Won't work long, poor build, marginal design
This clock has always felt 'flimsy.' Now, after only 1 year of service, some of the LED segments indicating the time have completely burnt out. It has been gradual, too: first some segments, then a few more, etc. I can't even tell if the alarm...

Only Alarm Clock Ever Owned That I had to throw out
Do not buy this! In my opinion the positive reviews were written when the product was new. It is a nice looking clock however I had major problems with it and I had to toss it. Sending it for warranty is too much of a hassle and the shipping...

Beware!
I liked the big display, easy to set-features and the tuning accuracy afforded by a digital tuner. Two problems: if you turn the volume all the way up, you may have total silence from the radio (I missed my flight). Second, after three months the...

Good features but cheaply built
I got this clock almost a year ago, and instantly loved it. I like the big blue numbers, and the features are great (adjustable snooze time, big snooze button, automatic time set, DST switch, battery back up, 2 alarms, etc.). From this alone I...

I bought a different RCA unit with the same display...
In March of 2006, I purchased a RCA RP3720, which has been discontinued. But judging by the photo of this product, and the feature set, I'd say it is the same clock. The display, which is why I am writing this review, looks identical in the...

Worked fine for 6 months, then LCD started going out...
Got this as a Christmas present last year. It worked fine for about 6 months (even though the screen was like a spotlight at night)...and then the LCD started going out. First it was a part of the last digit, then the buzzer indicator light went...

Electronics failed within one month
This alarm clock seemed perfect - large display, easy to understand and use buttons - automatic dimmer. Unfortunately, the switch to set the first alarm failed within a few weeks (it started setting the time instead of the alarm). A week or so...

Love it...but construction is faulty
We love all the features of this clock. The alarm is very pleasant, but gets loud enough to wake even deep sleepers. The blue light glows a little too bright, but the color is nice.

Nice Radio...
It's a nice radio with lots of easy to use features and for $20 you can't go wrong. The fidelity of the radio is much better for talk than music but is decent. The "digital" tuning is nice for finding stations but no stations can be preset. When...

Clock
The clock has the one feature that makes it appealing to me-it has an alarm tone that is relatively soothing. All of the other alarm clocks that I have had, had abrasive tones that kept me awake in anticipation of the shrill tone; I became...
