Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very poor sound. hard time setting alarms. No directions on the radio to get it to work, just couldn't make it work correctly.

The worst clock radio I ever bought. Poor quality.

OVERVIEW: Here we have an “Old School” designed clock radio, with a few updated digital setup options, that has zero dependencies for mobile phones, Bluetooth, or WiFi technologies. Don’t need a username, don’t need a password, don’t need an online account, don’t need to download an app to use! Simply plug in the AC adapter, set the current time, set a wake-up time, pick a radio station, then just go to bed. (Life is good living off the grid…) HIGHLIGHTS: LARGE DISPLAY: Readable digits, about 1-3/8” tall, that are dimmable with four intensities. I can now finally wake up and see the time without searching for my glasses. BATTERY BACKUP: Uses two AAA batteries (included) to maintain time and user setup options, if/when AC power is temporarily lost until power is restored. RADIO PRESET: Program up to 20 radio channel presets. (10 AM & 10 FM). DUAL ALARMS: Can program two wake-up times. Plus, you can program to wake up to either an “alarm” or “music”. SLEEP SETTING: Fall asleep listing to music that will automatically turn off at user selectable times. CONTROLS: Although the control scripts are small, they and the button are easily accessible. LO-FI: Recognize this is not a Hi-Fi fully immersive music machine. But an economy alarm clock that includes a radio option in the event you choose not to wake up to a buzzer in your ear. INEXPENSIVE: The price of admission is just a double-sawbuck ($20 bill). RATING: This Insignia Alarm Clock Radio earned itself a solid 4-Star rating primarily for its large digital clock, dual alarm features, and economy pricing. Add another Star if you are able to purchase while on sale. .

Returning it. Very cheap. Difficult to set up, sound quality poor.

Basic alarm clock and radio. No frills or Bluetooth options available.

Very cheaply made. Buttons feel flimsy. The alarm is nearly hearable in a quiet room!

Be aware. The product isn’t suitable for international use. It is only applicable for 110V and not 220V

I Have not received your product yet. Product delayed. Can I refund.

I was looking forward to being able to hear the alarm but I was not able to set the clock or an alarm.

Hard to program, Could not figure out the time, day of the week, all the other things that were involved. Took it back for a frefund

They could not even get it to work at the Customer Pick-up Counter. Apiece of junk.

I love this Insignia clock radio!! It is exactly what I was looking for!! This is a small nightstand fitting clock radio that has many features. It is the perfect bedside clock with 4 dimming settings, radio dial for volume that works really well, sleep timer, and battery backup in case of power interruption. This came packaged well in the box that included the 2 AAA batteries, a cord to plug in the clock/radio, the radio itself and a little instruction booklet. It is a very lightweight clock, and the display size is wonderful! There are 4 levels of dimming, and I use the lowest one when I go to sleep and them turn up the brightness during the day. The numbers are a fabulous size that you can see from across the room and are a green color that makes it great to see against the black background. I like to go to sleep with music on and the turn style volume button works really well for a really low volume setting. It also has a sleep timer that is another great feature!! I'm sad that I didn't find this long ago and spent money on another brand of clock/radio (that is now in the guest room!) I would absolutely recommend this very reasonably priced Insignia clock radio!!

Didn’t like at all. Not worth buying so tossed it in the trash

There is not much to set up involved so it was very simple to get started. Put in the backup batteries and plug in the power adapter. I really like how the LED display brightness can be adjusted between 4 levels. I find that the lowest or next level up is sufficiently bright for a dark room. The numbers are large and easy to read from across the room. Indicator dots for PM and alarm also are easy to identify. This might be a big subjective, but the buttons have kind of a mushy soft feel. People often associate quality with crisp, tactile feel for buttons and switches and these may give the opposite opinion. I can’t speak to the quality or durability of the controls as they work fine and do the job. Setting the clock and alarm times was easy and intuitive. For simple devices if they can pass the test of being able to figure out how to use without referring to the guide, they have been well designed. This one passes the test for setting times. I didn’t find the setting of the radio presets to pass the ease-of-use test though. While easy I did have read the instructions to fully understand the process. That’s not really a big deal though because I don’t really plan on using the radio feature that much anyway. The sound is really tinny, and I am more of a alarm buzzer wake-up type than radio. The other strange design choice was to disable setting the clock and alarm times when the radio is being used. Overall, I found the Insignia alarm clock to be a solid product with a great display that does the job well.

Insigna dubs this clock radio "a simple solution to getting up on time." And I guess that would be true if this were 1980, instead of, well, a good number of years later than that. But in the 40 or so years since then, something called the internet was invented and technology advanced quite a bit. You don't need to manually set the time any more, which is required for this device. The internet can grab that for you and make sure it is right no matter what. Ditto for setting the alarm. Insigna's idea of "simple" is to push a bunch of buttons on top of this little black plastic box until you get the right time to wake up and then manually tune in your favorite radio station (AM or FM! unless you would rather wake up to a buzzer). But in this century, you can buy a device that you can simply talk to -- and tell it when want to wake you up, what time you want an alarm and even what music (or sound effects) you want to wake up to, down to the individual genre, artist or song. But hey, this Insignia clock radio does give you the "advanced" option of not just one, but two different alarms, always handy for working couples. And yes, you can even manually dim the LED display (4 different levels!) should you decide it is too bright (I guess the auto-dimming technology, which has been around for decades, was too advanced to consider). And for the ultimate in hi-tech: battery backup in case the power goes off! Two no-name AAA batteries included! You get the point. This device is very definition of retro. Insignia seemed to go out of its way not to include any technology developed in the last three or four decades. It is just an unremarkable black box with lots of control buttons and a time display. And a built-in radio that sounds just as thin and scratchy as you would expect -- from a 1960s-era transistor radio. Something like this clock radio was probably found in every home in America in the latter part of the last century. I am not sure how many people need one today. But if this is your preference, the Insignia clock radio does everything it promises, in a very 1980s way. There also may be a market among technophobes, privacy advocates and those living off the grid (as long as they have AC power, which is required) . One thing is for sure, you don't have to worry about any tricky surveillance going on with this thing. With no internet connection, no microphones and no cameras, your private life is very safe with this Insignia clock radio. The price tag is pretty economical too. And I have to admit, I really do like that bright green 2-inch LED display. If you just need a clock somewhere in your house that is easy to see across a big room in any lighting, this is just the ticket.

This clock/radio was defective. I don't recommend it.

Took it back couldn't set the volume of the alarm only the radio part of it

I only had it a week and it stopped working. Had together my money back

We returned the item, the clock wasn’t easy to set up.

Clocked worked one night and stopped working such a disappointment
