It worked great for some time

The radio tape recorder is just fantastic and worked for about 6 months and after that the volume control stopped working and then it all went downhill. It stopped working at all which was quite a disappointment because I really enjoyed using it while it was working.

Simply not. on Home Audio

It may seem like a cute little radio, but to be honest it's user-friendly in many ways. I wonder if the designers have ever showered with them in the same cubicle with this gadget. You can't see the controls to turn the clock or radio on and off. You may turn on the light first to see the clock, but then it goes off. If you want to see the time again, you need to stop clearing and press the clock light button again. How to be late for work! And a radio with a timer; Too long in the bath, he…

Radio is not easy to use

This product has a great idea with the combination of clock, timer and radio. Unfortunately, it has several problems. The worst thing about radio. The manual dial is far away. FM radio stations start at frequency 88, but the dial only goes to 92. Since you can't use the dial to find a specific channel, I had to use a different radio to find the channel I wanted. This prevents a simple channel change. In addition, to use the radio you must use the timer to listen, you cannot just turn on the…

  • Easy to use

Working but disappointing

The best part is the hanger pictured above. Other than that I can't say much about this one. Although the price was very affordable. But for starters, there's a long external antenna for VHF.

First you need to press the button to display the clock. Then if you want to play the radio, you have to press

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Functionality

it would be nice to turn the switch on/off

The last thing I want to do at 4am is fiddle with the timer. and the ONLY WAY to turn it on is to use a timer - this just annoys me. I guess it's not a big deal but I just wanted a basic radio to use in the shower. I'm pretty sure I can turn it off when I'm done. Sure, it would be nice to have an automatic shutoff, but having to "click-click-click" at 4am to turn the damn thing on (instead of flipping a switch) is ridiculously annoying. Yes, the battery compartment can be a little annoying, but

Pros
  • Big selection
Cons
  • Nothing here
