Am very satisfied with this product. I wanted something that would fit in an upper limited space area.

Quality is acceptable for the price.
Seller was prompt as stated.

GPX CC319B AM/FM Clock Radio with Dual Alarms and Top Load CD Player (Black) Review

GPX CC319B AM/FM Clock Radio with Dual Alarms and Top Load CD Player (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this radio five days ago. I needed a decent clock radio that played cds, had a repeat button, and was unobtrusive enough to be on the nightstand. When the radio showed up there were no instructions in the box, which I figured was okay since it's just a clock radio. After I got it plugged in and the time set, I tried to play a cd. The power button wouldn't turn it on. With no instructions I felt stupid not being able to figure it out. I left it plugged in over night and the alarm worked fine on the morning. The next night I tried the power button again and was able to play a cd all night to help me sleep. The cd player makes a whirring noise that was distracting. Since my sleep cds are mostly white noise the extra noise was annoying. I think if it was music it might not have been so noticeable. The next night I was all set to play a cd at bedtime and, again, no power. That was Thursday night and it's now Sunday and, with the exception of the clock and alarm, there hasn't been power since the second night. I don't hear any short so I think it's just a bad machine, maybe too cheap. I'm returning it tomorrow.

Timex T155LX Expedition Bell and Nature Sounds Alarm Clock Review

Timex T155LX Expedition Bell and Nature Sounds Alarm Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
this is a fine alarm clock. it has funny nature sounds and alarms (my favorite is the babbling brook). I think the intention is that you put on the nature sound before going to sleep and it will help you sleep. great idea if the ocean sound, for example, didn't remind me of flushing toilets. I mean the sounds are muffled, like they are inside a box. the nature sound loops are short (about ten seconds then it repeats not too noticeably). the forest sound is mostly a bunch of crickets and the occasional hooting owl (if you into that sort of thing). anyways, this is a fine alarm clock in an attractive green package, but if you want to sleep to the sounds of nature, but one of those CDs, or move to the country.

Philips AJ396517 Stereo CD Clock Radio Review

Philips AJ396517 Stereo CD Clock Radio
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I thought that I had found the perfect clock radio: handsome, dual alarm that is easy to set both forwards and backwards, good sound with CD... My only complaint is the readability of the display. Despite boasting a super big blue backlight for easy reading, I find the LCD display often difficult to read. To be perfect, Philips should have stuck with a good old fashioned LED. Despite this shortcoming, the AJ396517 is arguably the best CD clock radio out there.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Philips AJ396517 Stereo CD Clock Radio

The Philips AJ396517 CD AM/FM stereo digital alarm clock features a dual alarm that can be set for two different wake-up times. You have the choice of waking up to your favorite CD, radio station, or beeper melodies. When waking to a CD, the silent CD alarm begins with a preselected track that's ready to play.
The clock is quartz controlled for accuracy. Press the repeat alarm to switch off the alarm for seven minutes at a time. The 24-hour alarm reset eliminates the need to manually reset the alarm after each use by automatically resetting the alarm function for the same time on the next day. The weekend sleeper makes sure that either one or both alarm functions are switched off during the weekends.
Using the sleep and slumber feature, you can listen to music while falling asleep without the worry of having to turn off the radio. This feature plays up to 90 minutes of music and automatically shuts off. The radio PLL tuner allows you to store up to 30 FM and AM station presets.
This clock radio has a self-powered backup. In case of an interruption in power, the clock will hold the time and alarm settings for three minutes.

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

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this from another etailer since Amazon didn't have it. It's a great unit. CD player sounds very good, but not great with no extra buzzing or noises. You can select shuffle CD and can also select the particular track you want the alarm to start on. Radio has very good reception and sound. I have not used the buzzer yet so can't comment on how ok or annoying it is. The manual says it beeps and progressively changes. You can set the CD, radio, or buzzer for the alarm...one, all, or any combination of the three each with it's own seperate wake up time. I start with a soothing CD, then NPR comes on, and then the buzzer is the final backup in case I'm really lazy that day. The display is very good, visible from variety of angles and not so bright as to be annoying at night. The unit in general feels well made and I expect it will last awhile. Good value.

Sony ICFC723 AM/FM Memory Clock Radio Review

Sony ICFC723 AM/FM Memory Clock Radio
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This clock came out in Korea a little over a week ago. I bought it at my favorite Korean store to use in my bedroom. It(sony) is a great American brand I always try to find American things to put in my house. I got this one because i like Sony a lot. I have had a Sony clock beofer this and it lasted for many years. I just got it yesterday and i used it last night. Even though the shape seems a little wierd with the time being to the back of the clock it did not make a very big difference. I think I actually like it better the time being not right in your face, like most other clocks have their screen at the front of their machine. This is a wounderful clock my by one of the best American companies in the WHOLE WORLD.

The Sony ICF-C723's unique, high-tech design with function controls cleverly set in the base, stands apart from ordinary clock radios because it saves nightstand space, letting you place it almost anywhere. The synthesized tuner with PLL (Phase Locked Loop) provides the most accurate drift-free tuning of AM and FM radio stations. And the five random memory presets offer convenient one-button tuning of your choice of five favorite radio stations. A dual alarm permits you to set two separate wake-up times, especially useful for working couples. And the self-power back-up maintains clock and alarm settings in case of power failure. Leave yourself wake-up messages and personal reminders on the built-in IC chip to remind yourself of that day's business and other appointments. Message will be played at wake up time (before and after alarm) helping to ensure that your message has been noted.

Sony ICF-CD832PS Psyc CD / AM / FM Stereo Clock Radio (Black) Review

Sony ICF-CD832PS Psyc CD / AM / FM Stereo Clock Radio (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When you need to get up, you need to know that the alarm clock will go off and won't blink 12:00am at 9am after a power outage, or anything like that.
There is NO BATTERY BACKUP! Keep this in mind if you are using it as a bedside clock. In an office, it's fine, but it's not the wisest design having an alarm clock with no battery back up.
The only protection it has is a 60 second clock memory. So if you're power outage goes on longer than 60 seconds...don't expect to make it to work/class on time.
It looks nice though, and is an attractive clock/cd/radio... but that's about it.

Sony ICF-CD831 CD Clock Radio with FM/AM Radio and Extendable Snooze (White) Review

Sony ICF-CD831 CD Clock Radio with FM/AM Radio and Extendable Snooze (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the best alarm clock I've ever had, except for one thing. No battery backup. I suppose I could plug it into one of my UPSs to alleviate that problem, but I was surprised at how quickly it lost its memory after power loss. It would also be nice if it had a digital tuner, but that isn't a big deal to me since I don't use it for readio much. If I did use it for radio a lot, it would drive me nuts manually tuning to stations.
I love the snooze feature where you can keep tapping it to change when the next alarm will be. The ideal alarm clock would be similar to this one, with a battery backup, and a digital tuner. Oh yeah, it sounds pretty good too. I have it set play a nature sounds CD when I wake up. When it plays the morning birds I sometimes confuse the recording for the real birds outside my window, and vice versa. I'm not saying these are excellent speakers, but they definitely sound good for an alarm clock. Oh, and it looks pretty stylish to most of the other boxy CD alarm clocks out there.
In short, a very good alarm clock, but plug it into a UPS if you want to be sure you won't be late for work because of a power outtage in the middle of the night.

I am very happy with this clock radio/CD player. I especially like that the time can be set forward and backward and that the time display is easy to see without the light from it keeping me awake.

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.

RCA RP3711 Digital Clock Radio Review

RCA RP3711 Digital Clock Radio
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the only alarm clock I know of (at least in this price range) that has so many great features. I don't know who decided that the best amount of snooze time is 9 minutes which is the standard on almost every other clock I know of. This clock lets you set the snooze time to what YOU want. It has digital tuning that lets you find the station you want quickly and accurately. No more fiddling around trying to find that sweet spot. The digital tuner also lets you go to sleep to one station and wake up to another! (I only wish you could set the volume differently for sleep and wake. Unfortunately that's not possible.)
Another nice feature is that the sleep button holds the last setting. Most clocks set themselves for one hour as soon as you hit the button so if you set it for twenty minutes and then accidentally hit the sleep button again, you have the reset it for twenty minutes. On THIS clock it holds that twenty minute setting until you change it. It also lets you move backwards and forwards so if you miss the twenty you don't have to start over.
As far as the basics go, it has a large clear display, clear and crisp sound, and sharp tuning. My only complaint is that the small buttons are a bit uncomfortable to press. That shouldn't be a major issue though.
In short, I love this clock and highly recommend it!

GPX Dual AM/FM/CD Alarm Clock Radio (D714) Review

GPX Dual  AM/FM/CD Alarm Clock Radio (D714)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this item as a present. It's alarm clock features work fine, allowing for two alarms, and has a battery backup (don't know how long it lasts, though - the manual doesn't say). I particularly like the red display - it doesn't hurt night-vision or light up the room, like green/blue displays do (something I find very frustrating). The buttons are in fairly good positions, with the Snooze button a different texture from the rest, an important thing for half-asleep morning fingers. The time button is set on the opposite side from the hour/minute buttons, so there's little chance of accidentally resetting the time (something I've done many times with other clocks).
However, the Snooze timer is hardwired for 6 minutes, which is way too short. The sound quality is terrible, *very* tinny, and there're no jacks for connecting it to other, better speakers (I don't know if any other clocks come with such functionality, but it would be awesome if they did).
But the worst part for me is the way the alarm works in relation to the CD player. This appears to be a failing in every CD-alarm model I've read about so far, so it's unfortunately not unique to this one: The alarm only ever plays the *first* track of the CD. Using program mode means nothing when it comes to the alarm - all it allows you to do is change which track it considers the first one. So for someone who hits snooze at least three times (my boyfriend hits his at least seven or eight), having the exact same track play, from exactly the same point, each time the alarm goes off gets VERY annoying. I desperately tried to get the program mode to save the "random" setting for when the alarm went off, but no luck - it doesn't do that. Also, if you hit snooze, when the alarm next goes off it does not resume at the point in the song where you left off, it simply starts the song over again. How many times can you listen to the same opening notes of a song before going insane?
Manufacturers of such alarms have completely missed the point of having a CD-alarm: It's not to play the CD all the way through like a regular stereo, it's to have the choice of various sounds/music to *wake up to* in the morning! If that choice is taken away, it completely nullifies the benefits of a CD-alarm.
In terms of a general alarm clock, it works fine. The speakers are horrible, but that's okay - they're just there to wake me up. If only the CD-alarm allowed for random tracks and it had good Snooze functionality, I'd actually be satisified because it would do it's job - especially since I can't take waking up to the innane morning radio chatter much longer!

I was almost scared off by the negative reviews here. I really need a radio/cd player with a headphone jack to use with my pillow speaker so I don't disturb my husband. This clock radio isn't too large for my night stand and the sound quality is fine whether I'm listening to a CD or the radio. I did hold on to the shipping materials in case mine quit after three days like someone said...I did not get a defective one so I tossed the boxes. :-) I am very pleased with this clock radio and I do think it's a bargain.

The old clock radio finally died and my husband and I thought it would be nice to have a CD player in the bedroom to listen to audio books in bed now and then (yes, I know, but it depends on the book!!). We've found the sound quality on such an inexpensive item to be extremely good, it's easy to tune the radio in and we like the huge time display - I can even see it without my glasses at night!! So far, it's awakened us at our ridiculously early get up time during the week without fail. No complaints - very happy with this clock/radio/CD player.

Get ready to sleep. No need to worry about getting up in time with its dual alarm settings. The ICD-CD815 Clock Radio lets you forget about settings and focus on what's important: sleep. Connect your digital music player or insert your favorite CD and unwind before bed.

Average 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.
