from www.amazon.com
you do have to be careful that you set the right alarm because their are two different ones you can set, but you don't have to be a genius to figure it out.

it's not a boise, but who cares.....for the price it is a very good quailty product.

we thank you for comments of others so we were careful to plug in the radio and move it around to the position that gave us the best reception and installed it close to that position.

i had a carpenter iinstall it but can be done by anyone with some competence with tools.

the remote thankfully is not a credit card type, it is more like a roll of nickels and while ir, it has a full 180 degree range, likely not used in an active place like the kitchen but convenient if

i will definitely consider giving these radios as very practical gifts to those i care about, and i recommend you do the same.
from www.amazon.com
we also bought a portable radio by oregon scientific to take with us in the car...it's not nearly as good as this one.

if you'd like a simple radio to wake you in the morning and really don't care about sound quality, then this appears to be a viable option.
from www.amazon.com
it would also make the perfect present for someone you care about.

Boston Acoustics AM/FM Ipoddock Black

$90.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i ordered this product after careful review of similar items with the idea of having a decent clock radio with alarm.
from www.amazon.com
the major strores...best buy and circuit city (r.i.p.) didn't carry it.
from www.amazon.com
my number one comlaint about alarm clocks these days is that they all look like after-market car stereos or hello kitty trinkets, and even the best ones sound awful.
from www.amazon.com
i don't care what the manufacturer regards as a "dim" setting for the display; significant other has vetoed several models for being too bright...and the units were on my side of the bed.

from A Customer from Portland, Oregon, clickfrom.buy.com
other table top radios in this catagory either did not carry the full sound or just looked like a black box.
from www.amazon.com
this radio comes with a full function credit card sized remote control which is a clear advantage over the tivoli and sony models.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted a high quality radio for use at work that would pull-in weak signals, sound good, look good, feature a digital tuner and the basic digital features that you find in a car radio.
from www.amazon.com
the remote is gray and is the size of a credit card, very lightweight
from www.amazon.com
note it has clock radio features, but be careful.

i was looking for a radio with the kind of buttons you see on car radios, and for some inexplicable reason they are very hard to find.

digital tuner pulls in many stations i can get in my car, but not all.
from www.amazon.com
we bought this because our neighbor's teenage son was a "fast and the furious" wannabe with an obnoxiously loud car and our baby kept waking up.

but who cares about the 1 millionth of a second when it comes to an alarm clock?!

anyway, once it is carefully tuned to a station with noise minimized, it is a very functional clock radio.

i figured it would be only so-so with the antenna in the electrical cord, but i was able to get numerous crystal-clear stations, even more than i can get in my car in this area.
from www.amazon.com
the cd works perfectly in my boom box, car, portable players..
from www.amazon.com
you can project the sound out the front of the unit for a better simulated stereo sound by placing cardboard "ears" at a 45 angle against both side speakers.

from www.amazon.com
an unusual level of care seems to have gone into the physical package: so elegant that one can enjoy simply looking at it; no blinking clutter.
from www.amazon.com
bear in mind that i paid $50 for this unit using the "get a credit card and get a $30 discount" promotion.
from www.amazon.com
making any kind of adjustments requires the reader to carefully follow all the steps as outlined which seems fine except just turning off the alarm in case you get up early or just want to cancel it
from www.amazon.com
for one thing, if you've ever accidentally overslept because you forgot to do something to your alarm clock the night before, this radio probably takes care of the problem for you:

eventually all clocks in my house (and on my person) will be auto synch (either via atomic clock or cell phone carrier).
from www.amazon.com
as for projection during the daytime we've never really cared since it was always meant to tell time in the dark though if that is important i can't say it's that strong.
from www.amazon.com
the atomic thing didn't work, but then again, i'm way up in maine, plus who cares?
from www.amazon.com
so, for the silver clock i put on a glove and held the drill bit in my hand as i carefully reamed out the hole.

a work around could be a separate battery backup like those used for computers that can carry it to the magic 100% mark.
from www.amazon.com
you do not have to turn the alarm on or off everyday or every weekend, it takes care of it for you.
from www.amazon.com
couldn't get the atomic time to work - yet - but everything else is so fab i don't really care whether or not i figure that out.
from www.amazon.com
on the plus side, there are buttons to program for radio stations and this is done like in the car.
from www.amazon.com
sadly i must say that the reception was worse and i was even careful to stretch out the wire for the antenna.

from www.amazon.com
it takes quite a few tries to lock in the station you want, and if you are not very careful, you end up bumping the tuning dial when you are trying to snooze/turn off the alarm, so great clock, ok
from www.amazon.com
the awsome graphics and easy controls: this game, as cartoonish as the cover may look, puts a new theme in cartoony graphics.
from www.amazon.com
the motion sensor on mine is a little iffy, but i don't care.

from Ron from York Pa., www.circuitcity.com
there was three holes punched in what was left of the beaten cardboard that was once a box.
from www.amazon.com
so i bought the radio anyway, carefully took it out of the box (in case i had to return it), placed it where it would actually go in the kitchen and tested the radio reception before installing it.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing i didn't care for is the antenna is combined with the power cord and you have to be careful where it is placed.
from www.amazon.com
home depot didn't carry longer screws of that type.

the radio has six presets similar to your car stereo.

so, all said and done, i can't speak to the cd or mp3 stuff, but who cares?

i don't think i live in an area with poor coverage because it is a very busy surburb and my other devices (car, plain old radio) pick up the signals without any problem.

i didn't care about the wake up features, but wanted something small for the kitchen table.

the radio doesn't have very good reception, but i don't really care because i didn't want a radio in the fist place, though it is very good if you desire to use it as a alarm to wake you up.
from www.amazon.com
it's made from a very light plastic, so i'm just trying to be careful not to drop it or be rough with it.
from www.amazon.com
i cannot really comment on the radio but the stronger channels on am did come in fine without any problem...we did not get this item for its music/radio features so i really do not care too much

the sound tracks do repeat and if you listen too carefully, you will notice it.
