    Purchased this unit for a spare bedroom. The one I had in there died, & as said in an earlier review these type are now hard to find for a reasonable price. Sure wasn't going to get a Bose like I have in my master bedroom. Get what you pay for & I think this unit has better sound than I expected, much better. No one who has stayed in that over flow guest suite complained or had problems using it. Am totally satisfied with it & would certainly purchase again! Glad I bought it.

    2 alarms are great but...

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Replacing an old "atomic" alarm clock that died. Others have said it but instructions are Very confusing.! Power OFF to program.? I did like the BIG digital display that can be dimmed for sleeping. Always nice to have 2 alarms - weekday and weekend. But could NOT find a way to review alarm time/s without having to re-set time all over again.

    JUST DOESN'T WORK

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I received one as a Christmas present. I was able to set the time, but when I tried to set the alarm time, it would keep resetting itself to 12 midnight when I turned the alarm on. Also, the C.D. player wouldn't work and the radio didn't sound at all good. I returned it to BEST BUY for an exchange and when I got home found that the new one I had just picked up was also a returned unit. (It was improperly packed ant the instructions were missing.) I brought it back to the BEST BUY and got another unit and stayed at the store to verify that it worked properly. Even the store's employees couldn't get the C.D. player to work. "Is it live or is it Memorex ?" This one was just plain dead. I gave this item 1 star, but that was only because I couldn't give it a negative star rating.

    horrible

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased the 2 yr extended warranty and twice I had to return the Memorex close to the expiration date, because the CD player malfunctioned (just spinning, repeating song selections, not spinning at all, whirring noises, et cetera). I have to replace it again, but this time I won't purchase the extended warranty and will just junk it, the next time that the CD player malfunctions. I intend to express my concerns to Memorex, as well!

    CD stopped working at 90 days. Poor instructions and hard to set. Really frustrating to have product fail with no recourse.

    Not very pleased with sound or life....

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We purchased the unit in December as a Christmas gift, and by March it was dead. My son walked across his room and touched it. He had built up a static charge and apparently Memorex doesn't design it's circuits to withstand any level of ESD (ElectroStaticDischarge). The clock works but none of the buttons do anything any more which means it's just a big clock now. The sound was very disappointing from the get go... so just out the $33, as it was only a 90 day warranty, and we were at day 97.

    I Love This CD Clock (so far)

    I love this cd clock. I may buy a second one so I don't run out. I even bought the service contract. Something I never do. But I love waking to a cd of my choice.

    Not the best

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The CD player would not work at all after being used only 5 times. Also, if you fall asleep to a CD, or the Radio, the alarm can not be set to wake you up with the Buzzer. Whatever you fall asleep to is what you are stuck waking up to.

    Ok radio alarm, reception is terrible

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really needed a small radio with a headphone jack for work. After searching high and low, I finally found this at a reasonable price. Other than this radio having a terrible FM antenna that barely picks up any station, it is not bad. Get a weird static sound even when the power is off at times as well.

    CD player not working effectively

    Was satisfied until trying to play CDs. They would play for a few seconds to around half a minute and then stop. I tried various CDs so I know it was the player.

    Good Product for someone who still uses CDs

    This product is good as long as the user only uses CDs, because there is no hookup for an iPod. Other than that, it is a great product.
