Excellent radio

This radio has every feature I look for in a clock radio. The setup was easy and the radio itself exceeded my expectations. It is quite attractive and I look forward the light level of the clock. It can go from completely dark to very bright and...

Great Clock Radio

Bought this after much debate. My previous clock radio from a local store finally died after 25 years of use. Wasn't sure what was available so my wife and I started looking and all of the local stores had very little to offer in the way of a decent...

Competent Alarm Clock Radio

I had been looking for an AM\/FM radio alarm clock with the atomic clock feature that would also charge\/play my Ipod. Not that easy to find. Manufactures commonly neglect the AM tuners these days and either leave them out or give you one that is...

Weak reception

We have had this radio for about a year. From day one it had trouble finding the auto clock source even though other units in the house have no problem using the atomic clock. If I set the clock manually it will hold for a few days or weeks and then...

What a cool gadget!!

Radio sounds great. You might expect this from Sangean. Built very solidly. The volume and tone controls have a beefy feel to them. Atomic accuracy--No more than a few billionths of second off each day. Analog clock is not actually a clock but a servo...

I like this clock radio

I purchased this sangean clock radio about 3 yeqrs ago. I bought it because I didn't want another boring clock radio but something that looked jazzy. This radio fit the bill. It's not perfect! If you want perfect DO NOT buy this one. The atomic clock...

Great for radio & alarm - terrible for clock

The radio reception and the different alarm features are great! However, the clock features are absolutely terrible. You have to be within 12 inches of the clock to see the time because it is so dim and blends into the blue background.
