Customer Review: Does Not Charge 1st, 2nd, 3rd Gen iPods,
Summary: 5 Stars
I searched around and decided to go with the iLuv i177 because of the reviews. When I received it I set it up and noticed that it was not charging my iPod. When I went to the trouble shooting guide on page 17 of the owners manual it stated that the i177 will not charge 1st, 2nd or 3rd Gen iPods. However if you read the description of this product it states that it charges all iPods. I sent Amazon an email to let them know this issue so others will not think this model will charge their older iPods. On the up side, the sound is quite good. I like the ability to turn off the time display light and while the remote is small it is handy. I would recommend the i177 to anyone who has at least a 4th Gen iPod. This is why I gave it 5 stars. The description is misleading however the product works well.Customer Review: Great product, didn't find other bad reviews to be true
Summary: 5 Stars
For this product, I've seen some decent reviews and some really bad ones. However, I cannot find anything really wrong with it. I think the sound quality is exceptional. One negative I've seen about this product is they claim it is too loud of an alarm. This is not true. If you adjust the volume lower prior to turning it off, it will have an alarm at similar volume. It was a little bigger than I expected, but not so big that it was difficult to find a place to put it. Some other people have said products such as these do not fully charge your iPod, but I found no such problems. The remote is very convenient. It's a little confusing figuring out its system of setting the alarm because all alarm clocks are different. Once you figure it out though, it is very simple.Customer Review: Just stopped working
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought the iLuv for our daughter when she was 12 because it supposedly would dock a Shuffle. That never did work right. But, as an alarm clock it worked great for about a year. But, just a couple days ago, our daughter was late getting ready for school because her iLuv alarm didn't go off. Sure enough, the display was totally blank and none of the functions worked. I have no idea what happened to it. There is a light plugged in to the same outlet, and it still turns on, so the breaker didn't flip. I've tried plugging it in to other outlets in the house, but there's nothing from the iLuv. No reset button to press...I guess this is the age of disposable electronics. What a waste. We bought her an iHome and now she's back in business.Customer Review: Good product.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this for a few weeks now. The dual alarm feature is pretty good and one of the main reasons I bought it. It also has a good sleep timer that can be set on different times. The sound is clear and does the job. This is not for someone that is looking for a full feature high end stereo. This is for someone that wants a good alarm radio that can play their ipod. The downfall is the remote, if the reason you are buying it is the remote, I would suggest try to find something else. I have a 160gb iPod classic and it fits perfectly, it also has different docks for other ipod sizes. It looks really nice and the screen can be set at 3 different light settings or off. Overall I think it is a good product.Customer Review: Great Reception, Great Sound, Perfect Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been looking for a good bedside clock radio for sometime now, and specifically one that had decent reception on the AM band, and I'd pretty much given up hope.
I was drawn to this product as much for the iPod interface as anything else. My wife and I don't have a sound system in our bedroom and there was something nice about the idea of being able to bring our music to bed with us.
You'll be glad you bought this product for that reason alone. The sound quality that comes out of the radio belies it's relatively small size and low price.
And, yes, it has great radio reception on both the AM and FM bands.
Definitely worth looking into.
