Convenient for guest rooms, dorms, or anywhere space is at a premium, the Coby CDRA185 combines a table's worth of electronics into a single bedside unit. The included wall-mounting bracket doubles your display options; all you need is to plug in a phone cord and the power adapter and you'll be up and running.

The dual alarm clock includes a snooze button, and the adjustable clock face allows you to angle it wherever gives you a clear view of the oversized digital display. AM/FM reception tunes in at the touch of a button, while the top-load CD player includes play/pause, repeat, skip and programmable track memory functions. The corded handset means you'll have full telephone access in the midst of a power outage, and the LCD screen displays the names and numbers of your 70 most recent callers with subscription to local caller ID service. One-touch call return is also available. Coby includes a 90-day warranty covering parts and service.

2.0 out of 5 stars So-So, September 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: COBY CD-RA185 Digital AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio with CD Player & Caller ID (Office Product)

I was satisfied with the purchase when I first got it. This clock/radio/CD player is slim and looks sophicated. I like how it's compact and not heavy to move around. The CD player works alright, but the sound quality of the radio is pretty poor. No matter how I turn the manual AM/FM tuning dial, I can't seem to turn to the radio station I want. Sometimes, there's a hiss sound, which can be annoying. I didn't have this product long enough to find out how the telephone works, because I'm returning it!

Started out being satisfied with having a unit that worked fine, but wasn't super-great with lots of bells and whistles (which is what I expected, for what I paid for it). I liked that it saved space and was easy to use, and had the features I was looking for. I expected the sound quality to reflect the small speakers, which it did, but it still wasn't bad. I liked the night light feature, too. However, the phone stopped working, rarely registering a dial tone, and when it did, sound quality on the phone was very scratchy and would cut in and out. And of course, I had forgotten to send in the warranty card, so my money was wasted in a matter of a few months. I like having a phone by my bed, so I decided to stop using the Coby unit altogether.

Anyway - watch your step with this item. If you do try it, remember to send in the warranty card, the manufacturing is not particularly robust.

First off the phone had really bad static in the ear piece,and I know I'm half blind but even my husband couldnt read the LCD on the phone. I really liked the cd option. But I really couldnt get past, not being able to hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying. So I sent it back. Now I'm looking for another.
