AudioVox RC105 Dual Wake Clock Radio with 0.9-Inch Green Display

• Wake to Radio or Alarm
• Dual wake, Snooze and Sleep functions
• Auto Time Sync
• AM/FM Radio

This is a great little clock/radio -except for one thing. My main reason for buying this item was because we have frequent power interruptions and we needed battery backup for this reason.

Yes, the battery backup works to keep the alarm function powered and even the radio!

However, THE DIGITAL DISPLAY DOES NOT LIGHT WITH THE BATTERY BACKUP. This is not disclosed in the description.

This is a nice little clock/radio in all other aspects; Perfect size, looks nice, etc. and I would have kept it except for this one function.

I purchased this item from Amazon, not another merchant. It came in a box labeled RCA, not AudioVox, although the model number was the same.

The clock has a cheap, plasticky feel. The controls are fairly easy to use. However, the alarm buzzer volume is quite low. It would never wake me, or most other people, I suspect.

The radio is difficult to tune because it has neither a bar indicating the station numbers nor digital tuning. Reception is poor. I don't think I could rely on the radio to wake me either.

As an alarm clock, it is not acceptable. As a radio, it is quite poor. I returned it.

I have been using this clock radio for almost 3 years, and I really like it. It has a readable display which is not too bright, nice loud dual alarms which are easy to set, and a nap button which allows you to sleep for 10 minutes to 2 hours without changing your regular alarm settings. I love this nap feature, but it is also the source of the one flaw: once you set the nap button, there is no way to turn it off. (You can change the length of the nap to a minimum of 10 minutes, but that's it.) More than once, I have hit this button by accident when I meant to turn the alarm off, and it's annoying to have to wait 10 minutes for the nap alarm to sound so I can shut it off.

Other than this one quibble, it's an excellent clock for a very reasonable price.

I purchased this item to replace my older RCA clock radio that had the same features. I briefly tested the new clock when it first arrived and then set it aside. Today my old clock finally pooped out and I installed this one. I quickly realized that my brief testing was inadequate. First the sound quality of the radio is inferior to all the clock radios I have had previously. The sound is muffled with high distortion that makes speech a struggle to understand. For old-timers think back to the days of the early transistor radios with an old battery installed. Secondly and more importantly the graduated alarm is a joke. It never gets very loud at all. Its maximum level is about the level my older RCA clock radio reached in about 15 seconds. Fortunately I am a very light sleeper most of the time but I can't trust this one to wake me if I am in any kind of a deep sleep. This radio may be defective but I suspect it is just shabby in design.

Looked and felt OK. Ramp up beep alarm volume only goes up to a middling level. Ditto "other" alarm. Next tried radio alarm to see if that would be louder. Volume control got louder as wheel was rotated, then suddenly, volume dropped way off (when it should have been getting louder) and radio/radio alarm volume thereafter stayed very low and could not be increased to any usable level. Amazon graciously accepted the return.
