Sony ICFC705 AM/FM Clock Radio (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice $40 clock radio with a small footprint size that's a lot less money than some other high end brands. Lighted LCD with 3 levels of brightness and dual alarm display. Easy to use, decent single-speaker sound, good radio reception, good looks, and includes built-in line-in plug for external audio source (I use it in my bedroom and have the TV sound connected to this unit). Date and time were already preset correctly right out of the box. Very happy with this Sony clock radio and recommend it.

Emerson CKS9051 SmartSet Dual Alarm Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After days of researching, I finally found the best alarm clock for me and my wife! We are so happy with what we found.
I can't say anything bad about this alarm clock, it got everything we are looking for:
- Weekday\weekend\everyday alarms function for each of its 2 alarm. We set up alarm 1 @ 6a.m. on weekdays (for me), alarm 2 @ 7:30a.m. (for her) on weekdays, therefore no alarm on the weekend. We don't have to wake up by the alarm clock Sat. @ 6a.m ever again.
- Individual setting for each alarm wake up to a gradual buzz or radio.
- The clock has a high/low light setting. If you think the display is too bright, set it to low.
- The display is very clear, showing time and day of week.
- The radio is very clear compare to our existing radio alarm clock.
- The most amazing thing is that the clock will reset itself to the correct time in the event of a power outage. The alarm will preserve the alarms' settings. So in case of a power outage in the middle of the night, when the power comes back on, your alarm clock will continue to function as before. What a great idea! You don't have to manually reset it again, and worse, miss you morning alarm.
These are other alarm clocks that I looked at:
Made by Emerson also. I was going to get this one, but I tried it at a store and it can tip forward as you reach in from hitting the snooze button. Also, some of the button are small. CKS 9051's design is much more stable\sturdy.
Emerson Radio Jumbo Triple Display Dual Alarm AM/FM Clock Radio with SmartSet Technology
Too expensive.
Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio
Too small, for travle maybe.
RiteAlarm Triple Weekly Alarm Clock (R) for Weekdays, Saturday and Sunday, Automatic Extended Daylight Saving Time, Automatic Snooze, Adjustable Volume, Gentle Sound Pattern, Simple Buttons, Pushing Backlight and Battery Operated
This could work, but we prefer larger display and not background lit ones.
Timex Nano Color
Could work but couldn't find it at a store (Target\Sears) to try. Dispay might be too small.
Sony ICFC180 AM/FM Clock Radio
Might work but don't like the dial, display too small. A little expensive.
American Innovative Neverlate 7-Day Alarm Clock
Hope this help.

Equity by La Crosse 30227 LED Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a similar alarm clock from Equity that I got at CVS a few years ago which has a few more features so I decided to try this model. Really..how can you beat this price ??
The clock is easy to set and use. I would like a hi/low dimmer setting but it's no big deal. The alarm IS loud but that's fine. It's really easy to turn on and off. Some clocks, in fact the one this replaced, have tiny on/off switches/buttons to turn the alarm on and off.. My husband kept thinking he had turned the alarm off - before it beeped - when in fact he had not. I got tired of being awakened so early at least once a week so I searched for a model that had an easy and large turnoff button. This one fits the bill.. You really can't go wrong. I received the clock really fast too.

Start the day on time with the help of this basic alarm clock. From Equity by La Crosse, the digital alarm clock features white plastic casing with silver function buttons on top. The clock displays the time in .7-inch high red LED digits. To distinguish between morning and evening hours, a PM indicator light is provided. Another indicator light denotes whether or not the alarm is on. For reluctant risers, the clock offers a repeating 9-minute snooze function to silence the alarm. The clock plugs in to any grounded outlet to run on AC power. In the event of a power outage or relocation, the clock takes one separately purchased 9-volt battery for power back-up. The clock measures 5 inches wide by 3 inches deep by 2-1/2 inches high.

SANGEAN Atomic RCR-3 AM/FM Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)SANGEAN Atomic RCR-3 AM/FM Clock RadioSANGEAN Atomic RCR-3 AM/FM Clock Radio
I've owned many Sangean clock radios over the last few years and this one is by far the best. Many of my complaints have been addressed making me a very happy camper ;)
This radio is an update to the Sangean rcr-1. As far as I can tell it only comes in white. Improvements to this one include:
1. A change from blue backlighting to white. You can now read the display from any angle and from across the room.
2. Gone is the unsightly ferrite antenna stuck to the back of the rcr-1, rcr-2 and rcr-22.
3. They added two more customizable alarms for a total of 4. The first two are buzzer only and the remaining two are for radio alarms.
4. Humane Waking System works in both radio mode and buzzer mode. (Radio mode is undocumented) HWS in radio mode was previously ONLY available on the rcr-1 and absent on the rcr-2 and rcr-22.
5. When the alarm sounds the display lighting of the analog clock changes to amber. Nice touch!
6. Power is now supplied with what I call a wall wart, LOL. This can be a double edged sword, it has a much thinner power cord running from the wall to the clock but the transformer is rather large and can get in the way.
7. Setting and operating the alarms has been greatly improved. It is more intuitive and takes less time to setup.
The radio is very sensitive and is able to pull in stations with ease. The sound quality is very good for a clock radio. It sounds very natural and pleasing. The snooze feature lets you snooze for 5 min. at a time with no option to change the interval. I've owned several clock radios from other manufacturers that let you program the snooze duration. I also wish this clock had a photo electric dimming circuit for the backlight. It does have a dimmer button and an adjustment for brightness on the bottom of the clock. When you press the dimmer button the brightness gradually decreases or increases, another nice touch! If you leave the clock in dimmed setting and momentarily push a button the display will go bright for a few seconds and then resume the dimmed setting.
Sangean reduced the size of the digital display from that used on the rcr-1. As a result it can no longer display the time and date simultaneously. In order to see the date you must first push the date button. I'm nitpicking but in my opinion this radio is not quite perfect.
One last comment, Sangean still has not added a battery backup! In the event of a power outage the alarm WILL NOT sound. Why did you do this Sangean? Haven't you guys been listening to all of the reviewers on this site? I know someone who supposedly works for Sangean responded to my comments on the rcr-1. To clarify, the clock will maintain time for anywhere from 1 to 3 hrs if the power fails but the alarm will not sound. To get around this issue I have plugged it into an uninterruptible power source (UPS). I live in FL and can't take chances with the alarm.
I also wish it had Radio Data System (RDS) and a HD tuner. To really put it over the top it would be nice to have stereo speakers and an iPod dock. Put all of these features in a table radio and you'll have the ultimate clock radio.
