Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I liked the features and large numbers if this clock radio, but was very disappointed when I got it home and tried it out.
Though large, the numbers are very close together so can be hard to read from any distance. They also have poor contrast -- turning them up to the highest brightness makes the background so bright that the effectiveness of the bright setting is lessened.
I was particularly looking for a radio with presets, and this has them (20 FM) but the implementation is so poor they are basically useless. With only one button to work with, you have to cycle through the 20 presets to get to the one you want. I put my most often used preset at number 1. If I miss and end up on preset two, that's twenty clicks to get back to what I want -- or if I'm on number two and want to go to number one, I've got to go all the way around. Ridiculous.
The iPod/iPhone features are basic, but seem to work well. The radio reception is fine, as is the sound quality. This might be fine for someone who doesn't listen to the radio much, or only listens to one station, and has sharp eyes to read the time across a room (or can put this near to where they will be when reading it). Otherwise stay away.
