Digital camera reviews of Sangean RCR-5 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio
Digital camera Review: Decent clock but poor sound quality for radio
Summary: 3 Stars
Unfortunately this clock radio is a long way from some of the better sounding models. Granted the price isn't bad, but the sound is pretty empty considering Sangean's history.Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I was never able to get a really good reception. I had to keep moving the antenna and the placement. It was obvious that it would not receive good enough to enjoy. I returned it, and I must say that it was a very easy return. I recommend Amazon highly for the ease of returning an item that is not satisfactory.Digital camera Review: Do not buy!
Summary: 1 Stars
Settings and use are cumbersome and complicated. To set alarm and change setting requires multiple combinations of pushing buttons to get to area and then resetting all the way through. Use of the presets is also NOT user friendly. As a whole, this unit is not made for someone who may need, even on an occasional basis, to set an alarm to a different time. I would NOT recommend this alarm clock.Digital camera Review: Fit the need perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a small, AM/FM clock radio for the nightstand - I didn't need any kind of ipod dock, CD player, external speakers, etc - but it HAD to have an earphone jack (for listening to late night talk radio) and adjustable display brightness; and it had to run on AC (no batteries) and not take up half the nightstand; also I was hoping for under $50. This combination of features (or non-features) was actually hard to fine, and the Sangean turned out to be it. I was a bit reluctant to order this at first due to some of the negative comments on reception, but I get perfect reception on both AM & FM. Also, the controls are very intuitive and easy to learn and use - no 50 page instruction manual required. I rated sound at 3 stars, but it is acceptable for its size, and I use Skull Candy headphones anyway Skull Candy Chrome (also very good product). Great radio, came in original packaging in 4 days with super saver savings.Digital camera Review: Good - but a problem
Summary: 3 Stars
Lots of good features but I have one problem. I recently had a power outage at 2:00 PM and did not know about it until I returned home that night at 7:00 PM. I manually had the clock re-synch (it was 20 minutes slow)and all was well the next morning. However, this brought up a shortcoming of the product. If I hadn't re-synched it, my assumption is that it re-synchs every day at 3:00 A.M. and I would have been awakened at my normal time (the clock did remember my alarm settings). But this brings us the question - what if the outage occurs after 3:00 AM and lasts for 20 minutes. Will I be awakened 20 minutes later than I wanted? Something to consider when considering this product.
