Radio sounds great. You might expect this from Sangean. Built very solidly. from Amazon.com I purchased this sangean clock radio about 3 yeqrs ago. I bought it because I didn't want another boring clock radio but something that looked jazzy. from Amazon.com I looked at the Tivoli Audio M3TPE Model Three AM/FM Clock Radio, the design is simple and stylish, but the m3tpe having a battery operated clock and an alarm that goes off twice a day just didn't seem to fit with the $300 or so price. On the other hand, compared to the m3tpe, this rcr-1 has features I didn't think I'd use or need; but now after using the rcr-1, I can't imagine myself doing without many of it's offerings. the rcr-1 makes things simple on one little aspect of my life, in getting up in the morning ... from Amazon.com That can be a problem because the Atomic clock signal is a radio signal that can be interfered with by household appliances, metalic materials in a building and atmospherics. However, of the three Atomic clocks in my house, this radio's clock is the only one that I have not seen get off track on the night of the switch to/from daylight savings time. I believe it is better than most because Sangean made the radio pick-up antenna separable from the radio itself (look at the back of the radio- see the detachable bar?). My antenna is detached and positioned away from 110V power cords and other electronic devices (such as cordless phone, cell phone charger, etc.) that can locally radiate interfering signals. from Amazon.com Conclusion: Your Mileage May Vary. I strongly recommend downloading the manual from the "Product Details" section or the Sangean web site before you buy, because your rating will probably depend on it: * If you can decipher the user's manual well enough to figure out how to use all of the really cool features: 4 stars. from Amazon.com I recently purchased the Sangean RCR-1 and find it has many unique features for a clock radio. The main reason I bought it was for the automatic time updates from Fort Collins, Colorado which makes it very accurate and also automatically changes time for daylight savings. from Amazon.com I bought the Sangean RCR-1 Advanced Atomic Clock for my husband for Christmas. It is without a doubt THE best present I have ever given him. from Amazon.com I love the flexibility of the alarm's. You can set it up to wake you only on certain days of the week. It also features what Sangean calls Humane Waking System which is basically a way of gradually increasing the volume of the alarm tone or radio. This allows for a gentle wake up as opposed to a sudden jolt when the alarm sounds. from Amazon.com I love the flexibility of the alarm's.

This allows for a gentle wake up as opposed to a sudden jolt when the alarm sounds. from Amazon.com I read the reviews on this machine before I bought it as a replacement for another Sangean clock radio that had the speakers go out, and even though there was one review that mentioned the complicated instructions, I thought surely I'd be able to figure it out. I'm pretty tech savvy and so's my husband, so how hard can it be? from Amazon.com
