Clock-Radio Reviews

Like the other person, I also bought mine as a replacement. I think that the sound is somewhat muffled and the display is way too bright. The only thing that I would do to change that otherwise fine clock radio is add a dimmer switch. Other than that, it is a great radio. It was well priced, and the dual alarms are a great thing to have. I am a student, so I need one to set for the weekdays and one for the weekends and such. The only thing is that display. It is so bright that you can almost read by it sometimes.

I recently purchased this item as a replacement for another GE alarm clock I had for 13 years. This model has a great sound, is easy to operate and I love the dual alarm feature. I use the second alarm on weekends or for naps. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a new clock radio or as a replacement.

Overall, the RCA clock works quite well. I have a little trouble waking up with the alarm...doesn't get loud until the end. But, it is well worth the money!

In addition to the features listed in the product review, this radio also has a battery back up. The front panel is huge, angled, and hard (impossible) to set things on. The displayed numbers are smallish. Reception can be very sensative to how the power cord is routed. Despite the few disadvantages, I like this clock radio, especially the digital seek tuning with 10 presets. It appears that it has the capability for the two alarms to tune to different stations, but I didn't test it.

Nice, small, good featured radio. Only thing I don t like is you cannot silently set the alarm, it makes some annoying beeps when you try to set it, at least I haven't figured out how not to. But it is a very nice clock and the radio sounds good too.

This is a great little clock radio. Very compact. It is extremely easy to set. I love being able to go backwards and forwards for each hour or minute function. The three backlight levels are terrific. The power cord is detachable, which tells me it will run fine on batteries, but have not done that yet. The sound of the radio is great, but what do you expect from a Sony! The only down side to this clock radio is that the radio only plays for 30 minutes. I guess I will have to set Alarm B as well!

I just got this Sony ICFCD823 CD clock radio and was somewhat impressed with it. Great styling, excellent Malaysia quality, easy to read LCD display, and wonderful sound are a plus. However, the FM reception is poor. It recieves stations but too many static noise. Another is that the volume is a turn dial instead of digital volume. Also, the feature says that it includes a brightness control. It appears that there is no brightness control and is not mention in the manual either. Maybe I got the 2nd generation of the Sony ICFCD823 cd clock radio.

This clock radio saves a whole lot of space that includes a built-in CD player to your nightstand, or anywhere else you're limited for space. The AM/FM stereo tuner has great reception, and the multi-setting dial makes time and alarm setup a breeze. You also get an extendable snooze timer. The backlit LCD display makes it easy to see what time it is, and brightness control lets you dial in the perfect contrast making it easier to sleep. 5 station presets are great, or you can drop in your a CD for a listen. The best part of it is you can wake to CD! Dual alarm makes life simpler for couples i guess, and the memory backup is great for when there are power outage overnight.

I'll mildly disagree with the other reviewer - yes, the effect is subtle, and while it's a pleasant enough add-on, it's not really worth investing in. I really wanted to keep the overall visual impact of the system to a minimum. To be honest, for $80, it doesn't do enough to warrant being the largest single element in the system. Yes, you can toss it on the floor or next to the couch, but it's still littering up your area someplace, and the ever-so-slight improvement of low-end bass isn't really worth the price. It's actually a credit to the Kloss line that this thing is fairly extraneous; I get very good bass performance out of the existing Model Two/Model CD setup I have, and I guess I was expecting that if they could extract that much low-end tone from the M2 speaker, they'd really punch out some bass from the subwoofer. Not the case. Try the M2 setup first; if you're really starved for more bass and have a spare $80 burning a hole in your pocket, give it a try, but I'd let the stock M2 setup grow on you first. Not a bad product; just not up to the standard set by the rest of the HK line.

The Tivoli Model Two radio sounds great all by itself, but the Model Subwoofer gives it just a touch more oomph at the bottom end that makes it even better. I had serious doubts about the performance of a "subwoofer" with just a single 5.25" speaker, but this little thing really works. Lows have more volume and impact, but the subwoofer doesn't call attention to itself, or misbehave by sounding tubby.

The effect is subtle, and won't necessarily show up on all material, but in my installation, music from Robert Cray to Mannheim Steamroller to David Sanborn benefitted from the sub's contribution. The small cabinet is easily hidden if need be, but looks good enough to be placed out in the open, too. The volume control is useful for tailoring the sound to its location.

You can get along quite well without the Model Subwoofer, but once you listen to it, you'll be glad you spent the eighty bucks.

This wonderful CD player/alarm clock allows you to either wake up to the CD in the player, the radio station of your choice, or a buzzer. The snooze button can be controlled to allow one-minute to thirty-minute snoozes. You can set two alarms, and it allows you to shut it off during the weekend without having to reset the alarm when the weekend's over. All in all, if you're looking for a good alarm clock with the added convenice of a cd player and radio, and don't want to put too big of a dent in your wallet, the CE-255 is an excellent choice.

Below is the basic list of the good and bad things I, as a picky shopper, have noticed:

PROS:
-CD PLAYER/RADIO/BUZZER
-BIG DIGITS
-RESONABLY PRICED

CONS:
-DOESN'T HAVE "GRAD-U-WAKE" (MEANING THE SOUND DOESN'T START OFF SOFT AND GRADUALLY GET LOUDER)
-MANUAL TUNING, NOT DIGITAL

This clock was worth purchasing because it got me up everytime and the size of the numbers were good for people without 20/20 vision. I used it while I was in London

I have always known KLH to be a great company for stereo systems and speakers (electronics in general). I purchased this item and found it to do everything you need. It plays Cds, functions perfectly as a clock radio, doesn't take up much room and is just yet another great KLH product. I recommend this item.

This Magnavox alarm clock is not only slylish and contemporary, it is also ideal for students and working adults. The sound is always crisp and clear, and the alarm is highly reliable. The snooze and repeat functions are fantastic for mornings when just a few more minutes of sleep is all you need to tide you over for the rest of the day. In addition, the thumbwheel tuning provides great ease in changing from station to station. This is truly a versitile, low-cost alarm clock.

I've had this alarm clock for about 2 years. I really like it because it has some awsome functions. I can wake up to whatever song I want thats on a cd, it has a duel alarm, easy to program time, and nice speakers. The cons are that, at first, it is very hard to figure out how to set the alarm to a song thats in the middle of the cd. I now hate the sound of when it turns on in the morning, but thats just because I have to wake up so early every day :(. I would definitley reccomend this even though you may have to read the instructions more than once to get it working the way you want.

PS: Did I mention it's a really cool shade of blue??
