Sony ICF-C218

$17.00 Est. at Amazon

from JEB from Capitol Heights, MD., www.circuitcity.com
every feature was functional, eg.
from www.amazon.com
even though this clock radio really only functions as a clock, with the $11 price, it's well worth it.
from www.amazon.com
anyway, once it is carefully tuned to a station with noise minimized, it is a very functional clock radio.
from www.amazon.com
the engineer in me is always impressed when a product performs well, has good build quality, and demonstrates that its designers considered all the details.
from www.amazon.com
the product looks and functions as advertised.

RCA RP 5400

Check Site at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it has all the basic functions, dual alarms, enough heft to feel it will stay on the nightstand and it gets, loud and clear, my favorite radio station.
from www.amazon.com
this clock is easy to set and has several sleep functions such as nap and snooze.
from www.amazon.com
wish it came in colors or was super stylish design, however, in this case, function is worth losing style
from www.amazon.com
i love the two alarms and the nap function is fantastic.
from www.amazon.com
- during power outage, alarms still function, but display turns off (on battery)

Sony ICF-C318 AM/FM

$21.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
also for the radio to function properly, it needs to be away from cell phones and other such devices that may cause interference.
from www.amazon.com
with dual controls allowing beep or radio wakeup, and the radio function it is great.
from www.amazon.com

Sangean RCR-22

$69.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the user manual on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired and does not even describe all of the functionality (i have discovered it playing with the clock radio).
from www.amazon.com
it's written clearly for the sole purposes of function and efficiency.
from www.amazon.com
i am pleased with how it functions and would buy it again if need be.
from www.amazon.com
the radio function is very clear and and buzzer alarm is not overbearing as some.
from www.amazon.com
the clock functions well and reliably as advertised but has two features that are somewhat annoying.

Aluratek AIRMM01 Internet Radio Alarm Clock

$139.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i will probably keep the radio if it keeps functioning but might have reconsidered the purchase versus another brand if i had been able to do some 'hands on' comparison.
from www.amazon.com
as for the alarm function i love the way it slowly turns up the volume when set on the radio alarm function (much less startling than my old sony).
from www.amazon.com
it has buttons for all the functions and a nice layout.
from www.amazon.com
i have not gotten into the media server function but as an internet radio this is absolutely amazing!
from www.amazon.com
all the radio functions worked as the manufactured indicated.

Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo Radio

Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo (Mist) Radio

$140.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i would have no problems recommending this for a living area, but for strictly a clock-radio function, you should be able to find something with a better display.
from www.amazon.com
the snooze function on the clock is very cool, though i think they could have made setting the alarm functions more intuitive.
from www.amazon.com
i expected a clock radio which would function in that capacity, and which my wife and i could hear for news and weather, etc.
from www.amazon.com
it arrived in good order and functions without flaw.
from www.amazon.com
i also do not like the sleep function on this one as well.

Boston Acoustics AM/FM Ipoddock Black

$90.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
simple to use, with the added convenience of the radio function, and my wife thinks it sounds better than the bose.
from www.amazon.com
first you spin a dial to choose the function (ipod, fm, clock adjust, alarm adjust, etc.) then a second dial to adjust that function.
from www.amazon.com
never used this function more than once on the first unit, just listened to the radio.
from www.amazon.com
it would still play music though the luna, but the alarm function became terribly erratic: sometimes the alarm system would awaken me to music, sometimes to the alarm buzzer, regardless of what
from www.amazon.com
i don't use the alarm clock functions, so can't comment on that, but the most important feature for me is audio quality - and duo-i supremely succeeds!

Timex T612S

$54.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the timer function is easily used, set to even minutes; it counts down in seconds and sufficiently louder than the radio volume to gain your attention.
from www.amazon.com
it is convenient to operate with additional functions of a clock and timer.
from www.amazon.com
very pleased with product and performance.
from www.amazon.com
this is our second attempt at finding a decent sounding and functional undercounter radio for our kitchen.
from www.amazon.com
this isn't the most stylish player on the market but it has to be up there for one of the most functional, especially for the price.

from www.amazon.com
i have bought sony products for years and have been extremely happy with each product i have purchased, due to its durability, cost, functions and reliability.

it takes a little study in the instruction sheet to figure out all the functions, but once you have seen the sequence and function of the buttons it seems natural.
from www.amazon.com
i am very pleased with the performance of this radio/cd player.

i tried out the alarm to wake up to music from my ipod, but that one function doesn't work.

Eton Sound100 AM/FM Radio XD432BLK

$140.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
maybe that was not the market segment originally intended, as it is awkward at those functions.
from www.amazon.com
however, i purchased this for it's radio/aux functions, for which it is very satisfactory.
from www.amazon.com
admittedly it's not a stylistic or color match, but if it's functional, close enough.)
from www.amazon.com
for me, that wasn't a problem because i was able to neutralize the excessive base with my mp3 player's custom eq function.
from bizzimommi, www.shopping.com
pros: amazing sound, compact size, different color choices available, easy to program, alarm function, remote

RCA RPC100

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the sound quality aspect is secondary for me, so my expectations are realistic (primary interest is the clock/alarm design and overall functionality).
from www.amazon.com
easy to use buttons and functions.
from www.amazon.com
if you even just lightly brush or even just blow on the 'nap' or 'snooze' buttons, it engages that function.

RCA RP5415

$25.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
for functionality at the price and attractive looks and geat tuning sensitivity i give it 5 stars.
from www.amazon.com
i like the look of this alarm clock and the radio function (surprisingly good sound) along with two alarms.
from www.qvc.com
i will still keep it as the other features do function and the price was too low to pay shipping for exchanges.
from www.amazon.com
i have not plugged my mp3 player into it so cannot say how that function performs.
from www.amazon.com
item appeared as it appears in photos, except the light-up display was non-functional, rendering the device worthless.
