The only issue I had was getting the Atomic clock to set the time automatically.

I have to use a large antenna to get a TV signal, so maybe the clock is not defective or maybe it is, but either way, it didn't work.

I do like the atomic clock and receiver functions.

The tuner and audio sections are quite good for a small radio, the atomic clock is awesome, the display is perfect, and the logic of the UI is perfect

Things I really like:-Atomic clock works well-Easy to tune radio and easy to set presets-Duel alarms-Easy to adjust brightness and volume-Alarms that can be set for weekdays/weekends/daily/one time-nice sounding speaker (not a Bose but that is ok)Things that are not deal breakers but could use some improvements:-different color display/adjustable color-slightly bigger buttons on face for controls or move them to different location-wish for a way to have "alarm" light gradually increases vs. full on.-better packaging

Best radio alarm clock I ever owned

Great clock radio all around.

Really good alarm clock

Great Clock.

Great clock

I'm a very proud owner of the RCR-22 - the best atomic clock radio out there right now.

So, this is an expensive clock radio for less than a year of reliable alarm work.

Overall it's a good clock radio, but some of the details of design could use work.

I can safely say, without a doubt, that the RCR-22 is the best atomic clock radio out on the market today

I have an atomic clock and it works wonderfully,

Because of that, I keep an inexpensive Timex atomic alarm clock handy.

The controls exhibit a nice tactile feel -- much better than cheaper clock radios

This clock radio is the best alarm clock I have ever owned

The Sangean RCR 22 DOES NOT work adequately as an atomic clock

This is a great bedroom alarm clock.

The automic clock doesn't work here in Hawaii, but Hawaii doesn't observe daylight saving time so it didn't matter to me

The atomic clock worked when I first plugged it

I already had a thirty-year old clock radio that worked okay

This clock is three seconds slow setting the time.

Once set, the clock worked just as it should and the light dimming feature (located on the bottom of the radio by the way) is great

I really like how pretty it look , and its quality , which is what I really wanted in a good clock radio

The other thing is since it's an atomic clock accurate to the second all the time, I expected it to show seconds, it doesn't.

This is an attractive and functional clock radio.

I can't believe a clock this relatively expensive can have such awful sound

This is the best clock that I have ever owned.

It's a good clock, better than 98 per cent of other clock radios

All in all- a great little clock for the money.

This is a very good clock radio.

until either satellite technology improves or else they figure out how to make the clock so the atomic option works better.

However – this clock may be too bright in the dark of your bedroom, especially if you like as little light as possible

An astounding radio (and clock I suppose)

This clock is vey good.

This a terrific little clock radio, with a lot of features and but not too complicated to set up ( but still be sure to read all the instructions, as for example , the atomic clock need some time to synchronize)It includes an AM, FM radio with good sound.

Atomic clock, dims to where I can sleep, and a very gentle awakening alarm.

I had trouble activating the atomic clock.

The downside: it's rather expensive compared to other clock radios and other "atomic" clocks (but still the cheapest "atomic" clock radio I could find), and the instruction manual is geared toward European users, and doesn't quite match the North American model

However, the LED clock in the radio NEVER kept the correct time!

If the buttons worked perfectly, it would be a fine radio alarm clock and I'd have no complaints

About six months after the purchase, the clock would randomly lose three hours.

(Update on 15 Jul 2012: This issue appears to have stabilized as only a minor annoyance.)In spite of these complaints, I still highly recommend this clock.

The clock itself is great.

and I love the auto clock.

Like the story of Goldilocks and the three bears, it seems like most clock radios available are way too basic or way too complex

If I recall correctly, I bought this clock last year, having bought it as a Christmas present for myselfOn the very first day I got it, the Atomic Clock feature didn't work, and couldn't be MADE to work either, even after leaving it out on my porch all day

The clock functions well and reliably as advertised but has two features that are somewhat annoying.

I had been looking for a good clock radio for more than 2 years when I heard of the Sangean.

, THIS IS THE FINEST CLOCK-RADIO YOU CAN GET.

Absolutely love this clock, after figuring out how to use it!

Great radio, clock and timers are a bit tricky to set up til you get used to the sequence of how to set them up.

There is a dimming feature, which is adjustable, but the user must press the button each time they wish to dim or un-dim the clock

Also, the atomic clock doesn't work, but I don't mind setting the clock manually.

I would recommend this to anyone that has been unhappy with their cheap alarm clocks.

I'm back to using a not so amazing clock with a battery backup.

I had hoped that the HD radio would have better reception and the atomic clock was just an added benefit.

So to sum up: if you are tired of cheap clock radios, or whatever is on the shelf at your bricks-n-mortar store of choice; the Sangean RCR-22 is worthy of serious consideration

great Clock Radio, took awhile to find the NOAA connection

Great clock but not for technophobes or the like

Once you get that figured out the clock is very easy to use

This is definitely the best atomic radio alarm clock that I have owned (it's my third one so far) and well worth the price.

This is a love letter to Sangean, for inventing the greatest clock radio ever.

but I prefer my alarm clocks to actually tell time.

It is a very nice radio clock but only thing I don't like is the display light is bright even on the low setting

If its a good clock radio your looking for , I would recommend this on for sure .

it's a good clock radio with good features that work as advertised.

A very good looking & elegant clock radio/ Amazon the best source to purchase.

In case you're wondering, the previous clock was a Homedics that I was never happy with, but it was cheap.

nice clock radio, a little hard to program to get correct time but sound is good

I wish the snooze period was adjustable like on some cheaper alarm clocks

The Atomic clock was great at

THIS IS A WONDERFUL CLOCK RADIO.

Excellent flexible clock radio.

A great clock radio

I was looking for a Clock radio that would work well in a rural area and have good quality sound.

Nice clock radio

The only problem is the atomic clock it does not work.

Great clock radio.

Now I'm stuck with this wonderful clock that is SO

From a glorified clock, I just need halfway decent reproduction of the spoken word.

The bottom line is that it may be the best clock radio on the market right now.

brightness is ez ...10 to 0 a nice clock radio.

So, a great radio, good sound, decent screen, and a solid alarm clock.

we have tried a great many radio/clocks for our bedside, but this one, by far, delivers the best sound

Anyway, I found that there just aren't that many clock radios with presets available, the Sangean RCR-22 available at Amazon being about the cheapest I could find (though still almost four times the price of the Sony that self destructed after a day and a half).

Accurate clock.

The feature that I want to address most, because I think it has caused many reviewers to unfairly criticize the clock, is the brightness of the display.

GreatIf you are looking for a good clock radio for your bedroom, this may the one for you

The clock is very accurate and the the sound quality is quite good.

The idea is that the radio receives this signal multiple times each day to keep the time on the clock current and accurate, so you never need to set it.

Great clock radio.

best clock radio i have ever had

The only feature I wish this clock had was auto dimming

I like that the clock keeps itself accurate by syncing with an atomic time standard on a regular basis

Both carry the revision 'version 1' but show what happened to the once really great radio clock in 2013:UM_20070410_381QJ01-A_RCR-22_GB_V describes the old version with weekday alarm settingsUM_RCR-22_ii_20130304_3A81W81000000_GB_V1 describes the new version, with weekend alarms and RDSThe company SANGEAN (Taiwan) is known for designing and marketing sophisticated shortwave and world receiverradios, often sold as O.E.M. licensed products by famous brands

Did I order the wrong clock

nice clock radio, a little hard to program to get correct time but sound is good

Nice looking clock.

it is a good and reasonably attractive clock radio.

I bought this clock because I wanted an accurate clock, but maybe I'll just go back to the cheapo kind that gain minutes because there doesn't seem to be a better one on the market anywhere.

atomic clock was hard to set at first

Not a good Clock-Radio.

At 50 ft. above sea level in NYC, the atomic clock automatic setting is worthless

Great clock radio

How can this clock be so functionally flawed?

If has the right features for a clock/alarm/radio combo., including an alarm that WILL wake you, which for me, is most important as I'm a deep sleeper

I don't know whether the atomic clock setting feature works (and I certainly could not care less).Setting it up was a chore for me, but you, with your IQ a bit above room temperature, don't have to fear the instruction booklet.

I am still looking for a good clock radio

Great clock radio.

I have three other atomic clock capable clocks in my house, so I know the signal is receivable at my house

Nice clock radio works great

Nice clock radio works great

Atomic clock, dims to where I can sleep, and a very gentle awakening alarm.

Its reception is about the same as my previous cheap ($20) clock radio

Clock works great, definitely worth the $

I like the atomic clock feature and the two daily alarms are cool.3

After years of trying different clocks, I finally found the perfect clock.

My other atomic clock has no issues, and no matter where I placed the receiver the clock never set itself

Digital tuning radio with good reception plus easily visible clock.

As a side note: Smart alarm used to produce a very inexpensive atomic clock radio.

It's a good clock for the money with a few quirks as noted

Great clock works exactly as expected

Great clock works exactly as expected

The clock performs well once set up, but just barely enough to keep me from going through the hassle of returning it

This is an amazing alarm clock

I own three other battery powered atomic clocks, and they all work fine.

I love this alarm clock, especially the ability to set dual alarms and not only

I really like the clock itself and the way you can set it all up to your tastes.

I really wanted to like the clock but it felt like I was in the headlights of a semi-trailer all night

This is an excellent clock for those with a dynamic schedule

Gotcha!Summary: pug-ugly but still pretty good clock radio; nothing wonderful.

This is a super clock radio

My iHome that I purchased because it had an iPhone charging dock was dying on me, so I started looking for a good clock radio

policy.)The RCR-22 is very nice in many ways: good FM reception, good atomic clock reception, dual alarms with day-of-week flexibility, etc

I would like to push one or two buttons and have it set, like normal inexpensive alarm clocks, but NO!

In every respect but one, this is the best clock radio I've ever owned (I've probably gone through 10 or more in my adult

The automatic clock works good and time change is built in

Atomic Clock is very accurate

Best alarm clock I've ever owned

The radio works great, the clock synced up almost immediately with WWVB, easy to figure out how to change settings.

The radio works great, the clock synced up almost immediately with WWVB, easy to figure out how to change settings.

It is not easy to find just the right clock radio with the features desired.

Great alarm clock.

A cheap $20 wall clock has ZERO problems syncing with the atomic signal, yet this Atomic Alarm Clock can't find it

The only complaint that I have is that the atomic clock doesn't seem to work, but setting the clock is easy enough.

The atomic clock does work (even for daylight savings time!

It sounds great and it's the best alarm clock I've ever owned.

my sangean has a hard time getting a signal from the "Great Clock in the Sky" or whatever it syncs to

This is a great clock radio

The above RDS can set the time/date with time and patience.- The misnamed 'atomic clock' feature which works so well on my older model never functioned on the new one

This clock was a disaster from the get go.

I bought this clock for my wife because her old clock's sound quality was very poor and she hates to set it.

This is an excellent clock radio.

it is, by far, the best clock radio i have ever owned.

If you just want a nice alarm clock that is easy to set and not be a pain in the neck to set .... this is NOT FOR YOU

One thing that would improve the clock is if the time were projected onto the ceiling.

I have used a beautiful Panasonic clock radio for the past twenty years, and it had been excellent.

The Atomic Clock is nice, and mine registered about 5 minutes after plugging it in.

Really like this clock.

It had some nice features - auxiliary input for our mp3, no ipod dock (YAAYH!), multiple alarms, humane waking system, atomic clock, capacitor to keep clock going for an hour or so if unplugged or power goes out, etc

Plus, when the alarm goes off the LCD screen goes to full bright and I am starting to hate alarm clocks even more than I did

While the odds of getting a dud from any manufacturer are quite slim, I wanted an atomic clock signal to guarantee the time displayed was absolutely right with no occasional resets required

Once you figure how to set everything, it is the best clock radio I have every owned

The atomic clock did work though it took half a day to pick up the time.

This is a good clock radio

This is so far the best clock radio that I've owned (I've owned about 5 in 40 years).

Overall, I'd recommend this product if you are looking to get away from annoying $15 clock radios that have bad analog tuning and bad reception

I'd be far happier if it could be disabled, so that we could use the giant Snooze button (and not just the tiny Power button) to make the clock stop alarm-ing

I'll make this quick and concise:Pros:-Daytime display is nice-Being able to set the days of the week individually for the alarm is nice-Atomic Clock setting is nice-

This has been a great clock radio--versatile, good sound and signal pickup on both FM and AM, works well with my MP3, and kinda cool looking.

I can safely say, without a doubt, that the RCR-22 is the best atomic clock radio out on the market today, especially with the vast number of features that it has

This is the best clock radio I've owned

Having had many cheap clock radios over the years, this one tops them all

All in all, the Sangean RCR-22 is a versatile clock radio that serves its purpose as an atomic clock device for my bedroom.

If you can deal with the high/low brightness switch, this is a very, very good clock radio.

This is a fantastic clock radio

It is a great clock radio.

This clock is ridiculously bright

Clock works great

The clock remains dimmed at your preset level, but goes to full brightness when the alarm goes off, making the clock easier to find

All in all, this is the best clock radio I've owned to

Reception better than our last "expensive" clock radio.

Great clock in a nice looking package, but I could not get used to the display.

I like to listen to the radio in my bedroom and found my older inexpensive clock radio's reception disappointing

The Best of the Best atomic clock radios out on the market

This radio arrived earlier than expected and is a fine clock radio

The clock has great potential - and great intent - but fails to deliver

Love the clock ........however bought two three years ago and one started to malfunction.

The clock on the second unit works great as does the radio on both AM and FM.

When I fidgeted with it, it only seemed to "aggravate" the clock ... and me

Hard to believe that such an excellent and affordable alarm clock with automatic radio shut off is no longer available.

Atomic clock accuracy a bonus.

The clock is great Ive set the alarm once and never have to deal with it again

The atomic clock works flawlessly even in Virginia, far away from Boulder, Colorado where the signal is coming from

Yes, there are lots of buttons and options for setting the alarm and it isn't quite as simple as it is on cheaper clock radios

But overall, great clock!

It's not the cheapest clock radio out there by

Great reception and love atomic clock

It is now just a expensive regular clock.

I would rather see the date knowing that the clock is alarmed and ready.

I especially like the humane alarm sound and the atomic clock

Much better than the clock radio that just died on me

Sharp designed clock with excellent quality.

Here are some aspects that differentiate it from a cheaper clock radio:Radio reception and function

Overall, the clock is great

Other than that, it's a great clock radio.

I like atomic clocks, and living in the Denver area means you can always get a signal from the atomic clock that is 60 miles away

Anyway, the Sangean is probably a good clock radio and for fm listening but this was not my reason for buying the radio and so it did not perform to my expectations for a moderately priced unit

If Sangean takes care of the suggestions above, they would not only have the best atomic clock radio, but arguably the perfect atomic clock radio

Bought this clock radio to replace our old combo of a cheap clock and a boombox sitting on the floor.

The only reason i rated this at four stars is because of how bright the clock is in the dark

I love having the atomic clock for accuracy and ease, and the sound is better than you might think if you actually use the radio

* Fairly sensitive and selective AM and FM tuningAll in all a fine little clock radio that never drifts on the time unlike all others I've had, So I frequently use it to sync my wrist-watches and other clocks.

I would like to see a better manual, autodimming of the display (it is BRIGHT when set to max), Sangean using a designer that is somewhat current, and perhaps a user manual rewrite, other than that, this clock works very well and will be on my nightstand for years to come

This is a very streamlined, nice looking bedside alarm clock

This is a very good alarm clock and radio

now I have a nice manual clock and the atomic aspect which was a big selling point is worthless

I especially like the humane alarm sound and the atomic clock

This is the best clock radio I have ever purchased!

UPDATEIt's now been a few weeks, and I have to say that this is, in my opinion, the perfect clock radio

This is an unusual and complex clock radio and is not suitable for everyone

This clock is far more dim than the Sony it replaced for us.

The atomic clock works perfectly

It's a clock radio and does everything a modern clock radio should do, including accurately set its own time and have a digital tuner

Alarm FeaturesThis clock features two independent alarms

I love this clock

Great little clock radio

If the user has turned DST off, the clock ignores WWVB's DST code

Unlike a lot of clock radios that pop up if you search for "atomic clock radio," this one has a true WWVB-set clock for atomic precision, along with an AM/FM radio (with digital tuning) and a versatile alarm clock

Once, after losing power in the middle of the night, the clock lagged behind a few hours when the electricity finally came back on

Like this clock

Looking at the available clock radios was underwhelming based on what I knew I wanted and what I could find

This is an amazing clock

Atomic clock don't work

Wonderful clock-radio

I is a perfect clock to wake up to and has a helpful flash of light when the alarm goes off

Love this clock!

Really love the radio and atomic clock.

Wonderful clock radio given to my wife for Christmas.

A huge negative, the clock did not automatically switch off daylight savings time, I had to turn day light savings time off.

This is a great clock radio.

After about 10 or 12 hours the atomic clock starting working.

Like the clock, but the instruction manual gives inaccurate information about how to turn off the alarm.

Top to bottom - this is the BEST clock radio ever used!

I love my clock except for a few quirks

I recommend this alarm clock to

Also, the blue clock and radio numerals were not bright enough or large enough for our tired eyes to read.

I'd rate this the biggest drawback to this radio -- especially for those relying on it to get out of bed in the morning ;o{
