Could have been great…, November 7, 2007

This should have been the perfect alarm clock.

It sounds great.

It has cool features like “nap” and adjustable snooze.

It looks good.

The LED clock face is green, not the trendy and very annoyingly bright blue that most new electronics use.

But as another reviewer has already noted, when the alarm goes off and you have it set to radio, it shows the radio station, not the current time! So you roll over groggily to see what time it is, only to be told 97.3.

A few other notes: It knows what time it is because it has a lithium backup battery, not because it’s an atomic clock. I assumed from the description it was set by radio frequency.

Also the radio isn’t really a digital tuner, it’s an analog tuner that displays the station digitally. This is actually better than the digital tuners in this price range. Inexpensive digital tuners are really bad…but cheap analog tuners can be really good.

I’m sending this back….it’s very annoying to look at your clock when the alarm goes off and not be told what time it is.

RCA: This model is almost perfect. Maybe next time you’ll come up with the perfect one. Keep at it.

Great Alarm Clock, November 2, 2007
This review is from: RCA RP5420 AM/FM Clock Radio with 1.4-Inch Display and Auto Time Set (Electronics)

I actually bought this at walmart. It’s the most usable alarm clock I’ve ever had. I’m not sure where to start – the fact that you can have both alarms be buzzers at the same time? The way you can set the alarm with one hand, because you’re not trying to hold down the “set alarm” button while setting the time with the other?

I like the huge display. I tried the blue version of this one, but I find the green easier on my eyes. I tested out the battery backup – the alarm really does go off, even if the alarm clock is unplugged (although the radio alarm goes off as the buzzer if it has no power).

The only drawbacks are that with the speaker on the back the radio has to get turned up to make it loud, and in my dreams it would be great if I could plug it into my computer and upload music to it to use as the alarm. But really, it’s a great clock.

Great little alarm clock, November 5, 2007

This review is from: RCA RP5420 AM/FM Clock Radio with 1.4-Inch Display and Auto Time Set (Electronics)

This is a great little clock with good features. Good features to me are large display, automatic time setting when you plug the clock into a power outlet, two alarms, ramping alarm volume and small footprint. The only problem I had with it was a quality control problem with the NAP button. I had to ultimately go through four units to get two functional units. The first one I bought worked great right out of the box. The second one had the NAP button stuck in the on position all of the time so you could never turn the alarm off just snooze mode it only. I returned it and got another unit to replace it. The next model when you used the NAP button you could not turn it off once activated. You could turn it off after it timed out only by hitting the OFF button once it started beeping. The way to deactivate it before timing out is to hold button down > 3 seconds to turn off per operating instruction. This is the feature that did not work properly. I returned it and the next unit worked properly.

So although a great product from a functional standpoint in my experience it has a 50% failure rate from a quality control perspective. I bought mine retail so returning it was not as difficult as an online purchase with shipping and such.

I had wanted to get one as a gift for my sister in Hawaii but the automatic time setting feature only works for EASTERN, CENTRAL, MOUNTAIN, and PACIFIC time zones. The daylight savings setting is a manual setting feature (slide switch) so you don’t have to worry about the clock automatically adjusting itself if you live in some areas that don’t use daylight savings time.

I would recommend it with the advice to make sure it works properly when you take it out of the box!
