iHome iP87 Dual Alarm Clock Radio with AM/FM Presets and Dock for iPhone and iPod with Remote (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a mostly very well thought out clock radio. I list below my LIKES and DISLIKES, so that you can more easily determine if this would be a good purchase for you:
LIKES:
* It charges your Ipod
* The alarm can be set to wake you up to your Ipod music (you create a Playlist on your Ipod called "iHome" with whatever song(s) you want; then when setting the alarm, you choose the option to wake to playlist)
* The alarm is a gradual alarm. Whether you choose to wake to a buzzer, iPod, radio, etc., the sound of the alarm starts gradually, before it comes on too loud. This is a nicer way to wake up, I think
* The digital display is very bright on its brightest setting. This can be useful as a nightlight in your room. However, if the radio is close to your bed, the brightness can easily be adjusted lower by pressing the "snooze" button until you find your desired brightness
* The sound quality is fine. Obviously, it cannot match full-size speakers, and for the price, it is not going to be quite as solid as similar sized radios which cost twice as much (or more). But, for this attractive price, the sound quality is fine, acceptable, etc.!
* It can be programmed to only way on the 5 weekdays, 2 weekend days or all 7 days. Although, as noted below, this may not be working correctly, or maybe I am missing a setting
* The price is very competitive for the features you receive on this radio
DISLIKES:
* Setting the alarm requires spinning a wheel-like dial. If you set different times regularly, and especially if those different times are far apart from each other, spinning the dial can be troublesome.
* Even though you are supposed to be able to set it for "5 days" (meaning it should only wake you M-F), I cannot seem to make that work properly. So, I work around this by telling it to wake me all 7 days, and on the weekends when my wake up schedule is different, I simply change the wake up time.
SUMMARY:
The LIKES greatly outweight the DISLIKES. This is a great iPod clock radio.
