Sangean RCR-22 Atomic Clock Radio

I have been looking for a good, simple bedside radio for 3 years now, something without an "ipod" or fancy plug-in speakers or any of that other trash. I've spent $25-40.00 each on other radios over the past few years, only to be disappointed. This Sangean is terrific! Besides the great sound, the "nap" timer/alarm is perfect for that "power-nap"-you don't have to mess around with setting the alarm. The push-buttons are a big plus, as I switch stations all the time. The alarm selections and the complete display of all the things that are set and going on with the radio are just fantastic-you know exactly what you have set up on the radio at a quick glance. I couldn't be happier and I may order a "back-up'" for myself or for a gift!

This is an outstanding Product. I really enjoy the dual alarm features and the modulating volume when the alarm sounds (increasing from low to high) so that you are not vaulted out of bed from such a booming sound. I wish that the display could be completely dimmed verses only slightly (display light is to bright even on the lowest setting). There is a feature on the bottom of the clock, which assist with the day light savings. Make sure it is set for the correct time zone.

I bought this for my 85 yr old mother. I was always having to reset her other clock/radio whenever the power went out or when there was a time change. This atomic clock eliminates all of that. The feature allowing a change in the brightness of the display is great! She also likes the feature of setting an alarm on a day-by-day basis. The set-up instructions weren't too bad but you can still tell they weren't written in English originally and there are some translation syntax errors.

Impressed with all the features, especially the output jack. I'm able to use my sleep earphone and enjoy the radio without disturbingmy partner.
