SharpTech SPC303 LCD Travel Alarm Clock with Folding Metal Case (Champagne) Review

I bought this alarm clock today (April 7, 2007) at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $10.I wish I had seen the reviews first.I bought it because of the product name, small size and variety of options.Unfortunately, I realized it wasn't a great buy when I brought it home...and spent a few hours trying to keep the battery in a certain position so the clock would stay on.The connections appear to be very sensitive and the battery doesn't stay in place.
The clock light is pointless.It's supposed to help you see the time in the dark, but unless you have the clock at a certain angle everything will appear blurry.Actually, the screen is blurry in most positionseven with the light off.
As for the alarm, it's pretty quiet.If you're a sound sleeper or live in a noisy environment, this is not the clock for you.You'll only hear the alarm if you sleep with it under your ear.
A final note on this product: The clock has been on for almost an hour without any problems...but only with the battery cover slightly open.If I close the cover all the way, the clock shuts off.If you want an alarm clock that will last awhile, I suggest buying something else.You get less than you pay for with this model.

RCA RP5415 Clock Radio with Digital/Analog Display and Line-in for MP3 Players Review

I had the same issue as one of the other reviewers where my volume knob did not work... so I returned to Amazon and ordered from another vendor believing Amazon received a bad lot.I was correct, second clock worked perfectly.

This is a "Great" little clock radio... easy to use and to set alarms.Separate dial knobs in the rear make setting the time and two alarms a breeze.My wife loves the ease of use as well.She never used the old clock ever though it was dual alarm (she did not want to learn the crazy process of setting the old clock) but now she is always using this one.Thing is so simple you barely need a manual but don't worry its there and fairly easy to follow.Lots of options on this clock, alarm from radio to buzzer that slow escalates in volume, radio has digital tuning.Line option for MP3 player and variable brightness for clock.Clock can be analog or digital.My wife likes this as well, she thinks its cute.Snooze and sleep timer are programmable and the alarm even works if power is out ... though have not tested this feature yet.

In short, the clock with its small footprint was exactly what we wanted... only reason why I did not give it highest rating was due to first unit with faulty volume knob.

Product Description:
The RP5415 clock radio is the perfect companion in the morning. The transflective display can be customized to read digital or analog readouts, so you can match the clock to your personal style. The LCD display is in a cool blue color which is light on the eyes and makes it easy to read. The clock can be adjusted to two different levels of brightness to accommodate for different lighting situations. The LCD display also has a digital frequency readout, so you can precisely tune to your favorite radio station. Connect your MP3 player to the audio input jack and enjoy your music any time of the day without having to wear headphones. The dual alarm can be programmed so that you can choose to wake-up to the buzzer or to your favorite radio station. It features a programmable snooze that you can set to ring between 1 to 30 minutes, or by the default setting of every 9 minutes. The snooze button is large and takes up a large amount of the top of the unit, making it easy to find when you're still half asleep.
