1.0 out of 5 stars Major Functionality Problems, September 10, 2008

We bought this alarm clock for our daughter. We didn't get it on Amazon, but I was so put off by this product that I decided to leave a review here anyway. We originally thought it was really cool when we opened it because it came with tons of accessory "docks" to fit almost all types of iPods. It has a couple of major flaws though.

1. When the alarm goes off it starts at a low volume and then within 5 seconds it's blaring as loud as the volume can go. It does this in all modes (Radio, iPod, Buzzer). There is no way to change this and you can't effect it by adjusting the volume before the alarm goes off.

2. It has an Audio Out port on the back for attaching headphones, other equipment, etc. The only problem is, when you connect the headphones sound still comes out of the speakers too. To me, this is a major flaw.

I'll be trying to return this product to the store as soon as I can find the box. It took us a week or two to discover these flaws, so hopefully the store will take it back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Alarm Volume Not Adjustable, August 11, 2009

I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing this. We bought it at a local Target (for the reasonable price and fashionable exterior along with the features offered). Like the others, I got it home and was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use (setting the clock didn't require scrolling through the hours - just pushing several buttons to go forward or back on the hour/minute, several different docks for various MP3 players, etc.).

The first time I used the alarm I did so with the IPOD. I purposefully set the volume low - only to be awoken to a blaring song. Repeated attempts (using both radio and alarm) have proven this will occur with any alarm method. There is no way to adjust the volume for the alarm - I guess the makers assumed everyone likes to be jolted out of bed in the morning.

Cute clock/IPOD dock but I need a functioning alarm. I'll be promptly returning this.

Bought this for my daughter (not from amazon)--thought it would look cute in her room. The first one didn't work, I returned and got a replacement. The docking port was not well aligned and broke off within about 3 months. The glowing blue display provides WAY too much light at night.
