The world's best radio-controlled alarm clock and radio

Many years ago I bought one of the first RCR-3 radio-controlled clocks. It recently lost the ability to dim the watch face. Now he's doing accurate timing in my recording studio. I really liked this watch, especially the excellent sensitivity and sound of the radio. However, it was quite large. When I saw the RCR-9 on Revain I jumped on it. I received it yesterday and am happy with my purchase. Please note that as with all Sangean products, it is important to read the manual. Once I did that…

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • too stupid

The sound is not very good but I didn't buy it for.

I don't understand why people have so many problems programming this clock. All instructions took 1 minute. But on the flip side, I'm used to reading ambiguous instructions that definitely exist. The sound isn't great but I didn't buy it for the sound, I bought it to wake me up in the morning. I got this because the RCR-3 was not available from Revain. The RCR-3 is much better, but Sangean really needs to update this watch. I have this for the week/weekend function. This is a step down from the

  • Pretty package

Tested many clock radios which made it easy to tell the time

Bought this clock from Revain in December 2013. They had three important features: a face that was easy to see when lying in bed , an alarm clock that only allowed sound programming on weekdays, and a black finish. I previously bought a Sangean CL-100 weather alarm clock which offered a programmable alarm but showed the time from above making it impossible to see the time from bed. I've reviewed many clock radios that made it easy to tell the time, but they were all cheap and rang at the same…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Excellent radio with a rare analogue display and automatic time setting

I had to return the first RCR-9 due to intermittent audio cutouts. The radio suddenly turned off, which could sometimes be resolved by fiddling with the volume control or banging the radio on the table. This rating is based on the second radio I received. During the week I had it, it worked great. The RCR-9 is a compact radio, about 5 inches on each side, that delivers good sound with decent bass. With some music genres, the sound is a bit muddled. The voice is particularly pleasant. Due to the

Pros
  • Sweet

  • Some defects

Review of Sangean RCR-9

So my REALLY good Boston Acoustics solo fell apart and I needed a new clock radio. I checked and apart from the Sony range there wasn't much to choose from unless you wanted a model with an iPod dock. I looked at the entire Sangean line and it was at the top of my price range. The bottom line is that it's a solid choice so far. Here's why I like it: First, I like the clean look and the fact that there are no buttons on the front. Just a beautiful super easy to read analog clock face. The…

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
