Coby CX789 Digital AM/FM/NOAA Radio with Dual Alarms, silver Review

This is a good deal for it's price- digital tuning with preset buttons- AM/FM/NOAA. There is a problem using the AC power (with supplied AC power cord)- when powered with AC the LED panel fades to almost unreadable!I decided to buy a second unit to see if another would have the same problme: yes!Thus, there is a defect when operating on AC power, so I don't recommend using AC power.However, operating on batteries is ok- no fading of the LED panel. Also, operating on DC adapter also tested and works ok (DC power adapter is not provided- I got one at Radio Shack: AC-TO-DC POWER ADAPTER 1.5-15VDC, 300ma and set it for 4.5 DCV)

Everything else works ok- and this is the style of radio I wanted, and there are no others like this at this price. I now have three units.This has digital tuning with quick change preset buttons and a volume knob on the right side, which is very nice! The LED panel has black letters on a non-lighted background and is hard to read- ignore the bright LED panel you see in the pic-it does not look like that!However there is a light button that lights up for 6 seconds and helps you read it better. Reception is fine for local stations, which provide good clear speaker sound, with no noise.

It's fine if you are looking for a very inexpensive digital radio, (I found nothing cheaper in this style) but you may have the AC power problem I have, and you will have to get the Radio Shack DC power adapter (4.5v, 300ma), or just use 3 D-size batteries.

UPDATE 4/7/09:Robert Lambert discovered the solution to using the AC power cord.There is an AC switch inside the battery compartment that is set on 220v when I received all three of my radios. Simply set the switch on 110v (for USA) and presto!AC power cord works fine!No need to purchase DC adapter!This power switch is not described in the instructions and I even called Coby support about my problem and they didn't mention the switch!Thankyou Robert for the info!I can't change rating, if I could I now rate this radio 4.5 stars!

CD Player with dual Alarm Clock Review

I bought this radio as a Christmas present for an office mate. I wanted something small and not too expensive since in an office building things can disapear. The reception in the building is ususaly not so good and that was a concern.Three months later I am happy to report that this one works fine.We have had no problems with the radio or the CD player.

Coby CRA58BLK Digital AM/FM Alarm/Clock Radio, Black Review

The title says it.

You won't be able to receive many stations you can get on most radios. The tuner dial is very inaccurate. Stations overrun each other. You can hardly see the time in daylight because it is so dim. You can't see the tuner dot unless bright light is shining at it.

Let's see... could this item be worse? No, and it will cost you way too much to return it. Take the money and just burn it instead of buying this clock radio.

Coby CRA54BLK Digital AM/FM Alarm/Clock Radio, Black Review

I purchased this for taking to India - the specifications indicate that it works in 240V as well 110V. It works alright.. but the time keeps falling behind by 5 minutes every day.

Coby CRA108 Digital AM/FM Jumbo Alarm/Clock Radio, Black Review

I have had this clock for about a month now and I love it. The numbers are large and bright, perfect for checking the time across the room at 3 am. The battery back-up works great on my clock, I have unplugged and moved it serval times without a single reset. The controls are pretty easy to navigate; the radio has great reception with the external antenna, the tuning is not real precise but at this price point what can you expect. I would recommend this clock.
