Not worth it [Posted on 2008-02-12]
CD stopped working after a few days. Unit would actually stop working and would have to turn it back on several times.
Very Disappointed [Posted on 2008-02-13]
My wife purchased this alarm clock for me for Christmas 2007. It is the second piece of Coby electronic equipment that I've owned. My experience is that Coby builds extremely CHEAP (meaning, poor quality) products. My complaints with this product are:
1) The product does not keep accurate time (gains about 7-8 minutes per month - most likely an electronics design flaw that recurs in each of these alarm clocks).
2) The product "hums" through the speakers (a short in the internal electronics due to poor circuit board design - also a design flaw that probably recurs in each of these alarm clocks). Interestingly, when the product is powered ON, like when the user wants to listen to a CD but hasn't yet hit the play button, the humming quits. BUT, if the unit is left ON accidentally, the alarm does NOT work. I know. I powered the unit ON to get the annoying humming to stop and was late to work the next day because the alarm never sounded.
3) CD door is overly difficult to open and close (a coefficient of friction design flaw that is also recurring, probably).
4) The LED display is overly bright and no dimmer switch is featured (yet another design flaw).
5) All plastic parts are extremely cheap. White plastic cabinet parts are not the same color of white (do not match). Silver paint on buttons will obviously soon wear off, etc.
While this alarm clock had all of the features that I was looking for in an alarm clock (except for the dimmer switch), the aforementioned list of design flaws forced me to return the product as defective. Bottom line: VERY CHEAPLY BUILT!
Cheap design, but works well [Posted on 2008-04-29]
We've had no problems with this unit. It is pretty cheaply made and I'm actually surprised that the CD door hasn't broken off yet.
The time also seems to be just a little bit faster than other clocks, as I have to move the time back a couple of minutes every couple of months.
Shocked [Posted on 2008-06-04]
I purchased two of these Cd Player alarm clocks for my boys. What a piece of JUNK! They both would never keep the time, both started flashing, and then one of them just stopped working all together....with the battery in. I returned both to the store. I am searching for other brands, though I do like my portable Coby cd player and it is working great after two years, but these CD Player alarm clocks were not worth the money nor the time. Now I have two boys who are disappointed. I will probably have to get alarm clocks and cd players separate. Really did not want to do that. BUT DO NOT BUY THIS ONE. THERE ARE TOO MANY GLITCHES.
ok but the tuner could be better [Posted on 2008-12-12]
This unit is ok but it could use a digital tuner with some pre-sets instead of the old dial type. antenna is a little wimpy, too. The cd player needs to be treated with care when closing the top, other than that it seems to work ok. We will see how well it hold up with future use.This was purchased mainly because of the dual voltage switch, as it will be used world wide.
