Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iLuv i177 Alarm Clock Speaker System for iPod (Black)
Customer Review: I love my iLuv
Summary: 4 Stars
I am very happy with this purchase. I chose this model after reviewing other models and a popular complaint of the other systems was the brightness of the time display. This model has three brightness settings and an OFF setting for the display so is perfect for those who like total darkenss! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the size. This is much bigger than any traditional alarm clock I have ever owned and takes up a considerable amount of space on my night stand. With my lamp, phone and this unit, there is no room for any extra's! It does have a remote so, if you have the right room setup, you could position it elsewhere.Customer Review: Alarm volume is too loud and not adjustable to be lower
Summary: 2 Stars
In theory this is a cool device with a neat feature set and sound, however there is a terrible oversight in the alarm-it is way too loud and cannot be adjusted to be lower!
If you like waking up to soft music or talk radio, this device is absolutely not for you. The softest volume setting allowed is way too loud.
I was also not at all impressed with the AM/FM reception.
On the plus side, when connected to my iPod, the unit seems to work and sound pretty well and the remote control is handy. But I can't use this for the intended purpose, as a clock radio to wake me up in the mornings.
Customer Review: Good price for a good ipod alarm clock
Summary: 4 Stars
The reason I settle on this model were the price and the fact that the backlight can be turned off. I am a light sleeper and the iHome would wake me up. The audio quality is pretty good but not fantastic. Radio reception has a little more static to it than any of my home stereos. The quickness of the alarm to get to the highest level is really startling in the morning but not a deal breaker. The remote with mine only has a range of 3 feet. All in all it was a good purchase for the price. All ipod alarms clocks have quirks or features missing so you basically have to decide which feature mean the most to you. This one is the one for me.Customer Review: Don't waste your money on this alarm clock
Summary: 1 Stars
This alarm clock has been nothing but trouble for me. First of all, it always is behind on the time and I have to fix the time every two weeks or so since it gets off by 5 to 10 minutes. Second, the first one I bought was defective and the buttons didn't work. I should have taken this as a clue because when I got the second one the buttons worked for about 6 months and then went out and now only some work and only half the time. Third, after a year of use, it no longer plays my iPod, which is the main reason I bought it. I'd spend money on a higher quality unit since this doesn't work for the basic functions it is used for.Customer Review: I stole it from my boyfriend!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product for my boyfriend last year at Christmas. I did some research and with studying reviews and my budget I decided on the iluv. My boyfriend is a computer nerd and loves tech things. He loves this device. The dimmer causes some problems at night but overall goes unnoticed. It fully charges both our ipods and we have no problem using the click wheel buttons on the top. The alarm has never caused issues for us as far as it being too loud, but we do not have it directly next to our bed either. I recently moved and packed it and brought it with me because I love it so much I don't want to have to find another one!
