4.0 out of 5 stars A Few Features That I Like (And the One That I Don't):, November 8, 2008

By

This review is from: Homedics HMDX-C20 Speaker Dock for iPod with AM/FM Clock Radio and Nature Sounds, Silver (Health and Beauty)

Features I like:

*sound options! I can fall asleep or wake up to nature sounds, my iPod, radio, or alarm.

*size and shape -- smaller, more stylish than the clunky, traditional rectangular clock radios, and so it fits nicely on my small nightstand

*iPod docking station can be modified with the various inserts included to accommodate any type of iPod.

*3 settings for the back lighting on the time -- bright, slightly less bright, and "off" -- a big plus for those who don't like the glare of the clock radio in the middle of the night. I use the "off" setting for the weekends . . . then I know that I really don't have to get up! Yaayy!

Only problem with the "off" setting is that you can only see the time in a light room, not in a dark room. I don't like the light, but I also am one of those people who needs to glance at the time during the night. I have always remedied the problem of excessive glare by draping a small piece of sheer colored fabric across the front of any clock radio that I've ever owned . . . softens the light but I can still see the time.

The one feature I don't like:

* mirror-like finish shows every dang fingerprint and smudge! A little artistry is required when wiping clean or you will inadvertently click on the buttons and change your settings.

All in all, not a bad clock radio! If they could just tweak it a bit (like making a dimmer setting that would be genuinely dim but still show the time in a dark room, and losing the smudge-prone finish) it might be a near perfect product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great clock radio/iPod dock, December 28, 2008

By 

blueskysthunder (USA-NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Homedics HMDX-C20 Speaker Dock for iPod with AM/FM Clock Radio and Nature Sounds, Silver (Health and Beauty)

This is a great clock radio/iPod dock. It works great, and the sound quality is amazing. At first I thought mine didnt come with the 3rd generation ipod nano dock adapter, but it was already in the clock radio. It is very easy to use, and works great. It also looks very nice. Im glad I purchased this iPod dock. I couldnt believe how good the sound quality is. Also, the light on the clock is very bright, but is has 3 settings. Bright, Brighter, and off. It also has 2 alarms, and you can wake up to either nature sounds, radio, buzzer, or your iPod.

Short and plain, Homedics produces great alarm clocks, but this won't charge a 4th generation IPod Nano.
