Lot's of hissing and nearly impossible to find a frequency not being used by a radio station. Additionally, the radio volume has to be nearly all the way up to hear sufficiently.

We have had this docking station for at least 2 years. I use it mainly for parties and for tunes in the backyard during the summer while I was caring for the plants or watching the kids play. I also used it daily in the summer while I hung our clothes out to dry.

I was very pleased with the service of a decently priced item. It added not so loud background music while we held parties. It was also loud enough that I could wander around our backyard and still hear the music.

I would recommend this speaker station to anyone.

I've had my alarm clock for a couple of years now (3 in December). It was also a Christmas present. Now, let me say first that the other reviewer is correct. I do wish I could dim the brightness of the clock display, but simply turning it towards the wall lessens the glare.

For such a small player, it's a little giant. I've never had any issues with the sound quality or the radio sound. It works just fine.

If you're looking for a great alarm clock that will play and charge your iPod, then this is a great purchase. I would gladly recommend this product to another person who was looking to get a decent radio clock without busting their bank account.

My oh-so-thrify husband got this for me for Christmas and while I'm aware it's the thought that counts, the product really stinks. The sound is crappy to put it bluntly. Very cheap. Sounds like an old transitor radio from when I was a kid. I put it next to the bed and plugged it in. When we went to bed that night, I turned off the lamp and the whole bedroom glowed blue from the clock display. It is soooooo bright!!! Plus, when I look at it at night, the display is so bright I can't see the time without waking up enough to get my glasses and really focus on the display. It's really a pain. I've been covering the display at night so I can sleep, which defeats the purpose of having a clock in the room. There is no dimmer on the display either. Do not waste your money. I would have rated this even lower if I could. Yesit was fairly easy to use but not any moreso than any other clock radio. I do not recommend this at all!

Maverick WS-1000 Weather Station

• Full-featured wireless weather instrument with an integral atomic alarm clock
• Clock displays time plus the month, date, and weekday
• Shows indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity, an animated weather forecast icon, current or historic barometric pressure with 24-hour history bar graph and trend arrow
• Collects rainfall and rate or amount history data.
• LCD panel is continuously backlit in blue, and you can adjust the brightness.

This is a great item, but they put a black grid into the screen. This grid makes it impossible to read the display at night unless you are less than a foot away and directly at eye level. This was so irritating I returned the product back to Amazon. The alarm clock feature had no volume control. This was also very annoying. So sad since everything else was so perfect.

Buy Maverick WS-1000 Weather Station Now

This item functions as intended, but I don't understand the graph portion of the display.

Some things I dislike about this product are:

1. The backlight only dims, it cannot be turned off.

2.The digital clock takes up too much space on the display. I would make it smaller or eliminate it altogether, and make the weather portion of the display larger.

3. The button that allows the viewer to view temperature highs & lows etc only lasts for 5 seconds. I would extend this viewing time.

4. The weather icon (forcaster) does not even remotely predict the real weather.

In spite of these drawbacks I would recommend this product.

The product seems sturdy and fairly well built. All of the features seem to work as described. The clock display is very hard to read if you are not up close and are viewing the clock straight-on. Any change in viewing angle makes the text dissapear. The barometric bars at the bottom are almost impossible to read, even if you are right up on it.

Want Maverick WS-1000 Weather Station Discount?

The unit was quite different, and in many ways better,(it had a color screen and lots of information) than the usual weather stations you see on the internet. I was sure I had found one I would not have to return. Unfortunately I did have to return it. The screen is so full of information that each individual icon is too small for me to see (not their fault I'm getting old) unless I am very close to the unit. If it had a bigger screen with bigger numbers and or icons of information I would have kept it. The five stars are for what it might be for you, even though I had to return it.

NEW Emerson Jumbo Talking CID (Caller ID Units)

Bought this for my mom for christmas. The real hit is that it talks to you letting you know who is calling. Mom loves it

Buy NEW Emerson Jumbo Talking CID (Caller ID Units) Now

I bought this for my 86 year old Mother. She could not read it at all and I could barely make out the numbers even when I tilted it to get the most visible angle. It cost me shipping to send it back but it was worthless to keep it. I read the bad reviews but took a chance and am now sorry I did. I think Amazon needs to drop items like this that get consistent low ratings so as not to tarnish their reputation.

It works fine but comes without adapter. For the price you pay 6V adapter should be included. Reading screen is not convenient. You can read at certain angle in certain position only.

I bought this product for my son(under 10 years old) as a gift. It fulfills my expectations and my son is very happy with it. He can play games, watch movies, take photos, listen music. The size and the quality of the screen is quite good. The design is nice. It is very suitable for the children.

However, the quality of the product(other than screen) is not very good. Buttons are not easy to use, you have to press it hard... The camera is hard to use. The cord of the charging unit is too short. And most importantly, the battery of the device was dead when I received it. It was lasting max of 10 minutes after 12 hours of charging. My son has to attach it to the power source all the time while he is playing with it.

When I escalate the battery problem to amazon, they immediately refund the money which is good.

I think the product is good(value for money) but the company is not managed very well. The company system should be following every single unit and it should not allow a faulty unit to be shipped.

I got this for christmas and I must say, it's one of the worst things i've gotten in recent memory. The product is cheaply made with low quality parts and terrible button placement, especially on the d-pad. The most important part of a product is to be able to navigate through it, and a traditional d-pad would've been great, but instead it's a cluster of buttons. Which one of mine is faulty by the way; so in the video games I put on it; it's extremely hard to control. The one good thing about this product is it has a great video player and nice screen clarity, but use headphones with volume control, because this doesn't have any means of changing the volume. It's either loud; or off.

Sony ICF-CD831 CD Clock Radio with FM/AM Radio and Extendable Snooze (White)

• Compact and modern clock radio with FM/AM radio and CD player
• CD player supports CD-R/RW discs
• Snoozinator gives you up to an extra 60 minutes of sleep
• .9" green LED numerals are easy to see
• Dual alarm for different wake-up times

This is the best alarm clock I've ever had, except for one thing. No battery backup. I suppose I could plug it into one of my UPSs to alleviate that problem, but I was surprised at how quickly it lost its memory after power loss. It would also be nice if it had a digital tuner, but that isn't a big deal to me since I don't use it for readio much. If I did use it for radio a lot, it would drive me nuts manually tuning to stations.

I love the snooze feature where you can keep tapping it to change when the next alarm will be. The ideal alarm clock would be similar to this one, with a battery backup, and a digital tuner. Oh yeah, it sounds pretty good too. I have it set play a nature sounds CD when I wake up. When it plays the morning birds I sometimes confuse the recording for the real birds outside my window, and vice versa. I'm not saying these are excellent speakers, but they definitely sound good for an alarm clock. Oh, and it looks pretty stylish to most of the other boxy CD alarm clocks out there.

In short, a very good alarm clock, but plug it into a UPS if you want to be sure you won't be late for work because of a power outtage in the middle of the night.

Buy Sony ICF-CD831 CD Clock Radio with FM/AM Radio and Extendable Snooze (White) Now

I love this clock radio/CD player! It's a great clock radio for someone who's trying to get back to better sleeping habits. I was originally looking for a clock radio with soothing "nature sounds" built in, but this clock radio really does the job. I can play a CD with nature sounds or soothing music when I go to bed. I just set a timer, and the CD turns itself off. I can set the alarm to wake up to music, the radio, or a buzzer. By the way, the buzzer isn't an obnoxious loud buzz; it's more like a pulsing chirp. Much more pleasant to wake up to! The LCD has two brightness settings, so the light doesn't wake me up in the middle of the night. The only down side is that it takes up a little more room on the bedside table than I had planned, but that's minor compared to this clock radio's strengths.

It's hard to find information on the power consumption of many products, even though the cost of energy can sometimes add up to be more than the purchase price. Since parts of this unit are powered up all the time, I was concerned about that before I bought it. But it is pretty good: I measure about 1.3 to 1.6 W with the display on dim; 1.7 to 2.0 W with the display bright. On dim, that's no higher than some plain alarm clocks without a radio or CD player. And it's much lower than some of the "high-end" competitors: about 6 W for the Bose Wave radio or the Cambridge Soundworks equivalents, or 3.3 W for the Panasonic RC-CD600. Still, if Sony cared to, they could cut it down to about half a watt.

On other aspects, it is very good. The display is easy to read even when dim--much better than backlit LCD displays. There's no mistaking the sound for a full size stereo, but the sound is decent and solid, and is loud enough for me to follow the news broadcast while I'm in the shower in the next room. The controls are easy to use.

One thing to look out for--the "PSYC" version looks different from the plain white one: it has silver trim and fluorescent pink lettering. This Amazon listing says PSYC but pictures the plain white one, so I don't know which you'd get if you ordered it. If you care about the looks make sure you are getting the one you prefer.

Want Sony ICF-CD831 CD Clock Radio with FM/AM Radio and Extendable Snooze (White) Discount?

I Had this radio for a few days, but had to return it. 1. No back-up battery and 2. the dots between the hour and minutes constantly blink, there is no way of stoping it. Sounds crazy, but it drove me nuts. Other then these two exceptions the radio play well.

This worked great up until a little less than a year after purchase, then the CD player started going haywire. It still plays CD's, yet when I set the alarm to play a song on the CD, it will spin and spin, but not play. Tried to get it replaced under warranty so I called Sony helpline and they talked me through it until it eventually worked on one song on a different CD, of course when I hung up, it stopped working again. Not worth the $50 I spent.

Sprint Flash 4G Android Phone (Sprint)

This was given to me as a company phone and I am so glad that we got rid of it. When on business, the key things I need are good call quality and fast internet speeds. I've been on Sprint all my life and this phone does not give Sprint's fast 4g network any justice. It is at least 50% slower then my current Samsung Galaxy. Despite that, the Android software is pretty nice since it is taken down to its minimalist roots, and has some pretty neat photo-editing features.

What I like:

-4G (despite it being slower then my current Samsung Galaxy)

-Photo editing features

-Android 4.0 is taken to its roots

-Price is okay (although the HTC Evo & Galaxy Nexus cost the same and are much better)

What I don't like:

-Bulky design

-Photo quality is terrible

-Slow internet

-Terrible Call Quality

Overall, 3/5, I am grateful that my company got rid of this and upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy

T53093-Atomic Digital Clock Radio

Here's the skinny.

Great, reliable, sharp looking. Tuner works great. Alarm Clock works great. Time kept by atomic clock is dead on. MAJOR DRAWBACKS: Takes a minor in programming to set and shutoff the alarm and the screen is back lit with a push button that is not easy to locate. I bought for the bedside table but it has wound up being my garage clock. My wife would have to unplug it if I forgot to turn off the alarm in the morning, resulting in a ten minute process of resetting the thing.

RCA RC130iBL Clock Radio with Built-in Dock for iPod 4G/iPod/iPhone - Blue

• Compatible with iPhone 4
• Wake to Radio/Alarm/iPod/iPhone
• 20 preset digital FM radio stations
• Snooze and Sleep functions
• Auto Time Sync

I was looking for a simple clock radio that would charge my iPhone 4 at night by my bedside, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Here's my quick assessment:

Ease of use: After taking about 3 minutes to read through the one page manual, setting the time, station presets, and alarm time was pretty easy. As advertised, the clock will sync it's time to the iPhone's time every time you dock it, so no more tedious button-pressing. Nice.

Design: I don't like an alarm clock to draw too much attention to itself, so I appreciate this one's small footprint. The adjustable green number readout is not over-bright or obtrusive in a dark bedroom, which is something that the designers of other more obnoxiously bright models should have taken into account. My iPhone 4 is able to dock easily while still in it's case (which is a small form-fitting Belkin model). If you have a larger case such as an Otterbox, you might need to remove it when docking, but I don't own one so I can't say for certain. The buttons have a sturdy enough feel, nothing feels cheap or in danger of breaking.

Sound: Nothing to write home about, but not bad considering the price point. Wakes me up in the morning, and gives me something to listen to while I'm folding laundry.

Feature set: All the basic clock radio features you'd expect, basically. The two different alarm times feature is nice, you're given more radio preset slots than you'll ever need or want, and you can wake up to your iPhone's music collection, an alarm, or a radio preset.

If you're looking for something that gives you high-quality (or high-volume) sound, you won't find it here. But if you want a decent clock radio on the cheap to charge your iPhone at night, I'd highly recommend this model.

Buy RCA RC130iBL Clock Radio with Built-in Dock for iPod 4G/iPod/iPhone - Blue Now

For the price, it's a cheap solution for my problems, since I wanted a radio clock with led display. It's not that bright at night, so I don't find any trouble sleeping.

The sound is not that great, but it's not that bad either. I wasn't expecting too much for the price, so I'm quite satisfied. But if you want something with a good sound, I recommend looking for another product.

I don't use the radio function, so I can't really say anything about that.

It worked fine with my iPhone 4(at iOS version 4.3.3) and it had some issues with my iPod Touch 2nd generation(only the play button was functional at first... but somehow everything is working properly now despite the message that is not a compatible device). With both devices the radio clock synced the time correctly.

In short terms: Worked in iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 2nd generation. Is a good product for the price, but if you want a more elaborated product with more sound quality and better design, go for something else.

Read Best Reviews of RCA RC130iBL Clock Radio with Built-in Dock for iPod 4G/iPod/iPhone - Blue Here

This is officially my first review....of anything, online. After my most recent aneurism with trying to set the alarm on this device (yes, I have had more than one) I felt it my civic duty to bring my pain and suffering to whomever wants to listen. I purchased this device for my daughter, who has very limited nightstand space. It is small and packs a decent punch, all things considered. The only real issue I have is with how difficult it is to program the alarm function. Even using the provided user manual I eventually made my way to my computer to "google" for help. More than once, the "buzzer" alarm (not the iPod selection I thought I made) would shriek out at midnight! Not good. ANyway, that's my 2 cents + a nickel for inflation.

Want RCA RC130iBL Clock Radio with Built-in Dock for iPod 4G/iPod/iPhone - Blue Discount?

Easy to use, very small, works great for my purpose (bedside clock radio that charges my iPod). This is not the unit to choose if you intend to listen to music on it all the time--it's just too small and the speakers aren't good enough for that.

Blargh, update: the electrical cord for the radio makes a weird buzzing noise, and RCA was unhelpful (wanted me to send the whole unit back at my cost) and the seller via Amazon just wanted it back, didn't offer to replace it and also made me pay for shipping. It looked like a good radio, and maybe I just got a bum cord, but it was a bad overall experience.

Was looking for an inexpensive charging doc for my Iphone 4S that would work with my slim case, provide me with a decent speaker upgrate AND provide me with clock radio / alarm clock functionality. This unit meets all those requirements. My Iphone charges nicely, and I can leave my casecrown case in place with no issues. Nice small footprint as well and the numbers aren't overly bright.

All that said, I deducted 2 stars for a design flaw that may require me to return the unit. When the alarm engages, the minumum volume choice is level 10. This is true whether you select radio, iphone or buzzer. When listening to music, I can select a level of 1 which would be perfect to wake me while my wife sleeps peacefully. Unfortunately, at level 10 (30 is the max volume), this unit will wake the entire house!

I'm going to try waking to some lower volume songs (really soft classical) in my iphone to see if that is acceptable.

Bottom line: if you are a relatively light sleeper, the alarm function will likely startle you awake. If this is OK by you, then this unit should be considered, especially if you have a newer iphone and would like the option to charge without removing the case.
