Customer Review: Hunk of junk in sheep's clothing
Summary: 1 Stars
I was in the market for a cd/clock radio, saw this one which looks very nice, and took it home. Now, i'm getting ready to take it back. what's wrong with it? Here we go...1) The LED is WAY to bright. It has a dimmer switch on the back, but since the it's not the numbers that light up, but rather the screen, even on the lowest setting it is like a mini-floodlight; alright from across the room but not nice next to your bed.
2) The CD alarm plays for a half hour and then goes to this smoke-alarm on steroids beeping. Alright when you are asleep, but when you wake up to a CD and start puttering around getting ready, and the beep hits, you immediately start looking for the fire.
3) The radio doesn't work. It gets good reception, but for some odd reason it won't register anything below 97.0 on the FM dial, no matter what position the marker is in. 3 out of the 4 tolerable stations are now unreachable for me.
4) The CD player isn't freindly in the morning. After the beep is shut off, the CD player seems uncertain that you actually want to hear music, even after you've pushed play. If you are lucky, you will get a song or two out before self-doubt overwhelms it and it stops playing at all.
5) the "dual alarm" is misleading. One alarm is CD, the other is radio. You can't set it to play a CD at one 6:00am, and then again at 8:00am; one of those has to be radio. Basically, rather than a dual alarm, it is two single alarms. If that makes sense. Which it should.
6) The CD player opens if you breathe on it. Well, not literally, but it has a hard time distingishing between an attempt to open the CD cover and any other movement anywhere near / on the clock. I have no idea why this is, but I swear that it opened twice this morning while it was fiddling with the radio.
Anyway, now that i know what can go wrong in one of these things, I'll know what to look for when i return this one.
