Howard Miller Radio Travel Alarm Clock-645-587 Review

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.

PRO:

- It keeps time.
- The radio gets reception and the single speaker is plenty loud.
- The radio runs off of AAA batteries.
- It was cheap.

CON:

- The radio and clock are two independent devices.The radio is in one half of the clamshell and takes AAA batteries.The digital clock is in the other half and takes watch batteries.This means there is no way to set an alarm to radio - just a buzzer.
- There are two buttons to control the radio (search and reset), and no dial or display to figure out what station you are on, or a button to backtrack.I was grateful to figure out that the radio would stay set on a particular station when it is turned off, at least.
- The LCD is not particularly clear and can't be read from wide angles.I have to put it on a shelf at eye level to be able to glance at the time.
- The clock displays the time as 12-22, not 12:22.I keep mistaking the time for the date.
- Since it has calculator functions I thought setting the time would be as easy as keying in the numbers.Nope!It uses the same forward/backward toggles as any other clock.I hope I won't be setting the time often, but it's curious.

So, it's not exactly what I was expecting, and it is thoroughly cheap inside and out, but it gets the station I want to listen to and it keeps time, which is all I needed it to do.I don't think I would recommend it to use as a travel clock.Kids might really like it, though, since it is kind of a Swiss army knife of an electronic device.

Sangean RS-332 Powered Speaker for RS-330 Clock Radio Review

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.

iHome T435B Xtra Loud Dual Alarm Clock Blk Review

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 don't know how to rate it but Timex has been around awhile and it looks like a good product.

Hello Kitty Stereo Clock Radio/ Recharging Station for iPod Review

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.

Sony ICF-C180COS Radio AM/FM- Dream Machine Review

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.

Sangean RCR-1 Advanced Atomic Clock Radio - Silver Review

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.

Boston Acoustics HDUOIPW Duo-I Plus iPhone/iPod Dock AM/FM Stereo Radio and Clock Functions (Gloss White) Review

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!
