2.0 out of 5 stars Bad design Good sound, December 15, 2009

This is my second iHome, the first was a single dock that worked for about 6 months and then the volume and tuner knobs stopped working. Luckily we saved the remote or this would be in the trash. My new, 2 month old, iHome (dual dock) is still working, but two of the lit buttons do not light anymore (see the importance of this in next paragraph). Both units have decent sound quality and options. There are multiple alarms which are helpful.

As far as the design of the dual dock iHome goes, I wish iHome would figure out a few things. For one, the buttons are all flush with the body, so it is impossible to set, reset etc, the alarm without turning the lights on or upping the light control on the iHome (since the lit buttons aren't lighting anymore, bedroom lights must come on). Oh yeah that - when you press the snooze bar, the iHome lights toggle through the different brightness settings. This seems like a good idea, and it is totally necessary since even at the lowest setting it lights up my whole room. The bad part of this design is that to sleep, the iHome lights have to be off (unless you like a lit room) and because of that you can't read the time.

iHome must use the cheapest switches that they can find because both iHomes that I have had switch problems within a few months. they have the best sound for the price, as well as options. I wouldn't buy one without a waranty (include that in the purchase price for comparison).

This review is from: iHome iP88 Stereo Dual Dock Triple Alarm Clock Radio (CD-ROM)

so i was primarily looking for an alarm clock/charger for my ipod touch 3g. i came across this and discovered it did just that and more: its dual dock! so it charges my nano 4g as well. WIN. this is my first ihome and i am thoroughly impressed. the unit doesnt look or feel cheap at all. the sound is incredible; my dad heard it and thought it was one of the smaller bose speakers. the remote control is about as thick as the touch, as wide as the nano, and weighs about the same as the nano. which means i might lose the control soon if i dont pick up a habit of leaving it in the same place over and over again. the price may be a bit steep, but the dual dock makes up for it since most households have more than one ipod.

I've used several iHome products and I have to admit that this one is my favorite thus far. In terms of the functions I'm looking for, this is great. Personally, I dont like the remote as much - its a little longer than the previous version. However, I like the overall sound quality, the appearance and the overall function of this iHome.
