SONY ICF-C211-BLK AM/FM Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had my Sony Clock Radio for quite a while now. It's durable (I've dropped it several times down several flights of stairs, but it's still here and working) and performs as advertised. One minor complaint though. The radio doesn't go very loud without distortion. But who would want to crank an alarm clock radio up anyways??? Overall, this is a great product.

RCA RC46 AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio with Large Blue LED Display (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Trying to find a reliable, easy to use, inexpensive, alarm clock for the wife. She wanted one that sets itself and had a battery back-up. I wanted one that would wake her up. Found this one at K-mart and spent 30 mins playing with it over by the televisions (needed a power source). This radio alarm clock is perfect for what I need. This being my first review, I"ll just point out the things that made me buy it.
1. Nice soft blue color, 2 setting...low you can just make out and high is clearly visible
2. Battery back up (even came with batteries) easy to find AA"s
3. Plug in in and it sets itself (all you have to do is set the time zone) has a switch for Daylight Savings Time.
4. Dual alarm (his and her) or in this case days and midnights...set it and forget it. You don't have to remember to set it everyday.
5. If the power goes out the alarm goes into kind of a sleep mode. It beeps to warn you of the power failure and according to the instructions, remembers the alarm settings and goes off without it being plugged in (not tested yet)
6. The alarm starts off kinda like any other alarm but then gets progressively louder (can't see anyone sleeping through this one)
7. Playing with the tuner, looks like one of those old fashion, spin the dial things, but it shows a digital read on the display (kinda cool but it's a cheap radio folks and sounds like one)
8. The snooze is adjustable from 1 to 30 mins.
9. Last but not least, the alarm set time is displayed on the lower right, so if your the nervous type, you can double check to make sure the alarm is where you want it to be. All for around 20 bucks...and that"s all I have to say about that.....

The programmable sleep feature will play the radio up to 2-hours before automatically turning off, allowing you to gently fall asleep to the radio. The RC46 features a 2nd display 'alarm reminder" showing the time you have set for the alarm to go off. No more second guessing if you set the time of the alarm correctly or not. The clock radio has two different alarm settings that are perfect for couples who wake at different times or for those who need a second reminder to wake in the morning. Set the alarm to wake you up to the buzzer or to your favorite radio station. Enjoy the Graduwake ramp up alarm system that gently wakes you from deep sleep by gradually increasing the volume of the alarm. You'll no longer have a loud, rude awakening in the morning.

Using the SmartSnooze feature, any of the top buttons will act as the snooze button when alarm has been activated, to ensure that you will find it when you're half asleep. The battery backup gives reassurance that your alarm will sound even with the loss of power. The 'No Worry" battery backup keeps the clock radio working during power outages. You'll no longer have to worry about being late to work or needing to reset the clock and alarm.

Sangean RCR-2 Digital Atomic Clock Radio with Dual Alarms Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect alarm clock for my bedroom and, as you can tell, I am still looking. The Sangean RCR-2 certainly has some attractive features like the atomic clock, which took a few hours to set itself, and the nice styling but it fails in so many areas as an alarm clock. First, and most importantly, the display is unreadable. It is very busy with lots of symbols and numbers but using very thin LCD numerals for the time and the off axis viewing angle is very small; you must basically face it head on. Worst of all, however, is the blindingly bright orange backlight with makes is impossible for night adjusted eyes to read the display if you want to check the time in the middle of the night. It is so bright as to cast shadows throughout the room. I keep it across the room but I can't imagine trying to sleep with this minor sun positioned on the nightstand. Sure, you can turn off the backlight but then the clock is invisible at night. Maybe LEDs are not cool but they make a lot more sense for an alarm clock. Also, it takes at least four button presses to turn on the alarm as opposed to one on my old alarm.

This modern clock radio is a step above the clock radios of the past. For starters, the radio updates its time automatically from the U.S. atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. While this may force you to work or school on time, the benefits of a constantly updated timepiece are critical in this fast-paced world. The radio even adjusts itself automatically for daylight saving time. The illuminated LCD screen gives you vital information, including: time, date, day of week, sleep, wake times, naptime, and radio information. With the gentle wake option, you can choose for the radio's volume to start low and slowly build over time. The AM/FM radio has fourteen presets for individual programming. The clock radio also features an automatic preset system which scans and memorizes available radio stations. With the two alarms you can set wake-up times on the same or different days of the week. The sleep timer is a nice feature for those who use the radio as a sleep aid. There is a headphone jack for people who want to listen to the radio without bugging the person besides them. The clock radio's color is silver and its styling is modern and sleek.

RCA RP5600 SmartSnooze Dual Wake Digital AM/FM CD Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this alarm, so I will be updating on it's functionality soon, but here are my initial thoughts:
FEATURES - This alarm has a decent amount of features for the price. One of the complaints I read in other reviews is that you cannot choose the CD track on the alarm function, it would just wake to the first track of the CD. This alarm allows you to set the track, wake to the radio, or to a buzzer. It also has two wake settings, adjustable "snooze/nap" time and gradual wake alarm (starts soft and increases over 30 seconds). It also has "sleep" mode which allows you to listen to the radio or CD with an automatic off so that you can still wake to the alarm in the morning. It has a back-up battery which allows it to run off the battery in the event of a power failure. The display has a bright (which is blue and clear enough to read from a distance) and dim (which is nice and muted and doesn't light the whole room). It was more compact in size than the Sony model that had similar features (and a bit cheaper too).
**Now one of the main complaints on this model is sound. I think people have an unrealistic idea of what a $25 cd alarm sound should sound like. For a cheap cd alarm radio, the sound is actually pretty good. The radio reception is good, and yes you can hear the CD spinning especially during track change, but let's face it... You are not spending the $100+ that great sound systems like BOSE cost. If you are looking for exceptional sound quality you are going to need to fork out the extra money to buy a higher end model. Even RCA makes a higher end model that I'm sure has improved quality of sound.**
My only wish on this alarm is that it have the smart-set technology which automatically sets your alarm after it has been unplugged or loses power. Other than that, this is a great alarm for the money!

RCA RP3721 Dual Alarm Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In addition to the features listed in the product review, this radio also has a battery back up. The front panel is huge, angled, and hard (impossible) to set things on. The displayed numbers are smallish.Reception can be very sensative to how the power cord is routed. Despite the few disadvantages, I like this clock radio, especially the digital seek tuning with 10 presets. It appears that it has the capability for the two alarms to tune to different stations, but I didn't test it.

Here's a kinder, gentler alarm clock from RCA. The dual-alarm AM/FM clock radio has a suitcase full of features, from the Graduwake ramp-up alarm with two different settings to the time-hold capacitor that stores enough energy to keep your time and alarm settings intact during momentary power outages (or if you decide to move the clock to a different room).Other noteworthy features are the front-panel adjustment for a custom view, seek tuning, and push-button controls. Measuring a slight 5.5 by 8 by 5 inches, the unit won't take up much space on your nightstand.
A one-year limited warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship.

GPX C389 Digital Tune AM/FM Clock Radio with Intelli Set and Line In for 3.5mm Devices (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This clock serves it's purpose adequately enough, however the design and placement of all those buttons is lacking. Most people reach out and turn off their alarm in the dark. It is difficult to find the off button. You have to feel your way around the top of the unit. The "Off" button should have been more protruding or pronounced or placed elsewhere not to be confused with all the other buttons next to it.

Philips AJL303 3.5-Inch LCD Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an item I really wanted to like. It looks great on my desk and the photo images come out looking decent. It's not high def, but the screen is not huge so it is not a deficit per se, The list of functions is impressive (photo display, mp3 player, digital radio and it even functions as a clock :-). However, to get the full benefit you have to know your way around the unit's menu system and you must also know how to put music and photos on to the SC card in order to display you own photos and play your own music. Since there is no USB port, you must do this in a separate card reader/writer. Now, you may have all of this already, but I think it would have been much better to have a USB port for this clock so you could just hook it up to your computer and download what you need. Because of this, in practice, I suspect most people will put some items on this clock once, and then not revisit it.
The radio is very, very good. Surprisingly, it picks up stations at my home that other radios can't. I was surprised. The unit comes with an FM radio wire antenna, but I didn't have to extend it. It just worked. Controlling the radio requires using little buttons on the side of the unit. This is not a big deal, but you are likely to get fingerprints on the front screen since the unit is light weight and you have to hold it or pick it up to push the buttons. Since the front is an attractive mirrored finish, prints show up easily.
So, if you are not baffled by buttons and menus, and you are slightly technically handy in manipulating SD cards, this unit is great. Looks good, sounds OK and has a lot of features. The FM radio is super sensitive and has auto station seek. You'll like it. If you need your clock radio/picture frame to be brain dead simple, you should look elsewhere. Since my personal intellect is time of day dependent, perhaps a further summary is to say this makes a better desk clock than a bedside alarm clock for that reason.
