Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sangean RCR-1 Advanced Atomic Clock Radio - Silver
Customer Review: The atomic clock is a phoney!
Summary: 2 Stars
I called Sangean to find out why the time was not synchronizing, to which the technician replied, "Well it's not the strongest atomic clock there is..." Then when I explained what I had done to test it, he was arrogant, unhelpful, and not in too many words told me tough luck!Just for the record, I purchased another clock from Radio Shack (which they don't sell anymore, or I would have bought another one of those!), which works perfectly fine.
What a ruse!
Customer Review: Too bad about the backlighting...
Summary: 1 Stars
This clock radio has it all... almost. The Atomic clock synched right up, the sound is quite good, I like the "Nap" feature and the ability to set two alarms to two different times on each different day of the week is cool. So, I set it all up and put in my bedroom and when it got dark I realized the radio was useless to me - no matter how you set the backlighting brightness display you have to get right on top of the clock to read the display. So trying to set the nap timer or the sleep timer or change the alarm settings, after dark, becomes almost impossible. When you turn up the brightness the numerals just stay the same and the backlighting just gets brighter and glares in your face.
The manual leaves a bit to be desired too and just ignores features like backup (which it seems to have because when you disconnect from power the clock continues to display and the setting are saved; I just have no idea how long and if that feature is something I can count on).
Bottom line is I would surely keep the clock if I could only read it at night.... but I can't; so back it goes. Too bad.
Customer Review: Horrible User Interface
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the most horrid clock radio ever. The user interface is terrible, and the physical unit is huge. The time receiver antenna is a monster and highly ugly. I couldn't figure out how to set the alarm or change the radio station. This truly has the most horrid manual and the buttons were clearly not designed with the user in mind.
This item got sent back and a $15 Emerson clock radio is vastly superior. The company clearly does not elicit feedback from real humans during the design process. I can't imagine anyone actually using this device outside of their engineering labs.
Customer Review: incompetence personified
Summary: 1 Stars
This company was totally incompetent..sending me a different radio completely. I returned the wrong radio & got a full refund (the ONLY thing these guys got right)!
