Too bright with loud hum, November 9, 2009
This review is from: Timex CD Player Dual Alarm Clock Radio and Nature Sounds Sleep Machine
Not happy with quality or features of this unit. Had a previous Timex Nature Sounds unit with better quality on all fronts. Here are the differences that led to my disappointment:
- Display way too bright with no dimmer - I can read by the light it puts out
- Audible buzz or hum and bright red light when an alarm is in a "snoozed" mode
- Crude tuner and volume dials reminiscent of 70's technology with crackley sound when adjusting
- Single dial volume control for radio and CD player listening and alarm
- Dual alarms but one is buzzer only and the other is either sounds, radio, or CD
- No daylight savings time adjustment
- Same nature sounds tracks; would have preferred longer improved tracks or at least different tracks
- Broad and flat - much larger footprint than previous upright model.
You don't get the details on the box so there's no way to tell until you buy it, but I generally expect electronics products to improve with subsequent versions, not go backwards.

The clock is good, that's about it, October 27, 2009
This review is from: Timex CD Player Dual Alarm Clock Radio and Nature Sounds Sleep Machine
The radio on this clock radio CD player plays softly all the time when a CD is playing, along with a low grade buzzing. It's awful. The clock works well, which is about the only good thing I can say about this waste of materials and space they call a dual alarm clock radio.

Unreliable CD Player, October 23, 2009
This review is from: Timex CD Player Dual Alarm Clock Radio and Nature Sounds Sleep Machine
I purchased two of these for my boys a couple of years ago. After 2 months the first one stopped playing CD's and then 1 year later the second one stopped playing CD's as well. Quite a disappointment. We use them now for the aux-line for our mp3 players and are looking for different ones. Clock, radio, nautre sounds features are all fine.
