5.0 out of 5 stars Time for a winner, December 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: GPX C1890 Compact Disc AM/FM Clock Radio (Electronics)

Actually ended up buying two of these, one for both floors of the house. We had to replace our less than a year old Sony's as they had both broke, one had the CD parts fall off and the other keep time from another universe. Yes I did take them back to the dealer and was told to send them to Sony. It was easier and in this case cheaper to buy new units. Easy to use and so far very reliable. I do like the CD track option for wake ups, really is special on those special celebration days for the significant other. I bought one GPX at a local retailer and the second from Amazon. Great product.....

2.0 out of 5 stars Convenient compact design but lots of problems, January 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: GPX C1890 Compact Disc AM/FM Clock Radio (Electronics)

I bought two of these - for each of my kids bedrooms. It is nice and compact with the clock and the cd player -- perfect for their bedside music. The problem is they don't keep time correctly -- every time there is a power outage (and they go on the back up battery) both start to run ahead (they seem to pick up 10 minutes every few months). One of them is now not playing the cd without hitting the button five times and turning it on and off a few times. It also sometimes starts playing music in the middle of the night on its own.

I was here looking to replace with the Sony (figured it was better quality) and was surprised to see another review liking this one and having problems with the Sony....
