Costumer Reviews

Here is the rundown:

Pros:

+Docked flawlessly with my iPod nano 5g.

+All buttons worked.

+Ability to have auxiliary input.

+Wake up bed shaker is a nice touch. (and it has a really extended cord)

+Alarm is a beep that gets louder more than time (and can be utilized in concordance with the bed shaker)

+Can customize both alarms to incorporate diverse alarm kinds (ie. Shaker and beep, shaker and playlist, etc)

Cons:

-Sound was absolutely unbearable with any bass (even with ipod EQ settings set to bass reducer)

-Wake up bed shaker is not as strong as I hoped it to be.

-Product "feels" cheap (thin plastic, low-cost buttons).

-Time setting is clumsy and troublesome, why not just have it sync to the atomic clock (my $15 walmart clock did that)

-There are two bass "holes" in the back that appear to do absolutely nothing (I do not hear anything coming from them)

-A large number of comparable docks have remotes integrated. This does not.

-The screen does not look like it does in the image. It has a bright blue backlight.

Bottom Line:

This is fantastic if you want an alarm clock with various alarm characteristics that will also charge your iPod. You should really not get this if you want to listen to music on it.

Why I gave it two stars:

I got this so I could listen to my iPod though I go to sleep. The sound good quality is so unbearable that I stopped employing it. It nevertheless has nice alarm characteristics, but is overpriced for what I wanted.

A superb idea let down by a few design flaws.

My intent for buying a new alarm clock was two-fold:

1) To enable me to set an alarm which would wake me, without having disturbing other individuals

2) To have a way to dim the clock so it would not disturb my sleep with too significantly light in the space.

Having this connect to an iPod Nano was a bonus.

The initially factor that impressed me from the specs on this alarm clock was the bed shaker. Now, take note, this says Bed Shaker - and it definitely is. Any person sleeping on the identical matress will feel their skull vibrating almost as much as yours, even when you location the vibrating disc under your pillow. 9/ten points for effort - four/ten points for implementation

The second thing that persuaded me to this model was that it appeared, from reading via the reviews that the brightness on the clock was settable from (no backlight) to 9 (vibrant sufficient to read a book by). This seemed amazing as this would permit me to have the backlight off for sleeping and adjust it if/when I required to read the clock... Even so, the implementation of this is a fatal flaw for me with this product. Let me clarify in detail:

a) The brightness adjust demands you to set a new overall brightness level so if you are at you click the Dimmer/Snooze button and it goes to 1. To turn the light off you have to click the button a further 9 occasions to cycle back to . This is awkward, although is way surpassed by the loud clicking produced by the low-priced switch which wakes anybody else not wearing earplugs...

b) Insult is added to injury with the style of the Dimmer/Snooze button. Envision you happen to be sleeping with the backlight off (Dimmer ) and the alarm occurs - you hit the button to enhance the brightness, but it really is a joint-function Dimmer/Snooze button... So, the alarm snoozes - and no matter how numerous times you hit the dimmer/snooze button once again, to turn the brightness up to see the time, nothing occurs. It appears the the clock is in "alarm mode". The only way to see the clock is to fumble for the alarm off button, turn off the alarm permanently and then hit the Dimmer/Snooze button once again to now improve the backlight on the clock to level 1.

I know, and apologise, if this appears like a rant - and possibly my unit is faulty as the Dimmer 1 setting is extremely vibrant and disturbing to sleep.

On the brighter side. The iPod functionality works nicely, even on the new iPod nanos, and the speakers are ok - definitely not hi-fi, but for a bedside table to listen to music whilst reading a book, they are sufficient.

Anyway, please take the review as is, and if you we searching to an alarm clock with similiar prerequisites steer clear of this 1. I wish/hope that these flaws are corrected and welcome any feedback to highlight much better alternatives.

Hope this helps,
