This review is from: Coby CRA77 Big Green LED Digital AM/FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio (Electronics)

For less than $10, you can't really go wrong with this clock radio. It is your basic cheap clock radio -- digital display, crummy tuner and speaker, alarm with buzzer or radio. Has AM/FM tuner. Snooze and Sleep buttons (odd that these functions actually do different things, hmm?.) Nice round shape suggests the old, wind-up alarm clocks of yesteryear.

This Coby model features an extra-large green display useful for near-sighted persons (like myself) who need to see the time, in the dark, without fumbling for glasses. The product, is slightly marred, however, by rather unusual labeling of radio bands and controls. Must be for international markets? Also, somewhat counter-intuitive button placement.

PROS
- Cheap
- Great big display

CONS
- Weird international labels frighten Americans
- Odd button placement.

All things considered, if you need a cheap clock radio, you won't regret this choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't keep accurate time, April 25, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Coby CRA77 Big Green LED Digital AM/FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio (Electronics)

My experience with this clock wasn't good. It couldn't keep accurate time. I don't mean that it was a few minutes off. What I mean is that when I set it to the correct time at night it would be 45 minutes ahead by morning. I know it's a cheap clock, but I thought we had figured out how to be at least a little more accurate than that.

The radio was pretty cheesy, it was difficult to get it tuned to a radio station. While the tuner dial was large, it was just too hard to tune the radio (at least for me).

All in all, I wouldn't recommend this clock radio even as cheap as it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine clock, October 18, 2004

Nice dual alarm option...keeps accurate time (sounds like that other guy should've sent his back for an exchange)...no problems...big display is nice when half awake...

Update: After about 6 months, the alarm features of this clock stopped working. It's now a nice time keeping device with big green numerals, but I have to use my cell phone as an alarm clock.

Now downgraded to 2 stars.

Oh well.
