Pros: Outstanding sound quality for speaker size, digital tuning, two alarms, quality construction Cons: Display much too bright for bedside and not adjustable The Bottom Line: A well-made clock radio with good FM sensitivity and excellent sound. You have to live with a too-bright display. Review: I've been using the Teac R2 for about a month, and it has many virtues. Good materials, construction, and finish, sensitive FM reception with the antenna wire (and we live in a problematic reception area), two alarms, digital radio tuning, rechargeable ... from Shopping.com Bought a renewed TEAC R2 Premium Edition AM/FM Mono Clock/Radio after the battery system failed in my older edition. That may be my only issue as a new battery pack is expensive from TEAC (which is the only place I could find it!). from Amazon.com - Decent radio reception but that will vary on where you live. (does come with an antenna) - The alarm clock can be set to Auxiliary input so if you have your iPod's alarm clock set to the same alarm settings as the Teac, then you got yourself an iPod alarm clock. - Handle is very convenient. from Amazon.com The big disappointment is that the battery pack has now died and even though I never planned on using it without power, it will now not work at all. I presume that since the battery pack is now dead that it won't pass the power on through to the radio even though it is plugged into AC power. I haven't yet spoken to TEAC to find out how much a replacement battery pack is. Having the battery pack is a nice feature, but it should work even without a battery pack installed. from Amazon.com THE TEAC R2 IS A GREAT BUYIF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT SOUNDING FM RECEIVER. IT IS AN ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO ANY TABLE TOP. from Amazon.com To even call the Teac R2 AM/FM a radio is to do a disservice to real radios. It may look like a radio but in reality it's designed to best serve its owner more as an overpriced paperweight. from Amazon.com I'm a sucker for portable radios and have them all over the house. I was able to justify buying the Teac for the baby's room since he likes music while he's going to sleep. I was initially pleased with this radio, as the construction and styling are top-flight. from Amazon.com I purchase this mainly because of the portable use with the built in battery. After a week the battery would not hold a charge, I call customer service, and the tech told me the batteries were only meant to last a year????? I exchanged it for another r2, same battery problem same reception problems. from Amazon.com I like knowing that I did not accidentally turn off the alarm altogether by hitting the wrong button. If I awake in a panic after hitting snooze once or twice thinking I turned my alarm off in a stupor, I feel at peace when I see the word SNOOZE on the display. TAEC makes great, solid, quality stuff (no, I do not work for TEAC). This unit is heavy, classy and sharp. from Amazon.com The battery which came with it does not work. As soon as power is lost you lose all your settings. It uses a 7.2V teac nicad battery. from Amazon.com
