Hi Folks, Let me update some of you about the confusion regarding this product. I have just phoned iHome and they gave me some new info. Look on the bottom of your unit,if your model num.says ih110b....you have the unit with NO remote and, a Radio. If you have model ih 11 then you Do have a remote and NO radio. I just purchased the model described for this listing,the IH 11 and I got the IH110b. I wanted the remote and got none. If you can not return yours to where you bought it from, and want the other model you can call iHome at 1-800-288-2792. If my store does not have unit unit I wanted originally, They told me I can send it back to them and they will send me back the correct unit. I hope this was not tooooo confusing. Thanks.

This is a good Ipod alarm clock that does everything it advertises. I have to say, however, that for an extra $10-$15 dollars more the Sony Dream Machine (ICF-C7iP) does everything the iHome does but also has FM/AM radio, a larger and more attractive display, a smaller size, automatic time setting and two alarms that can be set for weekdays/weekends which makes it worth the extra to me.

It does everything it says it's supposed to...plays the radio, plays my Ipod (Itouch). Sound is decent (what do you expect out of a little box for a clock radio?), but...no presets for the radio? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So I'm supposed to scroll through all the stations any time I want to change my mind on a station. I don't know about you, but there's about 5-6 stations that I consistently listen to and will change around when a radio is playing something I don't want to hear. Regardless of it being a clock radio where at my bedside I wouldn't be changing the station, if I bought this to go on my desk or something like that, then it would be completely pointless in my opinion. So if you really don't care about changing the station ever or scrolling through it is no big deal or you never will listen to the radio because you're only going to use this for your IPOD anyway, then you can make your decision. Just remember too that the sound is just okay.

This Alarm clock is great, it has all the features I want: it plays my iPod loud enough for me to hear it in the morning. It also is a great speaker system in and of itself. The one problem is that when you set an alarm for a certain time (let's say 7:30 am) it doesn't start playing your iPod for a little bit (until around 7:30 and 30 seconds), but this problem has an easy solution - set your alarm to sound 1 minute earlier (7:29 am)! I recommend also setting your alarm on your iPod as well as on the iHome. Overall, this product is to use and I am so far enjoying it. Additionally, the remote control is an amazing feature, you'll find yourself using the remote for snoozing in the morning. GREAT PRODUCT and it looks good too!!

This is a good little iPod dock. Flaw in that it is on the same frequency as the remote for my Direct TV. When I use my Direct TV remote it turns on the iHome. It works pretty well, other than that.

I bought the non-remote version at [...] for a bedside alarm clock and feel this has its ups and downs. As an iPod player it works well and has decent sound. As an alarm clock (the main purpose) it's not as strong.

First, I need to change the alarm time frequently since I don't go to the office at the same time every day, and the time setting either goes super fast or is quite slow -- it takes longer to set the alarm time than it should. Second, the backlit time display is not that useful if you're quite nearsighted like me -- my old alarm clock had a black background and lit time which was much easier to read. The backlit feature also makes it too bright except at the lowest setting, but then it becomes hard to read due to the low contrast between the background and time (unless you have good vision). Also the buttons are not intuitive and require some perusal of the manual -- I've seen much better button designs on other radio / music alarm clocks.

I'm too lazy to return this alarm clock but if it broke, I wouldn't buy another one.

I purchased the non-remote model (iH110) from Costco for its simple attractive design and the price was right. It functions decently as an iPod dock and has relatively good sound with the bass enhancement on. But as a bedroom alarm clock it is almost useless: 1) At volume 01, it's still too loud to fall asleep to. 2) At the dimmest setting, the backlight is too bright for the bedside. I really wanted to like this product but returned it after one night.

I bought this for my husband to use at work. He used it only a couple of times the first month saying the sound quality was good. It broke after the first month. I'm returning it and hoping it doesn't happen again.

I purchased this for my son last weekend and it works nicely. It does have a radio (FM only) and you can dim the clock display (press the snooze bar for about four different brightness levels). It does works and charges the new 4th generation ipod nanos along with the older classic, ipod mini and ipod nano models. The sound quality is fine for a small alarm clock, but don't expect Bose quality sound. There was no remote.

The entire unit works as designed, but the 4G Nano adapter isn't molded right or something so you have to use it without the adapter. That means you'll eventually bend and break something so I had to return the whole unit just because the smallest, cheapest part is probably like 1mm off.

also, the remote doesn't let you change albums, just go fwd/back by song, so you have to touch the ipod itself to do any of that.
