Above Average

The Good
Sound quality is very good for a fairly small single speaker radio. There's plenty of base, etc. The quality and workmanship appear to be very good. It has a stereo headphone jack on the front (and the input jack on the back) to allow you to listen to late night radio w/o disturbing the significant other. The radio reception is very good with the internal antenna (I haven't tried the external connection to date). A was able to DX some distant AM stations - (Summer is not the ideal time for DX'ing).The RDS allows you to see the song titles, radio station name, etc. I haven't found a station in my large metro area that broadcasts the RDS time - an atomic clock feature would have been much more useful.

The Bad
It has a single alarm setting (vs dual alarms). Setting the alarm is initially complicated (not intuitive - you would have a hard time initially w/o the manual).
The display is not that easy to see from any distance (LCD vs. LED) day or night. It has three back light level settings. The backlight lights up the room at night, so you end up turning it off. Then if you wake up and try to look at the time, the back light is off, so you can't see it. It has separate backlight settings for radio on and radio off and retains the settings (ie the backlight would come on with the alarm if you had it set that way).

The Ugly
The illuminated blue LED power light is way too bright - It lights up the room at night and you have to point it away from you to avoid the light in your eyes.
I purchased the "Walnut" version - it was more like light pine in color. I bought a stain/finish at HD and refinished the radio to a walnut color (another $7 and two coats of stain-finish).

This clock/radio is a perfect fit on the bedside table. It has great sound. Easy to program. The one drawback is that you cannot see both the time and radio stations at the same time. You have to push a button to see the time seperately. Another plus is that you can set the backlight to various options including off. We got rid of the old radio because the light kept us awake! I highly recommend this unit to anyone. Very nice!

I bought this for my wife, as a kitchen radio. It works and sounds better than I expected. Reception is good without external antenna. I would recommend this radio to anyone who wants a compact stationary radio. I'm planning to hook-up my wife mp3 player to this radio also, but have not gotten around to it yet.
