Reviews around look (5.00 of 5)

  • It's neat looking, easy to use and has lots of great features.
  • Haven't experienced a power failure yet, so don't know how it recovers (I'm not curious enough to try it on purpose).The best features to me are (1) clock is really nice-looking and easy to see, (2) radio sound is exceptionally good (not Bose, but pretty darned close!), and (3) there was nothing to getting it set up.
  • I am a bit particular about techie stuff and this clock was impressive looking with great features.
  • On the over all, I would hightly recommend this clock to anyone who is looking for an alarm clock that is extremely user friendly as well as great looking.
  • The clock is good looking, very solidly and carefully crafted and quite weighty, which is a good thing, so you don't knock it off the nightstand while reaching for it early in the morning

  • The radio has very good sound even with the small speaker.
  • I have suffered with a cheap s@ny clock radio for years.

Reviews around feature (4.22 of 5)

  • Nice features of having multiple alamrs to set with buzzer or radio.
  • The features on it are outstanding from buzzer adjustments to the atomic feature in keeping the clock up to date.
  • Overall this is a fine clock radio with a modern design and features.
  • Another really nice feature with the Sangean is that both radio and buzzer alarms gradually increase in volume
  • The auto signal works great for me, but even if it didn't you can disable the feature and set the time manually, just like any other alarm clock

Reviews around product (4.08 of 5)

  • I am not an idiot when it comes to electronics, but this product has set out to disprove that thought
  • After spending nearly one hundred dollars for what I thought would be a top notch electronic product I am ready to send my second one back.
  • After owning this clock radio for about four months, I still think it's a great product at a great value.
  • Stop duping consumers with worthless products SANGEAN.. last time you ever trick me.
  • u can't sleep with a light near or in the same room , Do not consider this model by sangean which makes great products . . . .Johnny

Reviews around system (4.03 of 5)

  • I have suffered with a cheap s@ny clock radio for years.
  • Humane Waking System works in both radio mode and buzzer mode.
  • The alarm uses the Human Waking System which gently rises in volume on both the buzzer or radio
  • That "humane waking system" gradually increasing radio volume alarm is
  • I am very disappointed, as I was really looking forward to waking up to the "Humane Waking System".

Reviews around reception (3.86 of 5)

  • AM reception is clear, full-range audio, and rejects interference well
  • I am in an area that doesn't get great radio reception, and the radio and atomic clock signal come in with no problem
  • The RCR-3 offers a decent radio with good reception, an excellent clock and easy setting.
  • However, poor reception can generally be completely corrected by turning the radio in a different direction.
  • This attractive and small footprint radio/alarm will give you great reception and good overall sound

Reviews around alarm (3.53 of 5)

  • Analog clock face is easy to read across the room without being overly intrusive as with a large LED display.

Reviews around light (3.24 of 5)

  • Light is a little too bright even when dimmed, but we either turn it off or put something in front of it.
  • As mentioned above, the light will also slowly dim to your selected setting
  • The backlighting on the clock is bright enough to read by and certainly more than enough light for emergencies.
  • Almost returned the clock because the light was way too bright
  • The lighting is fully adjustable from full very bright to no light at all with a small dial underneath the clock.

Reviews around display (3.22 of 5)

  • The analog display is easy to see from a distance or from in bed without glasses.
  • to see the LED display you have to be above the clock and our bed is below it.
  • Analog clock face is easy to read across the room without being overly intrusive as with a large LED display.
  • Minor quibble as the nice digital display is right about the analog.
  • we cannot see the LED display from our bed because we are at the wrong angle.

Reviews around time (3.20 of 5)

  • but I discovered that if you manually set the clock for about the correct time it syncs up faster
  • Four alarms, always correct time, good radio, good ergonomics, good looks
  • Also every time the radio is used I lose the atomic clock signal and another 24 hours or more before it get's the signal again.
  • you watch the hands magically set themselves to the correct time!
  • The very first alarm that I set did not go off, at all, the very first time I set it.

Reviews around work (2.05 of 5)

  • Unfortunately the dimmer stopped working (there are two separate controls, plus an ambient light sensor) after 2.5 years, so the clock stayed on full brightness---far too bright for a bedroom.
  • Most annoying is that the analog clock stopped working after about three months
  • I bought this clock in September of 2011, and now the backlight dimmer no longer works.
  • Receiver works very well, much better than the radio it replaced
  • Now the problem - after a couple of years, the dimmer stopped working.

Reviews around power (1.80 of 5)

  • Some complain about no battery back up, but you don't need it as it saves your settings to memory (even when you lose power).
  • If there is a longer power outage during the night, well, power outages set off an alarm in our security system, so I'll just get up and set the alarm on my iPod to wake up.
  • Yes, the "emergency power" mode works; I unplugged the unit and moved it around several times and it stayed on.
  • When it does lose total power the atomic clock signal does reset the time.
  • Power/"super capacitor":
