Customer Review: Can I give it a negative 5 stars? DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this clock radio for a gift about a year ago and after going through several I still have the same problems (except now it is no longer under warranty). First, the CD player only lasts about 2 - 4 weeks before it quits. And this didn't just happen with the first one I bought but with the replacements, too!
The sound is OK - it's supposed to be stereo - but any stereo effect is lost with these speakers.
Finally, the indiglo dial is adjustable but is also unreadable without glasses if you need them.
The company that makes this product is not very helpful in getting a repair either. You have to send them money to look at it. They are unresponsive as well as a letter of complaint did not even receive the courtesy of a reply.
Their technical service is also "wonderful!" Their solution to fix the CD player before sending it in is to remove the batteries and unplug it. Let it sit a few minutes then replace the batteries and plug it back in. Reminds me of the old Dick Van Dyke show gag (for those of you old enough to remember) for "fixing" a defective phone.
Customer Review: Good Value
Summary: 4 Stars
After using this clock radio for about 2 weeks, I am quite happy with it. The nature sounds are not perfect, but if you allow your mind to drift, they are easy to fall asleep by. The best recommendation is to get your favorite nature CD, and fall asleep to that (you can easily control all functions for wake-up and sleep modes).The biggest problem with this clock is the display. The numbers are very large, but Timex chose their house technology (indiglo) instead of LED's. If you are blind without glasses, the backlighted display is hard to read.
That aside, it is a good value, and after reading the instructions once, the controls are very intuitive.
Customer Review: Terrible product - Poorly thouht out
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a poor product, you cannot even use the cd player and buzzer together for waking up. The sound generally and the nature sounds in particualr are poor as well. Don't waste your money.Customer Review: Not worth THAT much
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this thing for about a year and it's been okay for me. It has a battery compartment so power outages won't screw up the clock. It's pretty easy to set up too.My only real complaints are the "nature sounds", the audio quality, and the lack of any anti-skip technology. The "nature sounds" are totally horrible. Although I guess you might want something really annoying to wake you up. The sound is pretty bad too. If it's not turned up very loud, probably too quiet to wake you up, it sounds decent. If you turn something up full volume though, it'll definately sound like crap. Not to mention that the actual sound output usually causes the CD to skip. Oh, yeah, the actual sound of the CD spinning is pretty loud too.
With all of that in mind I don't think anyone should pay over $40 for this. I gave it a 3 because despite all of those things it always ... right on time.
