Title: About as disappointing as they come
Product review: I have a few diferent alarm clock/radios - an older Panasonic and a new Aiwa. I bought this one for my kid and was very sorry. I ended up returning it. The reception was poor compared to the Aiwa and the only reason I tried the Timex was because it has a dimmer for the display. On its higher settings its like a beacon in the night, but to get it low enough so its not distracting when trying to sleep you have to turn it so low you can't read it!The control panel is mediocre at best and you will probably spend a lot of time fumbling to set it or turn it off in the morning. Steer clear and grab the aiwa if you like this type product (my decade old Panasonic still beats them both, alas without any tape or CD features!)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
