 Don't buy this radio from the Amazon warehouse November 5, 2008
Rebecca J. Lehmann (Lakewood, CO)
Reading through the reviews, it's pretty obvious that Amazon got a bad lot of these radios. Mine was defective as well - no sound. However, instead of returning it to Amazon for an exchange (and another unit from that bad lot), I've sent it back to the manufacturer per the warranty instructions. I'm withholding my opinion until I get the replacement unit, and plan to adjust my rating once I do. (I'm giving it two stars as a placeholder simply because it's small and cute, and because of my suspicions about the lot quality.) However, in the meantime, I would encourage anyone considering this radio to buy it from one of the "also sold by" dealers along the right side of the page. I'm willing to bet that their stock is just fine.
Looks nice, but build quality lacking October 25, 2008

Received this clock radio, opened the box and plugged it in. Radio sounds fine, plugged in my mp3 and it sounded great as well. br / br /1 problem - the volume knob just spins and doesn't appear to do anything. This is a problem that someone else had as well. The tuning knob felt more solid, but noticed that the station info blinked when I turned it. br / br /Because of the price, I guess I shouldn't expect excellent quality, but it would seem that they need to work on the defect rate.

Item appeared as it appears in photos, except the light-up display was non-functional, rendering the device worthless. (If you can't see the time, it's not a very useful clock...) I returned it.
 Cool little clock..... October 18, 2008

I had the same issue as one of the other reviewers where my volume knob did not work... so I returned to Amazon and ordered from another vendor believing Amazon received a bad lot. I was correct, second clock worked perfectly. br / br /This is a "Great" little clock radio... easy to use and to set alarms. Separate dial knobs in the rear make setting the time and two alarms a breeze. My wife loves the ease of use as well. She never used the old clock ever though it was dual alarm (she did not want to learn the crazy process of setting the old clock) but now she is always using this one. Thing is so simple you barely need a manual but don't worry its there and fairly easy to follow. Lots of options on this clock, alarm from radio to buzzer that slow escalates in volume, radio has digital tuning. Line option for MP3 player and variable brightness for clock. Clock can be analog or digital. My wife likes this as well, she thinks its cute. Snooze and sleep timer are programmable and the alarm even works if power is out ... though have not tested this feature yet. br / br /In short, the clock with its small footprint was exactly what we wanted... only reason why I did not give it highest rating was due to first unit with faulty volume knob.

I got this for my six year old daughter and she was very excited. I like the analog/digital feature; it's easy to switch back and forth and my daughter can learn to tell time. The clock is small, easy to use, and the display doesn't light up the room. The sound quality isn't great, but it's only $15.
