RCA RP5430

Pros: Good features, good design, great price

Cons: Haven't found any

The Bottom Line: I'd buy it again without a second thought; it is my new standard for a good clock.

Review: I hadn't realized until recently that buying an alarm clock was such as difficult proposition. My requirements were (I thought) modest: * Dual alarms, preferably with tone * Easily readable display * Snooze control * Battery backup The first ...

Pros: Big readout, great reception, gradual wake alarm.

Cons: Could be a little too bright for some.

The Bottom Line: Well priced alarm with many features. I would recommend this alarm to anyone.

Review: I bought this to replace an old one. It is super easy to set up and functions perfectly. I would say this is a great buy and is reasonably priced for what you are getting. Things I love about it: 1. Giant numeric readout in relaxing blue with a ...

Pros: See below.

Cons: I have no complaints about this product.

The Bottom Line: Considering how easily your mood can be affected by starting off the day either relaxingly or stressfully, it's well worth it to invest in this handsome timepiece.

Review: What a great find this alarm clock turned out to be!  I was looking for a clock with a less harsh alarm tone, and this one provided not only that, but also an automatically-increasing volume function.  Here are the other features I ...

Pros: Compact size, good basic features, decent sound

Cons: The aux. input cable could be a little longer

The Bottom Line: Clock radios are hardly the centerpiece of most home audio systems. If what you need is an easy-to-see unit, this will do it for a good price.

Review: Without glasses, my eyesight is pretty dismal, so when it came time to buy a new clock radio, a sharp—and large—display was the biggest priority; everything else was negotiable. I’d been using a trusty Timex Indiglo clock radio for over 10 years, and ...

Pros: Large, easy-to-read numbers, good quality sound, contemporary look, dimming numbers.

Cons: Alarm disable button hidden, easy to forget about on weekends.

The Bottom Line: A great clock radio at a great price, packed full of useful features, and stylish to boot!

Review: When my wife and I bought our new house, I wanted to coordinate the accents in each room. In our bedroom, that meant brushed stainless, dark wood, and blue colors for most of the pieces, which meant my old black plastic alarm clock radio with red LED ...

Pros: looks decent visually, works

Cons: Very bright, much too bright.

The Bottom Line: I would not buy this one again, its just bright. If you want a nightlight to go along with your alarm, this might be a good model for you.

Review: This is a pretty bright alarm clock. Really. Even with the dimmer it is much to bright. Everything else about the alarm is pretty good. It does have the option for multiple alarms which is great. The nap option is kind of easy to accidentally ...

Pros: Beautiful aesthetic design and extremely nice feature set

Cons: Very poor construction.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy unless you don't mind replacing soon.

Review: This is a beautifully simple clock with a host of nice features that worked well for about 6 months. Some things I love about it are the dual alarms with Graduwake (alarm starts out soft and grows louder---so nice!) and the auto dimming clock. I like my ...

Pros: Big multi-purpose display, digital radio tuning, excellent price, auto-dimmer, easy to reach controls

Cons: Poor quality, makes noises when radio is off, easily broken

The Bottom Line: Not recommended

Review: Update: After using this product for a year, I have found that it makes "crackling" noises constantly during the night. It appears to be a design flaw, because I got a deal on an identical unit (refurbished) and unfortunately it makes and "identical" ...

Pros: 1. Gradual alarm 2. Unit is somewhat attractive 3. Blue, not red, LEDs. Auto-dimming.

Cons: 1. Automatic time-set does not work as advertised. 2. Bad quality control.

The Bottom Line: Lacks advertised features, electrical build quality is faulty.

Review: I had a pre-Thomson GE radio alarm clock, from ~1987, and it had lasted until a couple weeks ago (alarm gave out), so I thought that a Thomson alarm clock, this time an RCA branded one, would be just as well-built and long lasting. I was wrong. I have ...

Pros: Blue LED

Cons: Um...that neither one of them worked?!?!?

Review: I bought this at one local retailer. The "quick start" instructions said to set the time zone and daylight savings time buttons before it's plugged in and it would set itself. It didn't. The display read 0:08. When I tried to change the numbers, they ...
