RCA RP3755 AM/FM Dual Wake CD Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My number one criteria in my search for a clock radio is a digital tuner. If you set a radio station you want to know that you are on that station. Having an analog dial be off slightly may mean you will not hear what you expect or maybe you will hear nothing at all. I am not aware of any other digital tuner clock radio close to this price. This one seems to perform fine. The CD is a good feature, and the unit comes with a CD of interesting sounds. I have been waking lately to mission bells and birds, and it beats the bad news on the radio!
The controls are reasonably straight forward once you get the hang of it. The clock brightness can be lower for night time, although it could be even a little dimmer.
Overall not a bad radio and I got mine at a good price.

Sony ICF-CD853V AM/FM/TV/Weather Clock Radio/CD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very nice clock. Although sound is a little thin (but what do you expect from a clock radio), it's very clean and detailed. CD transport works very well, plays all my CD-Rs and RWs without a hitch. Pros: Big display (easy to read), digital tuner, nice button layout, very easy to set the alarms, brightness control (although manual.) Cons: cannot set alarms separately for weekdays/weekends, no gentle wake, very brights not-dimmable LEDs that shine brigther that the LCD screen itself, need a longer FM antenna for better reception.
I'm returning it to get the next model in line (ICF-CD863V), which has automatic dimmer control, gentle wake, and slightly better sound.

RCA RP3755RD - CD clock radio - silver, red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have this exact cd alarm clock for my son, he loves it & listens to his oceans sounds at night. So when I was in the market for another, there was no question that this is what I wanted. I purchased it, the one I receive was broken so I exchanged it. I received a new one promptly. This lasted about 2 months then the CD player broke. I'm very disappointed since he quality is great. My originaly is over 3 years old & works like a charm playing lullabys every night. I guess it was a bad egg?

Curtis CR4947 Vertical CD Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first CD clock radio was a Memorex. In my opinion, it faded out prematurely, so I did not replace it with a Memorex. I shopped for a low end unit with good reviews. This particular unit had two reviews. One was positive and the other was DOA. DOA is better than slow-death because it can be returned promptly, whereas, slow-death can kind of catch you unawares. I bought the unit in March '08 and have waited till Aug. '08 to comment, figuring a five month test period was a reasonable length.
I like this unit. Everything works and continues to work. I didn't buy it for the radio, but do use the CD player almost every day. The speakers aren't bad for their size. Controls are easy to find and use.
The upright design makes for an odd looking unit, but it is very convenient. It's as easy to use the unit while lying down as not.
The sleep bar is certainly easy to find -- you can't miss it. If you like to wake up slowly, this is very convenient. On the other hand, the alarm is very loud, but with the big sleep bar it's easy to stifle. It's certainly not an alarm you could sleep through.
If the power is turned on, the LCD is very bright. It needs to be on to operate the CD player or radio, but is not needed for the alarm clock. Turning the power off dims the LCD, which is preferable at night.
This unit takes up very little horizontal space, which is a plus. My old unit devoured available space, so I only ever kept it in one place. This unit fits into small areas, so I move it when needed. The back-up battery maintains settings during relocations.
Unless this thing suddenly dies without cause during the next few years, if I have to replace it sometime, I would definitely want the same unit.

Sony ICF-CD855VSIL TV/Weather/FM/AM 4 Band CD Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this for its sleek design, small footprint and CD capability. It was purchased for our babies room so that we could play CDs. We wanted something smaller and better looking than any of the boom boxes and not as expensive as the shelf systems at which we looked.
So your needs may differ if you plan to use this as an alarm clock.
We really like the size and sound quality for something this small. It is very easy to set up without even using the owners manual. The buttons are well placed and have a very solid feel. The unit has a very high quality feel to it as you would expect from Sony and considering the price.
All functions work as described so I won't spend a lot of time on them individually. Reception is excellent in FM mode, AM is a bit weaker. The TV and weather bands are very hit and miss as far as reception and was dissapointed that I could not get better reception from the preselectd weather frequencies as I live in a well populated area that is subject to severe weather.
CD works flawlessly but the size hinders the bass and mid-range a bit. But again, consideing the size of the unit I am more than happy with the sound quality. If sound quality is more important than size you may want to consider the Panasonic RC-CD350.
I have only four complaints about this unit... the wall wart power supply is huge, the LCD backlight is VERY bright, even on its lowest setting of three. This isn't too much of an issue for us as we will use it as a night light in our babies room. More frustrating is the fact that considering how bright the LCD backlight is it is difficult to read the LCD diplay. I couldn't use this if it were for my bedroom alarm clock. And the last is the lack of a battery back up. This is sort of silly in a unit that costs $80.
Bottom line is this is a high quality unit which has a few drawbacks that a unit of this price point shouldn't have.
Pros:
Sleek design (Only Panasonic was close on design)
Relativly small size (considering it plays CDs)
Good sound quality (Panasonic was better but bigger)
Solid feel (What you expect from Sony at this price)
Cons:
Huge wall wart transformer
VERY bright LCD backlight
Poor weather band reception
Difficult to read LCD
No battery back up

Memorex MC7104 - CD clock radio - black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While the Memorex Loft had some features I desired such as battery backup, duel alarms, and expandable speaker, its drawbacks make it basically unusable as far as I can see. The back light on the display is way too bright even on the dim setting and the number display is very difficult to see even in the best of lighting conditions. Waking up at night and trying to see the display simply blinds you. The control buttons on the front of the unit are too small, and impossible to push without holding the whole unit to keep it from moving. I ended up taking it to work to use for music while I work. It is pretty much useless as a clock radio in the bedroom.

MEMOREX 00654 CD CLOCK RADIO WITH DIGITAL PLL & DUAL ALARM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this radio because it was so much prettier than any of the others, but it's loaded with functions and quite well manufactured. The alarm for CD/radio is nice because it starts out soft, and slowly grows louder. You can pick what track on the CD or radio station you want to wake up to. The reception is pretty good. I have the radio on a shelf in my bookcase, and without unraveling the antenna or even unwrapping it out of its cellophane, the stations come in clear. It almost has too many functions, and I don't think I could ever get rid of the manual. I can hit the snooze button and set it to 5, 10, 20, 30... up to 60 minutes, and it has TWO separate alarms. Pretty cool. There are two light settings. I've never had a backlit face on my alarm clocks because I really enjoy pitch black darkness as I sleep (even have a black night cover over my window) but I was surprised at how quickly I got to sleep with the clock set to dim. It was probably because I set the sleep function and listened to my relaxation CD. I love this clock. I've preset 9 (the maximum) radio stations and now just have to push a button to get to my favs. The CDs I can program what order I want the tracks played (maximum 20), repeatedly play back one track, have random playback, or just play them in order. I've only played them in order. The one problem I've found is that my favorite nature CD I can play, but I can't have it used as an alarm CD because it doesn't have the label "compact disc digital audio" and the manual says that it doesn't conform to CD standard. I tried. You can connect the clock to an externl audio unit... I really don't know what that is, I only mention it because I'm the first one reviewing it, and thought this info would be handy to someone. As well, there's a place to plug in headphones. Also, the manual's written in English, Spanish and French, if that helps anyone. I took about half a year of researching and looking at different clocks, and am glad I purchased this one. But I was very nervous about buying one that didn't have a review, so that's why I wrote this one. Hope it helps.

Timex T435B MP3/CD Line-In 8-Color Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice clock for the office, but I don't depend on it to wake me up. I chose this clock because of the dual alarms and iPod connection. The buzzer alarm is not very loud and turns off automatically when the radio alarm goes off. The radio is not good - very bad reception that fades in and out without moving the dial or antenna wire. I'm going to find a better alarm clock and take this to the office as a desk clock & iPod speaker. The good features: dimmer for the display, 2,5, 7 day alarms, automatically updates with Daylight Savings change and you can adjust the volume for the sleep setting without changing the alarm volume.

Magnavox CD Alarm/Clock Radio (MCR23017) (MCR230) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Read the other reviews on the other clocks... lot's of complaints.
I have had this for a week and it works great and the controls are simple.
One great feature is the alarm reset. You just hit the button to turn off the alarm without having to reset it again for the next night. It also has a snooze.
Waking up to CD is great (it does play CD-Rs). A minor complain, but it always starts on the first song regardless where you left it the night before.

Wake up to the tunes you like rather than the choices of your local DJ with this Magnavox clock radio, which comes equipped with a CD player and an analog AM/FM tuner. The dual alarm features three different settings--for rising to a CD, a favorite radio station, or the buzzer--and is ideal for households with two people who wake at different times. It also includes a sleep timer and repeat alarm, along with a battery backup that activates during a power outage. Groggy users will appreciate the large, easy-to-read LED display, which displays the time clearly so you won't misinterpret the hour. In addition, the CD player also works intuitively, with the standard skip, repeat, and pause functions people have come to expect. The clock radio carries a 90-day warranty against defects.

Jensen AM/FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Top Loading CD Player - JCR-332 (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit has proven useful for me. The fidelity is not great (I did not expect great) but not bad. It is relatively easy to figure out the various features of the unit.
The feature I find best for me is that I can set the alarm for whatever time, go to sleep listening to a CD, and then that same CD will start playing at the alarm time. It's unfortunate that there is no capability for setting the alarm on buzzer, going to sleep listening to a CD and then at alarm time the buzzer will sound. It's unfortunate that the unit does not have a headphone output.
