C Crane C CSW Clock Radio with Snooze Alarm
From C. Crane

This phenomenal radio offers the best combination of sensitivity, selectivity and audio performance ever for any radio of this price and size. Shortwave is excellent right off the whip antenna. The five-inch speaker is accurate, pleasant and reproduces deeper bass than any portable of similar size. This radio also features RF gain control, bandwidth control, bass and treble controls, fast and slow tuning, 50 station memories, lighted buttons, a clock radio with snooze alarm, stereo line output and a headphone jack. It runs on four D-size batteries or four backup AA batteries (not included). The built-in charging circuit will recharge optional NiMh batteries right inside the radio, saving you both time and money. AC adapter and antenna connectors are also included.

Great cousin of the CC Radio
I've been a fan of the original CC Radio Plus for a few years... but now the latest addition to the family is rising up the ranks.

The CC Radio SW, adding shortwave but removing the TV & Weather band, is as good (or better) than its CC-cousin. With many of the same features, incl., lighted dial, alarm & snooze functions, as well as terrific AM reception...and excellent sound, it outperforms most portables of similar size. It has many of the same extras as the Grundig S250, incl., an AM RF Gain knob. Also, separate switches for local & distant AM reception, in addition to operating on 2 types of batteries!! Either 4 AA's or 4 'D size. When plugged-in to the AC adapter, it has the ability to charge the batteries. This of course is only useful if you're using rechargeable cells in the unit. I haven't had this long enough to give a comment on battery usage, although if the key-pad lights are used too often, that will help to drain them quicker. The tuning ability is excellent. The large knob is easy to control and the ability to switch between slow & fast tuning (plus locking it on a frequency) is a nice addition. Another plus; it's very lightweight, and the built in (pop up)handle makes for easy transport.

The only gripes I have is that the small function buttons are a bit difficult to decipher at first due to the tiny print, and I wish there was a way to "lock out" the backlight display when tuning stations, on battery-power... like there is on the original CC.

If you like the CC Radio... you'll like this. Or, if you already have a Grundig, or similar brand, you may want to try the CC Radio SW!

The Best FM of Any Radio I've Owned and AM is also Great
I live in Los Angeles where 103.1, 89.3, and 88.9 FM stations can cause problems with most radios. This is not the case with the C.Crane CSW, a rebadged Kaito 2100, which I had to return after it went bonkers in first 3 weeks.

After a month, the CSW is still going strong and I hope my previous clone was a rare lemon.

CSW Performance:

The FM is the best I've ever experienced, better than my Eton S350DL (excellent) and Kaito 1103 (excellent). Evidencing its strong FM, it does not even need its telescopic antenna fully extended to grab hard to get stations.

AM is also very strong, much better than my Eton S350DL (very good) and a tad less powerful than my Sangean PR-D5. However, the advantage of the CSW over the PR-D5 is that the CSW has AM filters so you can fine-tune RF grain if you're getting AM overload. I haven't had overload problems on my PR-D5, but my friend who lives 2 miles away did have this problem and he was glad to sell his PR-D5 and replace it with the CSW.

Ergonomics

This is a bit weak in regard to preset memories which are half-baked. A radio of this caliber should have direct key entry. Another annoyance: The preset memory button scrolls upwards only so you have to scroll through all 10 presets before getting to the one you want. You'll get to your station just as quickly using the high-speed manual tuning dial.

Sound

The sound is loud, full, but a little flat and some say "harsh." This is not "high fidelity." If you're looking for warm lush sound and don't need short wave, you should check out the Boston Acoustics Horizon Solo ($90-100) or the Sangean PR-D5 ($80).

While not a great music radio, the CSW has treble and bass controls and I find that turning up the treble helps with music.

I think most radio buyers will be better served getting the $80 PR-D5, which gets better AM (but no filters) and 95% of the CSW's FM strength. But if you want SW and want the best FM I've ever tested, the CSW is well worth the $139 price tag.

Beautiful Sound, Poor Ergonomics, Terrible Quality
The CCRadio SW probably has the fullest and richest sound of any portable AM/FM/shortwave radio presently available. I like to set the treble and bass controls both on full, which provides for a beautiful tone for listening to classical music. The sensitivity and selectivity of AM, FM, and shortwave is excellent, and the window provides a large lighted display of the frequency or time.

Now the down side. The buttons, which are quite small, take two or even three tries before they respond. One has to wonder if this might worsen with years of use. The lack of SSB is a terrible omission for shortwave listening. Worst of all, though, is the lack of key pad entry. I realize that old school SWLers won't mind this, but in the digital age it's an unpardonable fault. The frequency can be adjusted only by means of a tempermental scanner or by turning the wheel at one of two speeds, while skipping around using a switch that divides the entire shortwave band into three segments. I find this to be a constant annoyance, since the divisions cannot be over ridden - say - by holding down the scanner. Instead, after reaching the high end of the band division, the frequency jumps back to the bottom again, and then continues in the same direction. In order to reach the other two divisions, you have to turn a switch. This is simply stupid. In addition, the memory system is just terrible. In fact, every time I decide to give this radio a second chance, I begin scanning the shortwave band, but then quickly switch to my Sangean 909, which is so simple to use. I've done this over and over again.

In general, this is an excellent radio for those who listen only to a few stations and leave it at that. But I definitely wouldn't recommend it for the constant scanning that one does with AM or shortwave DXing.

In my opinion, the CCRadio SW has been far over-rated. Again, it excels in the essentials of sound and reception, but it suffers from poor ergonomics. It also lacks the versatility that one expects from modern shortwave radios. In addition, after only a few months my unit developed a major problem with distortion, which made it unusable. The same problem seems to be common with this radio. I'm shipping it back to C. Crane for repairs, and wouldn't mind if I never see it again.

Hopefully, with the next version of this radio, the flaws and omissions will be corrected but the sound the same. For now, however, I could not enthusiastically recommend the CCRadio SW, except to those who listen to the same few stations, and leave it at that.

UPDATE: Because it was under warranty, C. Crane did not charge me for the repairs. The radio is now working fine. The receipt says that the RF board was replaced. C. Crane's service was quick and cordial. This is the advantage of buying a radio from an actual company, rather than from an impersonal virtual network like Amazon!

SECOND UPDATE: The problem has returned as bad as ever, so I've thrown the radio in the trash. Done! I would down grade my rating to one star.

Good but not pefect
I was looking to replace a 20 year old GE 4880 clock radio - it had a numeric keypad for entering times and radio frequencies. Very easy to set up a different time. The SOny looked to be a good replacement. So far, it's doing a good job but there are a few shortcomings.

Pro:
Two alarms
Easy to set times
Easy to tell which alarms are active
Each alarm can use a different radio station
Auto time set works well

Con:
So-so fidelity - needs a better speaker
Display hard to see unless at right angle
Too easy to accidently move volume control

Very nice overall
Pros:
Nice looking housing and display.
Atomic clock syncs up nicely for me.
Fairly intuitive buttons.
Dual alarm display, very easy to see which alarms are active.
"Snoozinator" a very handy feature.
Total snooze time not limited to an hour: if you keep whacking the snooze bar, it'll keep in snooze mode. (This is in contrast to several other clocks I've tried recently which just leave snooze mode, with no warning. You end up late and angry.) The manual implies otherwise, but the "1 hr maximum snooze" refers to maximum time between alarms using Snoozinator .

Cons:
No day-of-the-week or weekday settings. Not a big deal for me.
No battery backup. Better yet, I wish they'd use non-volatile memory, or at least a good size capacitor, in these things so it would just hold settings.
Radio quality just ok, but that's not a big concern of mine.
Not the greatest wake tones, and no "humane" waking option, doesn't bother me.
Display hard to read in the dark at the two dimmest settings.

Very dissapointed...
I normally am very pleased with sony products, but this one has been very dissappointing. It has (in the middle of the night) re-set itself to the wrong time on numerous occasions. Just this morning I fed the baby at what I thought was 4:30 am. It looked too light outside so I checked another clock and sure enough, it was actually 6:30am. My husband, who normally wakes up at 5:30 am, was late for work this morning. This has happened several times.

Great Simple Alarm Clock
I bought this to replace my old alarm clock. It has a sleek design that takes up very little space. It has two alarms and can be set to radio, beeps or songs and has an adjustable snooze setting. The built in radio works well and there's a sleep setting so that if you like to fall asleep to the radio you can have it automatically shut off after a certain amount of time.

It has an adjustable brightness level, but I found its default/highest level to be suitable. At that level it's bright enough to see in the dark, but not bright enough to keep me up. The alarm is easy to wake up to and gradually gets louder on the beep setting. It automatically set itself to the correct time and date as soon as I plugged it in, all I had to do is set the time zone. It has a DST feature that can be turned off or on.

The only feature lacking is the ability to customize the alarm for either weekdays, weekends or both. It's not a big deal, especially with two alarms but it would have been nice. Overall I'm very pleased with this alarm clock.

Decent Alarm Clock
Decent alarm clock for the price.
Pros: inexpensive, preset time, dst auto adjust, battery backup for power failure, easy to tune radio stations, easy to read display, brightness of display is adjustable.
Cons: Alarm "A" can be set to chime or radio, Alarm "B" can only be set to chime or an electronic tune. Both alarms cannot be set to the radio. Cannot adjust or view the alarm setpoint unless the alarm is turned on, so when you pass the current time the alarm activates. Radio sound is poor but in line with the price of the alarm clock. The snooze can increased from 10 min to 20 min to 30 min etc, but if you hit the snooze button twice while initially silencing the alarm, you go straight to the 20 min snooze.
Overall: a good alarm clock for the price but I would have paid more for a full featured clock radio had I know its limitations up front.

BASIC BUT GOOD
The item description is very accurate. If you want a dual alarm clock radio similar to those from 10 years ago, that is exactly what you will get and that is why I ordered it. Nothing fancy, just basic but with the Sony dependability. There are a few nice things though - the time is preset, options for the dual alarms sound, adjustable brightness, battery backup, very easy to operate and the AM radio actually works well, unlike other clock radios. This clock radio has no frills but for the price, it is good and dependable.

Up with the birds
I've used this alarm clock for several years and have found it reliable and easy to use. Curiously, Amazon has a duplicate entry for the item and it's the other entry that has several user reviews. Anyone interested in this clock should type "singing alarm clock" into Amazon's search box with the Health & Personal Care category selected for those comments. Most people, I think, will find the clock's chirping and cooing much more pleasant than an irritating buzz, although some may find its features unnecessary.

   

XM-Ready Alarm Clock Radio - Silver
From Timex

• Color: Silver
• Brand: Timex

Timex XM Clock-Radio
XM Radio is a direct line-of-sight system. If you drive under a bridge you lose the signal, etc.

All external XM radio antennas do not fit the Timex XM antenna port. I bought the Belkin, but it does not fit. The radio is really "XM Ready" which translates into you need the special "connect & play" antenna. The Audiovox "connect & play" antenna fits (but apparently not sold by Target).

The store really has the responsibility to tell you about essential add-ons needed to make something work.

After an hour of trying to line the antenna up (they want a south facing window), I get 0-5 bars intermittently. I can see why XM Radio sees its' primary market as autos. Of course I have lots of trees, so your situation may be different.

The clock-radio comes with a large, heavy external in-line DC power converter.

Luckily the display has a dimmer switch because the full power 'call for Batman" display will light up a room at night.

The remote control is not fully explained in the instructions. If the clock-radio unit is set to memory A, for example, then the remote keypad will only select Memory A presets, i.e. you cannot key in "78." You can select DIRECT, A, B, C with the rotating switch, but it would be fairly difficult to see the screen to know what you were selecting at any distance.

The oddest thing is you cannot set the clock-radio to a channel then turn off-on and get the channel back (as you can in a car XM radio). Since I bought this as a gift for my 91 year-old Mom, this is actually quite a serious flaw.

If you phone in your XM radio activation, be prepared for 30 minutes of script reading once you navigate the menus. Probably best to do online. XM Radio is frankly hostile to regular billing; they want a checking account number or credit card to auto bill. They really want you to pre-pay for 5 years. Even when you say "no," you're going to get in-depth "why nots." Afterall who knows where XM radio will be in 5 years?

The radio has a lot of nice features (more than my car radio I think). Average clock-radio sound. No treble-bass controls, but choice of Rock, Classic, etc. EQ. Plain hard-wired wire FM antenna. You can hook up an MP3 to it.

Very good XM/Alarm combo
I have been using this product for about 6 months and have had no issues with it.

Be aware that it does not come with an XM antenna. I got mine in a package deal through another source so this wasn't and issue for me.

FM reception is clear. XM reception is clear as long as you follow the basic XM guideline of a clear view of the southern sky. Lots of programmable buttons. You get a full 10 numbers so you can directly enter the channel number of the XM stations. With three different brightness levels, the dimming screen is very nice so that you aren't blinded at night. It has an aux port so that you can plug another audio source up to it. I keep a Zune dock plugged into it.

Also the clock can be synced with the XM satellites so that you know the time you see is the time it actually is.

The only negative that I have found is that once you turn the XM Radio off, it does not remember what channel it was on the next time you turn it on and defaults to XM Channel 1. Its not a major concern as i have most of my favorite channels programmed to a button.

A very good Wake-To-XM clock radio.
A well-conceived clock radio! I wanted a clock radio with XM, and with an output to feed the signal to my bedroom stereo. This has both features, and the quality of the XM audio is quite satisfactory.

Modes are AM/FM/XM/AuxIn. Both alarms fade in and can be set to wake to any mode. There are several tuning methods, including the twist dial in front which I find to be convenient. I have not experienced a problem with the radio not remembering the station when it is turned off.

The time is backed up by two "AA" batteries. The backlight will turn off and the time & date will continuted to be displayed after power loss. Also, the during a power loss the alarm will revert to a high-pitched beeper but it will still sound. How cool is that?

I was already signed up for XM ($10/mo for 3 yrs up front), so the extra subscription was $7/mo. I can sign up for 3 more XM radios at no additional charge. There is also a $15 "set up fee".

I ordered this and the required XM antenna (I'm using the Audiovox CNP-1000 XM antenna) from a different vendor for a better price. They actually forced me to refuse the CNP-1000 explicity (which I did not, of course) so that customers would not forget the extra piece required to make XM work. Just Google this Timex clock radio and you'll find them.

I'm usually slow to sign up for this kind of thing, but I don't get good radio reception out here, and I enjoy XM's variety of programming. Sirius is good as well - they have pro football, XM has college.

Overall, I think it is functional and not too complicated. Most functions are directly accessed by buttons, rather than scrolling through endless menus. I might have made the Power button more prominent. I've always preferred twist-dial style tuning; you can give it a good spin if you're really disgusted with the current offering. Looks nice, too!

   

Oregon Scientific BAR338PA ExactSet Projection Clock with Cable-Free Weather Forecaster
From Oregon Scientific

With the Oregon Scientific BAR338PA ExactSet Projection Alarm Clock you can keep your pretty little head on the pillow in the morning. Just tap the snooze button & the clock will momentarily project the time on the wall or ceiling in soft red light. You can even rotate the projector forward 90 degrees if needed. And being an ExactSet clock, it automatically sets it's own time, day, & date via the US Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. It automatically connects to the Atomic Clock 6 times a day via it's built-in radio receiver. It even adjusts for Daylight Savings Time & Leap Year. Day-of-week in one of 3 languages - English, French, Spanish Alarm - Crescendo Battery Type - 2 AAA

• Dimensions: 4.36" h x 6.32" w x 1.56" l, 1.56 pounds

This versatile system forecasts local weather; automatically sets and updates the time, day, and date; keeps track of the indoor temperature; and employs a remote, wireless sensor to record the outdoor temperature up to 100 feet away. For forecasting weather within 12 to 24 hours, the 6-1/4-by-4-1/4-inch monitor employs a built-in electronic barometric-pressure sensor and then displays the upcoming weather with an icon (sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, rain/snow) on its backlit LCD screen. For keeping track of time, the monitor is equipped with a radio receiver tuned to the U.S. atomic clock; this enables the monitor to maintain split-second accuracy by automatically adjusting, if necessary, to the atomic clock's signals six times every 24 hours. From those signals, the monitor also displays the date, the day, and the time zone for which the user has set the clock. Also, the clock automatically adjusts for daylight saving time and for leap year. The monitor beams the time and the outdoor temperature onto a wall or ceiling in large, red numerals for easy readability. If the monitor is in battery-mode (four AA batteries included), pressing the clock's snooze bar will beam the data for five seconds. If the monitor is plugged into a wall socket with an AC adapter (included), the projection will be available either for five seconds with the snooze bar or continuously if a continuous-beam control is set. The projection beam comes from a device mounted next to the clock. The device pivots so the beam can be projected onto any surface, and a dial focuses the beam for clarity. You can also choose to have the temperature displayed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. --Fred Brack

Really cool item!
This is one of the best purchases I have made of recent memory. It is one of those gadgets that every person can appreciate. The projection gives you the unique advantage of seeing the time from anywhere in the room. The indiglo is also really cool, if the projection is off. This clock works off batteries (there is an ac adapter for the projector) so it is easy to take with you if you are traveling. I put the outdoor monitor in my window, and I can constantly tell what the temperture and upcoming weather is. The best part is, the clock is tuned into the atomic clock, and is constantly setting itself for accuracy. This little guy is also pretty tough, I have tripped over the cord for the AC adapter twice (I can't tell you how infuriating this is), knocking it hard to my hardwood floor. Its still kicking. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who appreciates a good gadget, I have loved it since I bought it.

Mixed review
As a lover of "gadgets" I was really quite looking forward to this alarm clock. The remote weather sensor, the projection of the time onto a wall, the automatic sync'ing with the atomic clock, and the gradual alarm tone had me convinced that this clock should replace the trusty digital clock that had been at my bedside for a decade. The projection of the time on the wall works well for me and as it turns out, it's the only thing that kept me from returning this clock. I still can't get the remote weather sensor to transmit the temperature to the base. The gradual alarm is alright; it does what is advertised. I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't an option to continuously keep the main display lit its cool blue light. Actually, before they implement that, they need to eliminate the high pitch hum that is audible when the backlight is illuminated. All in all this is a neat gadget but a bit too pricey if you ask me unless you can get all of the features to work.

over-rated
Although there are some cool features on this clock, it doesn't do all that it should. I'll simply list the pros and cons and you can decide for yourself.

Pros:
- you can instantly know the weather outside and the temperature inside.
- the forcast prediction and graphics are remarkably accurate.
- projection on ceiling is very cool at night - you can look straight up as you lie in bed and know the time.

Cons:
- even though it plugs in, the clock runs on batteries. the plug is only for the projection part.
- the alarm wouldn't wake up the lightest sleeper - it's just a little beep like your microwave makes. it just makes them more often as you sleep through it.
- the projection doesn't work at all if any light is on in the room and it's really only usefull on a perpendicular surface - otherwise it's stretched and half out of focus.

So as a second clock and something neat to have, this is fine. Don't get it as your primary alarm clock if you want to make it to work on time and not get fired :-)

GREAT GREAT GREAT
this is the coolest alarm clock in the world it is sooooooo cute and ive had it for like 4 years and i love it and im 12 now.

Hello Kitty Radio
The clock is really cute but it has poor reception. Maybe if it had some form of an antenna it would help. It is hard to get a clear sound. It takes alot of movement to place it in the right spot to get clear reception.

A Great Gift For A Little Girl
This unit is a great gift for a sweet little girl whose bedroom is pink and who has lots of Hello Kitty items. A great addition to her collection. Functional, well designed and well built.

   

Pick Your Color LCD Alarm Clock
From Timex

1.8 Lcd Displayselect From 7 Colorsdisplays Time With Scrolling Seconds Day And Date12/24-hour Clock Format

• Amazon Sales Rank: #9214 in Consumer Electronics

• Dimensions: 4.60" h x 4.00" w x 7.00" l, .85 pounds

Color LCD clock
This clock is everything I was looking for (well, almost - it would be nice if it was atomic as well). It is small and slim, barely takes any space by the bed). The display is large enough to be seen from across the room. Very simple with one alarm (which I rarely would use). It is easy to set (the only drawback is that the numbers only go one way but there is a separate set for hour and minute so it makes it easier). It displays in 12/24 hour mode which is really nice and you can see the seconds going by (which to me is a BIG plus). The colors are very nice (yes, I like to play with this feature) and they set like a puzzle - there are three little buttons that you push in various ways and they determine the color of the display). At night, it is not too bright and you can see the display easily. The date and day feature is helpful as well. Have you ever woken up on a Saturday or Sunday thinking it's a work day? One look at the clock and you won't be confused anymore :) Overall, I am very pleased with this clock and would recommend it for someone who likes simplicity.

IMPRESSIVE ALARM CLOCK. VERY PLEASED!
I am shocked by the previous review of this product. Does the reviewer want his alarm clock to go off ad infinitum. How boring! One would become desensitized.

I just received this clock and find it works perfectly. It is small, yet has a very chic design. Its positive features also are scrolling seconds, day-month-year setting, and if you put it on 24 hours (rather than 12 hours), the am-pm feature changes automatically. Although the clock is small, the numbers on the LCD screen are large. It takes one AAA battery so that if the power goes out, the clock will still keep working. And, of course, there is a little picture of a bell to tell you that your alarm is set.

The alarm is not quiet, yet not raucous either. I think it is at a perfect volume. It goes off for one minute; if you want it again, it will return in five minutes if you push the snooze button. It sounds more frequently as the minute progresses. Quite frankly, if you can sleep through all that, then perhaps you need a fire alarm. That should get you going!

I had great fun with the LCD screen color selector. There are seven colors to choose from: red, white, yellow, green, two shades of blue (aqua and royal) and purple. After trying them all (I felt like a kid in a toy shop!), I decided on the purple because, although I could see the numbers on the screen clearly from across the room, it cast the least light within the room, and I prefer a dark room to sleep in. It's also a very pretty shade. Makes you feel good.

The only feature I wish were different is the bar which you slide to place your settings. I am used to digital buttons, and they are slightly easier to use (they were on my old clock which recently expired). However, although a little more attention is required to make these settings, there are so many pluses to this product that it really doesn't matter to me.

It suits me very well and I am glad I ignored the negative review and ordered it anyway. This morning I woke up just fine!

"12/24-hour clock format"
As ANTOnline would not answer my inquiry, I will post my own response. I just received my clock today, and am very pleased.

As a clock standard, it is powered by AC (120V 60 Hz) with a AAA 1.5V DC backup. The display is 1.8" x 4.75", and the color option is incredibly easy to set. 3 locking buttons, one for each color setting, RGB (button down for on, up for off), 7 choices (technically 8, because if none are lit, it displays a visible shade of black, but who wants a black display on a black background).

The most important feature (I feel), is the 12/24-hour clock format. How many people have been late at one time or another because we accidently set the alarm for pm instead of am? That's exactly why I only buy alarm clocks with the 24-hour format. Reading 24-hour format is no sweat. Ignore the 10's place, and subtract 2. Once you get used to looking at the time at certain hours, you remember what hundred hours is what pm.

This clock is an excellent value, and I highly recommend it.

Coolest Alarm clock radio by far!
This is a great looking alarm clock. Small and compact and very modern looking. The screen is very easy to read at night and day with a cool orange/amber backround with black numbers which has 3 different brightness levels. I found it very easy to operate, as far as setting the time, alarm, and other settings, Didn't even need to read the manual. A very nice touch to this clock is the "illuminating" light which you can have on or off on the bottom of the unit. The 4 melody alarms are great if you prefer not to wake up to the conventional buzzer or radio (which it has as well). The price is a little steep for this clock but the build quality and many features of this little guy more than make up for it. You wont be disappointed.

Solid clock
I searched way too much looking for the perfect clock radio, my wife would say "too much." I finally settled on this Sony due to features and looks and have been very pleased with my purchase.

PROS: Very nice looking clock, tuner works great, love the presets, small size, dual alarm, digital tuning, dimmer, and more.

CONS: A few too many buttons, no battery backup, no atomic clock synchonization.

Poor excuse for a radio, but a cute clock
This is a cute little clock that is easy to set. The radio controls are easy to use, but the near station rejection is so poor that a single strong signal takes over nearly the entire FM tuning range. My old (circa 1966)analog tuned clock radio works much better.

   

Philips AJ3231 Mirror Finish Clock Radio
From Philips Consumer Electronics

Philips elegant mirror display clock radio with dim-light mode makes this an ideal bedside companion. Built in AM/FM radio for wake up calls, and a line-in connection for your portable music player.

• Amazon Sales Rank: #1308 in Consumer Electronics
• Brand: Philips
• Model: AJ3231/37
• Dimensions: 5.50" h x 5.50" w x 2.40" l, 2.00 pounds

Beautiful but lacks functionality
Pros:
*Gorgeous contemporary design with mirror and stainless steel look. The LED display magically floats in the mirror.
*Very low level brightness yet perfectly legible and without glare. Many alarm clocks are way too bright even on dim settings. If the brightness of alarm clocks bothers you, this clock should work well for you.
*Easy to figure out without instructions which makes it a viable option for guest bedrooms.

Cons:
*When adjusting the alarms, there is no indication on the LED display which alarm you are adjusting. Compounding this problem is when you turn on an alarm, there is no way to see what time the alarm is set for. It's far too easy to adjust one alarm and turn on the other by mistake. This is a MAJOR negative. The display also doesn't tell you if the alarm is set for buzzer or radio. The lack of information on the display makes it impossible to adjust in the dark.
*No fast reverse. To adjust times, there is a fast forward button and a slow reverse button. I like clocks that also have fast reverse which makes changing alarm times easier and quicker.
*Slide controls are small and difficult to use. The distance between settings is very small so it can be frustrating.
*Buzzer volumes are not adjustable. Alarm 1 is set at a low volume which is very quiet and might not work for sound sleepers. Alarm 2 is slightly louder but it's still quieter than any other alarm clock I've used. With both alarms, you do have the option of waking up with radio which is volume adjustable and gets very loud.
*No gradually increasing alarm volume.
*Radio is not digital (Amazon description states it is digital but that is incorrect). Not a major issue but the dial is small so it's hard to know what station you're on.
*No nap function.
*The audio cable in the back doesn't stay in the holder and flops around annoyingly.
*Snooze not adjustable (set at 7 minutes).

Overall, this alarm clock would work well in a guest bedroom where style is of paramount importance. For your main alarm clock, you should consider something with better functionality.

Pretty and Pretty Basic
The last thing I want to do when I wake up is look in the mirror. However, even thought this Philips Alarm Clock's face is mostly one large mirror, it still looks sleek. The time is shown through the mirrored surface in bright yellow with adjustable brightness. It looks great, stands vertically about six inches and has all the basic features of a typical alarm clock. However, don't get too excited.

My previous alarm clock was easy to just reach over and slam the snooze button until I was ready to wake up. The snooze here is not so easy to find being a small tab on the top. There are two alarms (typical) that you can set to the radio, a buzz (one second beep tones) or off. They are difficult to set as the front display does not show you which setting is which. The font is very hard to read, being a tiny gray typeset on a black background. The other side contains the volume wheel, a radio tuner for AM/FM and a small dial to find radio stations (Look at the photo I included for size comparison). There is also an AUX setting as you can hook up your iPod/MP3 in the back. The cord for the iPod/MP3 is supposed to fit snugly around the back, but the slot it was designed for is too short, so the cord hangs loose. The top has the small linear tabs for `On/Off', `alarm reset' and `sleep'. The largest tab is the `Repeat Alarm/Sleep Off' on top. Its very compact, but not the easiest to set up. Do note that you need bright light to work any of the setup functions; not a dark room.

Aside from the small settings and type, this Philips Clock does look nice with the mirror finish and yellow clock shining through. That is it's sales quality. The materials are all plastic and I wonder if it could survive a drop to the floor. The 1.5" speaker is not Hi-Fidelity. Other than the appearance, there isn't much else going on here, so you might think about keeping your current alarm clock. It just looks good. Think about that with the price.

Nice & Pretty but awkward.
The fit and finish was very nice. The mirror is stylish but I really don't want to see my ugly mug early in morning.

The orange LED was a nice touch. Not as bright as the 'regular' green LED's on most alarm. On dim mode it doesn't light up a dark room.

The MP3 mode leaves something to be desired. If you're in the room with your MP3 player hooked up your OK listening to tunes, but I like waking up to certain music in the morning. I don't know about your MP3 player but I cannot leave it on all night without the battery dying by morning.

It's a cool alarm clock but only adequate for an MP3 Player.

A great price but some basic flaws.
A nice looking product, but form should follow function....and it doesn't perform that well. Clock is somewhat difficult to read...darker than any other led clocks I own. Also, the radio is difficult if not impossible to tune. Most of my favorites come in mixed with another. Alarm works well however. And for $10 what was I expecting?
So it went in the guest room. Let them complain.

Great Clock !!
The size of this clock was just right for me. The LEDS are large and easy to see, with a lite blue color rather than blazing red. The radio works well, has an extended wire antena. You will have to spend a few minutes to read the instructions to learn all of the clocks functions.

Fragile
This is a cool concept, and when it actually did what it's supposed to do (before it broke), it did a great job of getting me out of bed in the morning. The problem is that the area in which you're supposed to place the propeller is too fragile. If you don't press down, the alarm doesn't shut off, and if you press too hard (too hard being moderate pressure; I do not have concrete hands), the parts that spin the propeller break.

Can't go to sleep without it
Before purchasing this, I'd always wake up to my alarm, shut it off, and fall asleep again. I simply had to find a solution to this, else I'd be late every day of the year. I browsed online for a solution, and found this alarm clock; a nifty way of forcing you to not just wake up, but get out of bed. After viewing other products with a similar slogan costing twice as much, it was a no-brainer. I'd have to say the alarm is plenty loud enough to wake anyone, and when combined with my dog jumping over me to attack the device, it's a sure fire way of waking up each morning. The only fault would be that the flying piece lands on top off me, instead of flying to the other end of my room. But this doesn't really matter much, I find it very difficult to fall back to sleep after being woken by this.

Design flaws make this alarm clock less effective than it could be.
Have trouble getting up in the morning? Then the Flying Alarm Clock may just be the product for you. For me, however, it was not. The clock works simply enough: the base has a motor that spins the top part at a designated time, causing the top to fly up for a few seconds. When positioned on my nightstand, it would always fly up and land on my wife's face (not good). When I tried putting it on the carpet on the opposite side of the room, I learned that the speaker is on the bottom of the base, and placing it on the carpet makes the alarm inaudible (very not good). The base is elevated, so there is no problem hearing the alarm when it is set on a hard, flat surface.

The RP5605 CD clock radio by RCA is the perfect companion in the morning. The AM/FM clock radio has a large 0.6-inch LED display that makes it easy to see and read.

The simple alarm button layout eliminates any confusion and ensures that setting the alarm will be easy. The top-loading CD player also is easy to access.

Good clock for the money
I am very happy with this clock radio/CD player. I especially like that the time can be set forward and backward and that the time display is easy to see without the light from it keeping me awake. The radio and CD player sound fine for what I use it for and for the price. The control buttons are in a good location and easy to use in the dark, once you know where everything is.

Decent for the price
I got this cheap alarm clock hoping it's two speakers would sound better than my even cheaper alarm clock with one speaker. It does but not by much. The CD player is very quiet but I find that the buttons are rather loud. Changing the alarm time at night will often wake my wife. The CD always starts at the beginning when using the alarm so I found it helpful to make my own CDs with a different wake-up song on each one.


Pros

Controls are strait forward and function well
Quiet CD player
Easy to read display

Cons

Loud buttons
Sort of ugly

Simple, cheap, quiet, just what we wanted.
We bought and tried several different units that all had different deficiences. This does have only one alarm setting but that's okay since we only get up once a day. The display is red with a black background so there is no glow keeping you awake half of the night. The CD motor is the quietest of 5 units that we tried. We have no problems with the volume. It stays where we put it for falling asleep to the CD and waking to the radio. Don't get hung up on the bells and whistles that you'll never need, this works great.

   

Sangean RCR-1 Advanced Atomic Clock Radio - Silver
From Sangean

AM/FM ANALOG/DIGITAL ATOMIC CLOCK RADIO

• Amazon Sales Rank: #38034 in Consumer Electronics
• Color: Silver
• Brand: Sangean
• Model: RCR1SIL
• Number of items: 1
• Dimensions: 7.50" h x 8.50" w x 8.50" l, 2.90 pounds

This sleek, self-setting atomic clock radio offers a blend of style, features, and performance that will perfectly accent any home or office. The clock automatically adjusts itself to radio signals received from the U.S. atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado, so you're always ensured accurate and reliable time. It even makes adjustments for Daylight Savings time.

A easy-to-read LCD shows time, date, and day of the week, as well as sleep times, wake times, and--of course--nap times. The RCR-1 also boasts an inset, German-made analog clock for easier reading, which synchronizes itself with the LCD's displayed time.

Living with someone else who needs an alarm? You can set and use the RCR-1's two alarms completely independently, with selectable days and the option to wake to a radio or buzzer. The alarm volume starts softly then gradually increases. The radio's ATS system locates stations and automatically establishes memory presets. What's in the Box
Alarm clock radio and a user's manual.

Outstanding Clock Radio but...
This clock radio is OUTSTANDING!!! (and it looks great). The time accuracy (atomic clock) is beyond compare. The AM/FM PLL synthesized radio is static free and has excellent sound. Not stereo, but still pleasing! The unit is feature-laden. I love the "Humane Waking System" which gradually ramps up the sound for both alert/radio alarms so as not to jolt you out of bed. I'm a very heavy sleeper, and the adjustable volume for both alarms makes it plenty loud to get up. The independence of both alarms makes this extremely convenient for husband/wife and weekday/weekend settings. Another nice feature is the "nap" function. Set it and the alarm goes off from 10 minutes to 2 hours later, without having to touch the normal alarms. The background light display is a pleasing pastel blue, which changes to orange leting you know that the alarm is serious! The adjustability of the display is excellent, including a dimmer at the push of a button, and completely off if you so desire. I could go on and on about the features of this unit. However, here is where the "but" comes in...the instruction manual is not the most clearly written. The most serious problem, in my opinion, was not being able to pick up the atomic signal. Sure the instruction manual warns you that it might take up to 48 hours to receive the signal. It also warns you that the unit might need to be repositioned to receive the signal. I was frustrated after not getting the signal for a couple of days. Then I noticed that the back of the radio has a circular slot for the rectangular "block-shaped" atomic signal antenna. Once I put the antenna in the slot, the signal was received, and has been maintained ever since. This was NOT stated in the instruction manual. Another minor criticism is there are 14 (7 AM and 7FM) presets, not 21 as stated in the manual. 14 is more than enough for me. The alarm instructions took some patience to learn. These criticisms of the instruction manual should in no way detract from the features and quality of the product, both of which are excellent. Buy this and you will be extremely happy. Just be patient and fiddle around with it. Nothing beats trial and error when it comes to high-tech gadgets.

Decent product, but I'd recommend you get a different one.
All in all, a decent clock radio that I'm not altogeter unhappy I purchased. But there are a few oddities to bear in mind and I'd probably buy a different model if I had to do it all over again.

I have very good eyes, but even for me both of the clock displays are very hard to read when the room lights are off. The backlit digital clock doesn't have an adjustable contrast. This means that it's only legible in a darkened room if you have good eyes and are looking at it from a narrow range of angles slightly above horizontal. It can be a real problem if you're trying to see it off-angle, without glasses, or bleary-eyed from sleep. The advertising pictures you see on Amazon and Sangean's websites imply rock-solid sharp and easy to read displays and that just isn't the case.

The atomic clock receiver isn't the strongest and can be a bit flaky initially, but I can get a signal in our brick/concrete/steel frame condo which I think must be an unusually difficult environment. When I first set it up it took about a day to lock in, but I've had no troubles since then.

The FM radio has good reception. Not miraculous, but considerably better than the previous Panasonic radio we tried in the same space.

The alarm is very useful, easy to program complex times into it, and easy to deal with routine alaram/snooze/wake functions. But as other reviewers have pointed out, you cannot easily instruct the alarm not to go off if you wake up before it goes off. Instead, you need to enter the main alarm program menu, deprogram the alarm for which ever day of the week it is, and then remember to come back to the clock after the alarm time passes to reprogram it for that same day of the week. This is such a nuisance we generally don't do it.

Sangean RCR1 Clock Radio
Overall, the Sangean RCR-1 clock radio is awesome. (For me, it replaced the "Sunrise alarm clock" by Sharper image that I found sorely wanting in quality and features). The Sangean atomic clock radio, however, was hardly wanting in any area. See below for my comments.

Advantages:
-small footprint: takes up half the space on your nightstand versus most clock radios
-atomic time synchronization: this works perfectly and is very accurate
-automatic tuning: sets station preset buttons automatically based on signal strength
-very cool looks
-adjustable illumination from very bright to nearly off
-gradual increase in volume of either alarm tone or radio to gently wake you from sleep
-reasonable radio sound fidelity, not "tinny" like many clock radios
-value: try finding another clock radio so feature-laden for this price. I tried... nothing else came close.

Disadvantages:
-difficult to read digital display at night (you can simply read the analog display, or turn up the illumination)
-my wife says the receiving bar for the atomic signal that attaches to the back of the unit is ugly. It is hidden but would be even better if it were internal

Why I didn't give it 5 stars:
I almost did! But it felt a little dishonest to do so since I did list two weaknesses. Nevertheless, I find these weaknesses to be minor, especially given all the huge advantages above. I have been exceedingly happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone looking for a unique clock radio with the above features.
