Digital camera reviews of Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio
Digital camera Review: Great Alarm Clock
Summary: 5 Stars
This alarm clock turned out to be even better than expected. The display is clear and can be dimmed so that there is not too much light at night. Settings are not lost if the clock gets unplugged or the power goes out. The sound quality is very good compared to other atomic alarm clocks which are typically small battery operated units.Digital camera Review: Great Alarm Clock but....
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall satisfied with this alarm clock. Only wish it had a backup battery in case the power goes out! Also, the reception for the atomic clock is not too hot.Digital camera Review: Great Clock Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this radio from Amazon and was amazed at how much cheaper it was than at retail stores, (about $25 dollars less) and when I first set it up I was immediately impressed with it. But that night when I went to set up the alarm for the next morning it started acting crazy, every time I would press a button the display would begin to flash and while it was flashing everything was frozen. But I finally got it set, and the next morning when my alarm was supposed to go off nothing happened. So I went to Amazon's site and did the online return, and before lunch that day, they already had a new one in the mail which I received the next day along with everything I needed to send the other one back at their cost. Very impressed with the customer service at Amazon!
As for the Radio itself, I couldn't be happier, the display is awesome the sound quality is very good and the "Humane Wake System" is superb. For 60 bucks you simply can't beat it.

I would've given this a 5 start review except for the 5 minute snooze (who snoozes for 5 minutes?). I love the atomic clock feature which automatically adjusted for daylight savings. Display is too bright can be adjusted on the bottom of the unit. Radio stations come in strong and being able to set the alarm for different days and different times is the best feature ever. If you have an alternating schedule in the mornings, this is the clock for you.Digital camera Review: Great Clock Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a super clock radio. Atomic function worked great, the alarms set to the day of the week is a great feature, and the sound is very good for a clock radio. My only suggestion would be to add a battery backup, but as we don't live in an area prone to power outages this isn't really a big deal for us.
There are two recurring complaints about this clock in the reviews: the brightness of the display and the difficulty of the owner's manual. The display is adjustable on the bottom of the clock and can be dimmed to the point where you can't read the display. This clock is far more dim than the Sony it replaced for us. The manual isn't bad, and the controls are pretty intuitive. I did need to look up how to adjust for DST the first time I did it (Hold the "set" button for 4 seconds to move an hour up in the spring and again for 4 seconds to move an hour down in the fall. Not too complex.) but otherwise the functions are really straightforward.
When it's time for another clock radio I'd buy this one again.
