Review on ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ Sangean RCR-29BK AM/FM-RDS Weather Alert Clock Radio with Aux-in, USB Phone Charging, and 23 Memory Pre-Sets by David Lesperance

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The time is not displayed in a dark room.

I bought this Sangean RCR-29BK as a bedside clock radio. But the dial isn't illuminated and the hands aren't illuminated, so you can't read the time off the dial in the dark. The dial has a small digital display, it's backlit and dimmable, but shows the date, not the time. Support said they didn't see how to get the digital display to show standard time and offered to bring it back. I did so and ordered a Sangean RCR-9 which has a backlit dial making it more suitable as a night time radio. I think, the Sangean RCR-29BK will function as a clock radio for an office desk. where apparently the lights are on when you are there.

Pros
  • Compact Radios and Stereos
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
