Emerson iC2196 CD Stereo Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Recharging Dock for iPod / iPhone

• Clock radio with iPod / iPhone docking station and CD player
• Compatible with all dockable iPod / iPhone models
• Recharges iPod batteries while connected
• Digital tuning AM/FM stereo clock radio
• Top loading CD player

We purchased this after reading some reviews that it ran on batteries and I want to clarify that although it does take AA batteries, they are optional and do not actually run the stereo/alarm, but only as a backup for the time in case you loose power or unplug it.

Even though we were disappointed at first that it was not an electric and battery-operated system, it made up for it with its simplicity and great performance. The volume gets surprisingly loud, we can hear it across our house when I play it in the room, and it is very clear especially with the iPod. It charges the iPod as you play it, which is a great feature, and allows you the ability to set the alarm (can set up 2 alarms) for cd, standard ringer, radio, or iPod.

This was the best deal we found for a cd, iPod, radio and alarm clock and I am so happy with it I may order another one!

Emerson makes cheap junk and their iPod alarm clocks are no exception. If you need an alarm clock capable of waking you up at the right time in the morning, this is NOT the one you want.

I have to admit to being stupid enough to buying this model after another earlier more expensive Emerson iPod alarm clock failed to ring its alarm. The iC2196 also failed to ring the alarm less than a year after I purchased it. The buttons on these cheap alarm clocks also stop functioning within a few months.

There is no quality built into these products. It's alright if you just need something to charge and play your iPod out of cheap tiny speakers, but don't rely on these pieces of junk as alarm clocks.
