Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Here's a kinder, gentler alarm clock from RCA. The AM/FM clock radio comes with an extralarge green LED display and a suitcase full of features, from the Graduwake ramp-up alarm to a time-hold capacitor that stores enough energy to keep your time and alarm settings intact during momentary power outages (or during moves across the room).

A snooze alarm is available as well. The radio plays through a 2.5-inch speaker and offers frequency control on FM stations, a slide-rule dial scale, and thumbwheel vernier tuning. Measuring just 4.325 by 7 by 3.75 inches, this is one clock that won't hog precious real estate on your nightstand.

A one-year limited warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible quality, September 17, 2000

I purchased this unit and got less than one year out of it. First the AM tuner quit working, then the time set buttons, so that you can't even set the time. A real piece of junk. Stay away from the RCA brand for audio products.

Though some reviewers had problems with this clock, I liked it. It works as advertized, and the numbers are easy to read, and in a pleasing color. The brightest setting is a little too bright , but at the dimmer setting, the numbers are readable without being overpowering. It's a good deal for the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Take my clock, please., December 31, 2000

I have a couple complaints about this clock. I am a very light sleeper. I set the alarm to turn the radio on at a very low volume. However, there is a VERY loud internal switch that clicks just as the radio/alarm is being turned on. For me, it's like being awakened by someone slamming an encyclopedia on a tile floor. I actually contacted RCA's customer service about this. They told me "that's just the way it is". My second coplaint is about the large display. It has a dim control, but even on the low setting, it is way too bright. If you're a sound sleeper who doesn't mind having a bright light shining on your face, it could be the clock for you.
