4 out of 5 stars LIked it.......2007-01-16

I liked the style and sound quality. Very handy by the bed, and the price was just right. With everything that it includes it doesn't take up all that much space. Nice product.

2 out of 5 stars not as advertised.......2006-01-28

Audiovox claims some sort of "weekend alarm" and the description here indicates that this is the sort of clock alarm which you can set to go off only on the weekdays, thus saving you long suffering roommate from being blasted out of bed early in the morning on a Saturday when you are out of town. sadly it does not do this. it, like many alarm clocks, has two alarms. you can set them manually, but the alarm has no idea what day of the week it is. we are going to return it.

1 out of 5 stars I wouldn't recommend it.......2006-01-25

I'm not a kid -- 18 years, in fact -- I just didn't want to have register to write one review -- especially when the review was for this thing.

This device has given me a fair amount of grief... The largest problem for me being that I'll often put CD's in and they WON'T PLAY. They spin for a second or two, and then the display reads "no." Previously, I've always managed to eventually get them to play by cleaning the CD, blowing the dust out of the player, etc. Now, however, the CD function has just decided not to work at all. I've never had a problem changing the CD tracks in the alarm setting, but my sister went through two of these, neither of which allowed you to pick the CD track you'd be waking up to -- hers always defaulted to the first track on the CD.

The user interface on this is TERRIBLE. Positively HORRENDOUS. You change between CD and radio mode via a TINY little sliding switch on the side, and you change between buzzer, CD alarm, standby, and play CD mode via a similar switch. Both are labeled by TINY little raised letters that haven't even been painted or colored to stand out from the surrounding plastic.

I think that the greatest punishment for the people who designed this product would be to make them have to use it for a year.

1 out of 5 stars confusing controls.......2005-07-19

With 20/20 vision in bright light, it is very difficult to read the switches that switch between cd and radio. Two switches must be set correctly to switch between radio and cd. If you're only going to use it for one use, radio or cd then it's ok, but if you want both, do this test. Look at the unit in the store, imagine you're in bed in dim light and try to switch between cd and radio modes. If you can do it, buy it.
