5.0 out of 5 stars Good clock for the money, October 20, 2008

I am very happy with this clock radio/CD player. I especially like that the time can be set forward and backward and that the time display is easy to see without the light from it keeping me awake. The radio and CD player sound fine for what I use it for and for the price. The control buttons are in a good location and easy to use in the dark, once you know where everything is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent for the price, November 16, 2008

I got this cheap alarm clock hoping it's two speakers would sound better than my even cheaper alarm clock with one speaker. It does but not by much. The CD player is very quiet but I find that the buttons are rather loud. Changing the alarm time at night will often wake my wife. The CD always starts at the beginning when using the alarm so I found it helpful to make my own CDs with a different wake-up song on each one.


Pros

Controls are strait forward and function well
Quiet CD player
Easy to read display

Cons

Loud buttons
Sort of ugly

1.0 out of 5 stars DOES NOT wake to any CD track, just track 1., May 14, 2009

This clock DOES NOT wake to any CD track, just track 1. The description is WRONG. Otherwise, it's an okay product, small and compact, simple to operate. I'm just disappointed because I bought it specifically to wake my 6-year-old daughter to a specific song on a CD (which isn't track 1, unfortunately). I'm a tech-savvy guy...no user error here -- the product (and its manual) just doesn't have the feature specified. Filed a formal complaint with seller AND Amazon -- both chose to do NOTHING to resolve the issue. (They didn't even correct the description.) UPDATED INFO: THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING AFTER 6 MONTHS, SO NOW IT'S JUST A CLOCK RADIO.
