If you ever wondered what became of engineering grads who were at the bottom of their class, Conair must be their primary recruiter. Don't buy stock in this company because their products are uniformly dreadful. I wish I had paid more attention to the other reviewers' comments before embroiling myself with this lousy clock telephone radio. The set looks pretty, but it is a disaster.Why?

Nothing could be more ineptly designed. It used to be so simple to set the time. Not in this model. You have to go through multiple steps to set it, as though you were at the control panel of a jet aircraft. Why make such an easy function so complicated?

The so-called backlit panel is a joke. They actually used DARK digits so that it is impossible to see the numbers! You need a magnifying glass (literally) to make out anything. To see the display in a dark room, well, forget it. Also, the dim switch has no effect.

The alleged lighted keypad is another joke. A few numbers in the center only are lit. So, to make a phone call when the room is dark, all the digits you are dialing need to be in the middle row if you expect it to be lit. Or, you need to develop braille sensitive fingers to feel your way around the keypad.

It is also impossible to read the display for the radio tuner
or the alarm clock setting.

So, in conclusion, if you are buying a clock radio to be able to use the phone at night, to select a radio station, or even, (heaven forbid!) tell the time, this is not for you. The only award it may ever win is for incredulity that any company would have the nerve to manufacture it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Choice for Alarm Clock, October 13, 2004

This review is from: Conair CID-402 Clock Radio/Telephone with Caller ID (Office Product)

I've been using this product for a year. And I have to say it is one of the best alarm clock / phone that I have used. I was looking for a clock radio first and then a phone, and this product is the best match for this price. The alarm is definitely loud and there is no way that you can sleep in. The time display is very bright and clear. I can see the time clearly without putting on my glasses although it's placed pretty far away from my bed. Another good thing about the clock feature is that it is very easy to adjust the time and the alarm compared to similar products on the market. One little drawback is that the sound quality of the radio is not as good as it could be, although the speakers are very loud. However, it's not my primary concern since I mainly use it as an alarm clock instead of a radio. I do not agree that this product breaks easily. I have dropped it a lot of times and it did not suffer from any damage at all. I have compared this with other products that have similar features.and this is the BEST and CHEAPest radio alarm clock / phone combination.
