RCA RP5600 SmartSnooze Dual Wake Digital AM/FM CD Clock Radio

This RCA RP5600 Alarm Clock Radio was everything stated. The controls are
easy to use after you read instructions,lite dimming feature is great,
fall asleep to CD is a fine feature,reception is good,sound is good for
its size. Tuning is somewhat touchy getting the center of station,but I
usually keep it on my favorite all the time. I would definately buy
this radio over the others again !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this for the bedroom my boys share so they could each have their own alarm and because they love to listen to music at night while falling asleep. No matter which way I position the radio I cannot get any stations to come in clearly and the volume control has something wrong with it as well. If you tap on the top of the unit it will go from barely audible to blaring. Their CDs skip as well...what a piece of junk!

I liked that this product had a duel alarm that you could choose a different wake up function for each of the alarms. However, I like to wake up to the radio and I couldn't get ONE radio station to come through. FM or AM. Maybe the product I received was faulty; I tried it in every corner of my bedroom and only got static. It went straight back, so I have nothing to say about any of the other functions because I didn't keep it long enough to try them out.

We purchased this to play CDs for our new baby. The clock is really bright and easy to read and it's very simple to use. For the price, it is exactly what we were looking for.

Two years ago my wife got me one of these for my birthday and I was skeptical. I wanted a clock radio that would play cd's and had even purchased and returned a Sony Dream Machine (Sony you should be ashamed of yourself...it didn't even have a battery backup). After having looked around for quite awhile I sort of gave up and decided to just keep my old radio/tape player alarm even though it didn't have a cd player. I was looking for something with a small enough footprint to fit on my nightstand, something that was easy to use and sounded good. It didn't take me too long to realize my wife succeeded where I had failed. She was pretty happy with her purchase, because after hearing from me about all the things I was looking for, she knew this was going to be a winner. To put it briefly the RCA RP5600 has everything a radio/cd alarm clock should and nothing it shouldn't. If you've spent anytime at all looking around at clock radios with or without cd players, you'll especially appreciate the RP5600. All the switches for setting the clock, setting the alarms, turning the radio on/off, turning the cd on/off, changing cd tracks...etc. are all simple to use, totally intuitive and LARGE. It never ceases to amaze me when well known manufacturers of electronic equipment continue to use those tiny, tiny, minuscule one-switch-does-all control buttons with the indistinguishable detents. The RP5600 has ONE SWITCH FOR EACH FUNCTION...which means no more fumbling in the dark while you're half awake trying to figure out if your alarm is set or not or if you're going to wake to your favorite cd or the alarm or if its even going to go off. Also, one glance at the display will clearly tell you what all your settings are. The sound is much better than I expected and it plays commercially prerecorded as well as recorded cd's. It wouldn't have crossed my mind to write this review, but recently my college bound daughter realized she needed an alarm clock as she headed out the door. You can probably guess who needed to get a duplicate.
