Nice Unit

Pros:
  • This is a nice unit that I bought a couple weeks ago
  • It was on sale so I paid less than the current list
  • It replaced the Radio Shack unit we had used for years which had a pretty crummy FM radio in it
  • This units radio works and sounds a lot better...and although I am a computer technician..
Cons:
  • none

Sangean RCR-5 Clock Radio

Great clock radio. Small size. Good digital tuner. Brightness control. Sound is quite good for a clock radio. Nice that it also features an auxiliary input as well as an output for headphones or PC speakers.

I was surprised at the excellent sound quality from such a small radio. It does not take up much space on the table, the display is an orange color, but pleasing enough. You can dim or brighten the display with the use of the knob on the bottom of the radio.

Great Value

Performs as it should. I needed a connection for an earphone so I could listen at night without disturbing my wife. This is the only clock radio I could find with this feature. Small, compact, great night display, great presets and sleep functions.

better than the rest!

I've tried out just about every clock radio with a digital tuner (a must have feature for convenient, "no guess" tuning) including "high end" clock radios from a number of quality, well-known retailers and this one is by far the best.
Pros:
  • Attractive Design
  • Clear Display
  • Compact Size
  • Good sound quality
  • Good Value
  • Great features
  • Keeps Good Time
  • Reliable
Cons:
  • All buttons the same
  • Difficult to adust dimmer

Happy!

Works quite well for my AM radio reception. This is my second Sangean radio (my first is a different model), and I will keep buying this brand. I listen to AM talk radio, and it is very difficult to find a radio that has decent enough reception.

It does wake me.

I wanted a radio alarm to replace my 1990 Sony, but the prices have changed. This radio had great reviews, but it turned out to be much smaller and tinnier than I expected. I also had visions of the "humane alarm" waking me to gradually increasing volume on the radio. It only works on the buzzerd.
Pros:
  • Easy To Set
Cons:
  • The sound is tinny
