Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iHome iH4 Alarm Clock Speaker System with Dock for iPod (Black)
Customer Review: Ipod Touch Users Beware!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I received an IH4 for my birthday with an Ipod Touch. When using the IH4 with an ipod touch there is a high level of static coming from the dock's speaker. I returned it to the store thinking something was wrong. I got a second one and have the same problem. I called I Home and the technician said that they are aware of the problem and there is nothing that they can do. Beware when purchasing if you have a touch!! This faulty dock is not worth the 50 dollars. If it wasn't a gift, i would most certainly demand my money back. I am never buying an I-home product again. It is pretty lame when a company recognizes a fault in the product and continues to sell it.Customer Review: Wear sunglasses at night

Seemed like a good idea to wake up to my iPod. The problem was that the backlighting and sidebar lights on this clock are so bright that it practically lit up the whole room, even at its lowest setting. I had to put electrical tape over the sidebar lights to make it somewhat bearable at night. However, the backlighting of the digital time display was still too bright to leave on at night, so I turned that off. Problem is, if you wake up at night and want to see what time it is you have to hit a button to backlight the digital display and when I did I was practically blinded by the brightness. I returned it within a week.Customer Review: Great Customer Service

I love my iHome IH4, but when the connection between the iPod and the speaker dock unit started giving me problems (and eventually quit altogether) just a few months into my ownership, I was quite bummed. I contacted the iHome company via email, stating my enjoyment of their product and asked if repair was a feasible option. Their response was prompt and the issue was dealt with completely and efficiently. I am beyond impressed with their dedication to their customers and willingness to amend the problem, even outside of the unit's warranty. I can't guarantee others will share my experience, but I couldn't be happier!Customer Review: Good ipod dock/charge/alarm clock
Summary: 4 Stars
Most reviewers have mentioned a few things which I think is not true of the product.
The lowest setting of the nite lite is OK for a totally dark room. The alarm is a gradual increase in volume, so you might not be able to hear the start of the song for a few seconds but it gets loud enough to wake you up. But if you set it to a loud rock song that plays loud right from the beginning you will be able to hear the song almost immediately. It works with the ipod nano 4g (which a reviewer said it doesn't).
Overall it is a very functional, well built, ipod charger/dock/alarm clock. No complaints.
Customer Review: Many Poor Design Decisions
Summary: 2 Stars
1) The iPod Mini will not connect as long as the adapter is installed. Instead, I need to remove the adapter and let it wobble there on the top. 2) There is no way to push the side buttons without first feeling for the correct button, then gripping the entire unit. Pressing the buttons without full grip only pushes the iH4 to the side.
3)Gives the impression that it includes the remote, but doesn't.
4) The display is too bright and sports high intensity LEDs to add to the illumination.
5) Sleep (the best feature of iHome units) is a small button rather than a large bar like snooze.
