfer the firmware update to your AJL308, and it takes several minutes to complete the update, but once it's done the day of the week should be correct.

EMERSON CD and Digital Stereo Clock Radio With Dual Alarm Review

EMERSON CD and Digital Stereo Clock Radio With Dual AlarmI bought this model from a Walgreen's and after about a month or two, the "Dual Alarms" started working only intermittently.Some mornings they go off, some they don't.

The worst part is that Emerson acknowledges it doesn't work (no doubt because they know these are crap), but will not fix it!In their crass reply to my email, they said, "Please refer to your local phone book under "electronics repair" for an independent service center to repair your Emerson product."

I kept the receipt for a month, then threw it away.Of course not too much later it starts messing up.So I try to get Emerson to repair or replace, and they say without a receipt that they won't repair it.Why do they need a receipt???The serial number proves it is Emerson's piece of junk.Furthermore, there is only a 3 month warranty on this crap anyway - which to me says they're telling you up front that it is garbage and probably going to break soon after you buy it.

Emerson is a bargain basement brand at best.The manager at Walgreen's was nice and replaced it; then he went on to say he had had many, many complaints about this unit.Emerson does not stand behind it's products, does not give good customer service and knows it is selling crap!

DON'T BUY EMERSON PRODUCTS!You have been warned.Good customer service is the key to customer retention.Of course a product that works doesn't hurt either.

Regards,
Someone who will never buy or recommend anything Emerson again.

Atomic Travel Alarm Clock Review

Atomic Travel Alarm ClockI bought this clock to replace a Digiview RC61ELW which I left in a hotel room. The Digiview was not perfect but it was much better than this clock. The Timex is appropriately small and does capture the time signal in an inside room. What I don't like: 1) a display with character spacing and font that is hard to read, 2) lack of a seconds display, 3) button batteries rather than AAA, and 4) the large circular button pad that is only used for setup. Another disadvantage is that there is no way to defeat the time signal lock when out of the US. This is not a clock for international travel.

Westclox Banshee Digital Alarm Clock Review

Westclox Banshee Digital Alarm ClockThis alarm clock has several features that I really like, but unfortunately it's also got one big drawback that drags its overall value down considerably: it doesn't always go off. This has only happened three times in the year that I've been using it, but that's three times that I've been late for, or entirely missed, important appointments. The alarm will be properly set (each time I've checked afterward to make sure I hadn't made an AM/PM mistake or anything), but then not make a sound at the appointed time. And it will STILL be set and turned on when I finally awake, so I know it isn't a matter of me accidentally turning it off in my sleep. It's also not just an issue with this one particular clock, as I own two of the exact same model, and the other has done the same thing.
However, there are things I like about the clock, if only it would just do what it's principally intended to do. I'll just offer a brief rundown on positive and negative features...
POSITIVES:
+ When it does go off, it's plenty loud, and never fails to wake me up (the product name "Banshee" is quite appropriate - in fact, this could be a negative aspect if you prefer a less shrill alarm). There are two volume settings available - "loud" and "soft" - and the softer setting is all I've ever had to use.
+ The numbers are large and very easy to read, even from across the room.
+ The buttons are also sufficiently large that setting the alarm/time is easy, even in the dark.
+ This clock is cordless (the product description here says it runs on three AAA batteries, though mine, which is exactly the same by all other appearances, requires one AAA and one 9-volt battery) so it can be placed anywhere, or be taken along on trips, without having to worry about a place to plug it in.
+ I also happen to like the appearance of this clock. It's very simple and unobtrusive.
NEGATIVES:
- First and foremost is the fact that it occasionally fails to go off, as I mentioned at the beginning of this review.
- The snooze function only gives you an additional 4 minutes, which hardly seems worth it. I myself tend to like a clock with a snooze time of between 8 and 10 minutes. But this is largely a matter of personal preference.
- The display is not constantly backlit, and you must hold down the snooze button if you wish to have a light by which to read the clock in the dark. This can be irritating, especially if you're not entirely sure just where your alarm clock IS as the moment. On the other hand, however, this feature may be beneficial to those who require absolute darkness in order to sleep.

Timex TX6490 Wireless Thermometer with Alarm Clock Review

Timex TX6490 Wireless Thermometer with Alarm ClockI bought this to use as an alarm clock with the added feature of a thermometer but there is NO alarm clock. Additionally, when I put the batteries in both units, they sat side by side and gave me two different temperature readings. It wasn't off by much but it should still have given me the same reading.
10/21/09 Update: The outdoor thermometer stopped working about 1 week ago. The outdoor temp is stuck at 50.0 F and new batteries and bringing it indoor did nothing. I feel so ripped off. I wish I can give this product zero stars.

Equity 30037 Jumbo 1.8-Inch LED Alarm Clock Review

Equity 30037 Jumbo 1.8 inch LED Alarm ClockThe Equity 30037 1.8" LED clock is a good value, and works well.However it is advertised on their website as having a "display dimmer", which it does not seem to have, and they have not answered my emails on this subject.It is extremely bright, so is OK in the daytime, but is overly bright at night.I had to open it (4 outer screws and 4 inner periphery screws) and insert a neutral density filter inside the bezel to decrease the brightness.The 30037 is a clever design that uses miniature LEDs to reflect light into the display segment bars, which provides adequate but not total uniformity in the segment light distribution.The unit requires 1 AA battery if you desire backup power.

iHome Spacesaver Dual Alarm Clock Radio for iPod - Pink (IH12P) Review

iHome Spacesaver Dual Alarm Clock Radio for iPod - Pink (IH12P)I bought this for my 14-year-old daughter about a month ago.She had an iHome that bit the dust after a lot of use and was wanting to replace it. I took a chance and hit the jackpot !

It's small size makes it very cute and the shocking hot pink color was a hit.Basically, it looks so cute she didn't care that much how it sounded.The small size makes it ideal for her bedside table and she can operate all the controls from bed.It's easy to operate and has all the features she and I were looking for.In particular, we like the sleep feature. She can put her iPod in, set the sleep timer for 90 minutes and it takes care of itself.Otherwise, the music would go on all night !

The sound isn't fabulous, but it's consistant with the price point and a decent value.

Overall, a very good purchase !

Equity Skyscan 40138 Backlit Display Atomic Alarm Clock Review

Equity Skyscan 40138 Backlit Display  Atomic Alarm ClockThis is a very nice looking clock and functions very well as stated in the product discription, except for me I CAN'T SEE IT AT NIGHT OR ANY OTHER TIME.The light is almost non existant, so forget trying to see it at night, which is why I bought it in the first place.The design is such that a bedside lamp doesn't shine light on it.The only way I can actually see what time it is, is to physically pick up the clock and look at it straight onI wish someone would manufacture a bedside clock that would have the day, date, month, indoor temp, and stay lit all night without pushing a button. THIS, IS NOT THAT CLOCK.
