Memorex Mi3005BLK iMove Boombox for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent a lot of time searching for some type of speakers that were not going to cost a lot for my daughters iPod Nano. I wanted to get something that would recharge the iPod while she was listening to it and something she could carry around.
The iMove comes with 8 adapters for most iPod's (4th Generation, iPod Photo, iPod w/Video, iPod mini, iPod nano). It did not come with an adapter for the new metal case iPod nano, but Memorex offers a free adapter if you call them at 1-800-321-6993.
The sound is descent and as good as anything I shopped for in the price range up to $120, has a digital display and comes with a radio which is nice as well.

The iPod perfected the art of listening alone, but what's the fun ofhoardingyour favorite music? Now it's easy to share all your favorite iPod tuneseverywhere yougo with the Memorex iMove boombox. Equipped with a built-in docking station thatpowers and charges all iPods with dock connectors, along with an integrated handlethat's perfect for on-the-go listening, the iMove is a must for college students,peoplewho work outside, and anyone else who hesitates to stay in one place for long. TheiMove is distinguished by its SRS WOW sound enhancement system, which improvesthe dynamic audio performance of your iPod tunes. SRS WOW accomplishes this byproviding a panoramic, three-dimensional audio image that extends the sound fieldinboth the horizontal and vertical planes. In so doing, the technology lowers theperceived low-frequency response so that your ears hear more bass despite thesmalldriver size. It adds up to an immersive, high-quality audio experience that fillsany roomin the house.
The iMove also comes with a digital AM/FM radio--a feature that's notably missingfrom many iPod speaker systems--and several station presets for easy channelsurfing.And, perhaps most importantly for a portable system, the boombox runs on both ACand battery power, with support for eight D-size batteries (not included). Otherdetailsinclude a white backlit LCD display, a sleek black housing, an auxiliary input forconnecting MP3 players and other audio devices, and a wireless remote that letsyouadjust the volume or skip to the next song from anywhere in the room.

Memorex MVUC821 Under-Cabinet 8-Inch Widescreen LCD TV/DVD with ATSC Digital Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are smart enough to read these reviews before buying (you'll see the rest of us were not...lol) then here is the low-down...
Pros: Relatively easy to install, good space utilization, good functionality (probably too much for this application), decent picture quality and sound
Cons: Will not process cable tv signal, strange signal delay when using the remote, magnetic remote isn't strong enough to stay on the fridge
THIS UNIT WILL ONLY PROCESS BROADCAST HDTV SIGNALS. It will NOT process a cable tv signal so don't even bother trying.
Summary: I bought the unit and started to install it. But the included "spacers" and mounting bolts were not sufficient to clear the underside lip of my kitchen cabinets. So after cobbling together some 1x2 rails, I finally had everything in place.
If you have average depth cabinets, there's not much space between the back of the unit and the wall. You'll want a $5 right-angle (90-deg) coax adapter to make hooking up the coax cable easier.
Once installed, and power on, we put in a DVD - all was well - and played the radio - all was well. Then came installing the cable. I ran a new cable from the middle of my attic to the kitchen - drilling several holes in walls to get there. It took about 2 hours. When I hooked up the cable, I got the dreaded "No Signal" message. Hmmm - okay, probably my DIY cable ends. I replaced both coax ends, and switched the cables around on the splitter. "No Signal." I completely removed the unit and hooked it directly up to the cable from my main TV which I knew worked. "No Signal." So I guess the unit is bad - which is really bad becuase we already threw away all the packing and can't find the reciept!
So I get online. Low and behold, EVERYONE who bought this unit has the same problem: This stupid thing doesn't process a cable TV signal.
Well I can't take it back so i'm determined to get something out of it. I run down to RS and buy a small, amplified HDTV antenna. I install it high in the attic and hook everything back up. The TV works fine. So now I have one TV with broadcast HDTV, which is probably a good thing in case our cable goes out and we need to know what's going on.
Apart from all that, my only complaint (so far) is the 1-2 second delay between pushing a button on the remote and anything happening on the unit. Irritating yes, but not a deal killer in itself.
So if you don't have cable (or don't mind not using cable if you do have it) and want HDTV in your kitchen, this unit my suit your needs.

Memorex Home Audio System with iPod Dock and CD Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My dad's entertainment center takes up almost an entire wall of our house. The stereo system alone consists of about 3/4 of the space. Two huge speakers flank the TV; an entertainment rack has a turntable (aka record player, if anyone even knows what those are anymore), an old CD player from the late 90's (will not recognize CD-RWs or mp3 CDs), a tuner, an amplifier, and a cassette deck (another obsolete piece of equipment).
Why am I bringing this up? Well, Memorex realizes that the times have changed and have changed to bring you all that equipment in a much smaller package: meet the Memorex Home Speaker System for Ipod. This handy dock has not only an iPod dock (and charging station!) but AM/FM radio and a CD-RW/mp3 CD changer (nice addition, may I add!).
Firstly, I really enjoyed the price. Bose docks cost almost triple of the Memorex price, and I think while the quality of the Memorex is no where near the Bose, I find that it is adequate for my purposes. The unit is pretty compact and doesn't stick out, which is great as I stick it directly on the floor. I haven't quite gotten the FM radio to sound as good as I would like, but there is a cord for FM radio reception and I'm sure if I play with it, I can get better quality. Also, the remote takes some getting used to, but it is sure nice to be able to remotely access music, switch from iPod to radio or CD or change the volume. What is also nice is this unit comes with a bass and treble modifier, which seems to work rather nicely. Also, there is a clock (nice feature!), a sleep (great for going to bed to!), and a timer, which I haven't used yet.
Overall, I am very pleased with the Memorex. It has provided what I needed (i.e. iPod dock with CD changer and radio) at a fairly low cost. I would recommend.
NOTE (7/13/09): I recently moved the unit to the counter in the kitchen of my apartment and it works amazingly! The unit is loud enough to carry into the living room, dining room and even slightly into the bedroom. The only problem I still have is the remote, which requires to be pointed very particularly at the unit in order to work.

Memorex MPD8860 - CD / MP3 player with radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 45 sec. skip protection is a joke. It skips just sitting the unit down. No battery display, only tells you when it is low, really, really low. When you stop it wont restart at the exact place you left off. The unit will only restart at the begining of the track you left off at. Not good it its a really long track.

Memorex MI4604P Mini Alarm Clock Radio for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to work with my new iPhone after I discovered that none of the iHome models currently support the iPhone 4. I just returned an iHome to Costco when it wouldn't even charge my iPod Touch 4Gen. So I was happy to read on several tech blogs that this one would be compatible with the iPhone 4. So is this one truly functional for the new iPhone? Yes and no.
The clock does charge the phone without any annoying prompts, however the Play/Pause/FF/RW buttons do not work when you play songs via iTunes. Yet, those same buttons work fine when I play songs via Pandora. The thing I was really hoping for was some integration of the built in iPhone alarm. There is none. The options are to wake to a tone, a radio station, or whatever the last song you were listening to on your iPod/iPhone. All of these start out at 20% volume and slowly increase to 70%. Personally, I think I'll stick with the built in one one the phone and just use the clock to charge the iPhone.
Some of the other parts of the clock I like are:
Nice sound, not too tinny; Line-in jack; great dimmer on the clock face; can sync time with phone easily; battery backup; iPhone lays down on an adjustable support; mannish good looks.
Some of the hokey parts are:
No AM radio, no option for line-in alarm; setting the time (manually) and alarm involves spinning the volume knob many many times.
All in all it's a decent way to charge your phone by the bed if the price doesn't bust your budget.

Memorex Mi4004BLK iWake Clock Radio for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit was my second try at an ipod clock radio. My first, the iHome, turned out to only have 1 alarm. This one has two, so far so good. And, I think the iWake sounds better, too. So much for the good stuff.
When you read the comment from an earlier reviewer about the volume going up, you have no idea how bad it is. It is NOT gradual awakening over 60 seconds, it is the volume going up a notch every 5 seconds to MAX. So unless you put this right next to you, expect to be scrambling so the entire neighborhood isn't calling the cops. Memorex calls this a feature in their manual ("no need to set the alarm volume"). Haha, very funny.
Next, don't plan on putting the unit above eye level, or you won't be able to see anything but a nice lit rectangle instead of the time. The display is like the old black and grey LCD's that were very directional (although this one is well lit). Trouble is, there's no adjustment for the viewing angle.
My third gripe is the remote. It's much better than the iHome remote (which was WAY too directional), but let's say you want to raise or lower the volume. To do so, you have to press the up or down volume button repeatedly as each press only changes the volume 1 bar (out of 12). In retrospect, a pretty silly thing if you try to use the remote to keep from blasting the neighbors when the alarm goes off, because the volume keeps going up every 5 seconds while you're trying to wake up and repeatedly press the correct button in the dark. Hope nobody got that on tape, I could be a hit on youtube :)
Surely a remote that can smoothly raise/lower the volume like any $5 all-in-one can't be that hard to engineer.
If you are going to have this right close by, you can probably overcome the annoying alarm, assuming you can move it so you can read the time. For me, too many compromises.
