Review on JENSEN JCR 175 Alarm 0 9 Inch Display by Peter Bates

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not the Jensen I knew.

We bought two of these, one on each side of the bed. One of them only receives a couple of radio stations on FM (it doesn't receive our regular station, I might add) and the other clock/radio station only receives two stations, a disgusting and vulgar rock station and a Latin American station. The rock station played the same song all the way from FM 88 to FM 108, and the Latin station was just a little bit in the middle. The sound was "not bad" on one, on the other -"bad quality". Very disappointing. Setting the time and alarm was easy and the display was nice with a soft shade of green. You have the option to wake up with an alarm sound, which is good given the poor quality of the FM tuner. Unfortunately we are sending them back and are looking for other alarm clocks. iLuv looks promising but costs more. We're torn about the cost of the product. One of us was completely disappointed and the other didn't mind spending $20 on this product. Do we buy them again? Probably not!

Pros
  • Nice to use
