5.0 out of 5 stars Great companion to iPod and iPhones!, February 7, 2009

By	Avid Amazon Buyer - See all my reviews

In 2007, my son received the Emerson iP100SLA Portable Sound System with Digital Clock and Alarm Functions as a Christmas present from his aunt. He seemed happy with it.

Just this morning, I found it out on the patio. He had left it there after using it in our laundry room (yet another thing he failed to put up after using it, but I digress...). I now have an iPhone, and wondered if it worked with it as well. I also noticed it has an AM radio option. I have a favorite talk radio show that I listen to when I can, but not as frequently as I like. This unit is small and compact, and knew it would fit next to my computer without being an intrusion on my workspace. I tested whether my iPhone fit. YES. I played some music and WOW! Nice clear and booming sound. AM/FM radio is a much appreciated plus, along with the alarm feature. Low profile and cool look add to it's attractability. I was impressed.

I came to this site to see the cost, as I'd like to purchase one for myself. Imagine my surprise when I saw the low, one star rating. I read the review, and thankfully I have not seen the issues the other person encountered. As I stated earlier, my son has had and used this over a year, so the fact that I am a "newbie" to using this is not the issue. I tested the power ON/OFF button and it works as it's supposed to. I don't mind the bright LED light.

From what I've seen and experienced, it is a great unit. I am impressed. Now, hopefully my son can be bribed...errr...persuaded to give this one up? Somehow, I doubt it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Emerson iP100SLA portable sound system badly flawed, December 19, 2008

By	Sunset - See all my reviews

The Emerson iP100SLA iPod docking station and alarm clock is a flawed piece of electronic equipment. Be aware that after a month or two once your 15-day return policy has expired, it may well malfunction. Mine will not turn off. That is, a simple thing like the on - off switch was not built in a sturdy enough manner to last even three months. In researching online I see other identical complaints from customers of this same product. The display on this product is much too bright for an alarm clock since it has to be physically blocked by an opaque object each night in order to sleep without a light shinning right in your eyes. On the plus side, this product has pretty good sound for the price and is nice looking. The iPod is held firmly in place that can help protect its fragile dock. The radio tunes in holds station signals pretty well.
