iHome is a dream machine 
2008-10-12
This is my third purchase of an iHome. It is a high quality product which will fill a small room with quality stereo sound, utilizing its built in digital tuner or any of your iPods. I also use it to charge up my iPods. Its build quality is excellent, and it looks great!
Nice product but quality concerns 
2008-10-11
I bought this model and was happy with it overall -- good features, good sound quality, etc. However, after 6 months portions of the LCD on the clock stopped working. At this point I can tell what hour it is and that is about all. I will work with the company to see if they will repair/replace but I am disappointed that after such a short period of time I am seeing this kind of issue.
Attempts to jump on iPod Bandwagon with weak product 
2008-10-10
It has good sound -- which is about the only really good thing I can say about it.
The remote only provides a subset of the iPod functions, making it almost useless for any but the most rudamentary functions.
FM performance is dismal at best. The radio is easily overloaded by strong stations with the result that weak (and even moderately strong)stations) tend to be mixed with adjacent stations.
The set top controls look cool and try to duplicate those of the iPod, but are difficult to use in practice.
The manual is brief, poorly written, and generally inadequate.
This is indicative of a product that has been rushed to market with the lowest possible investment of time and money by the manufacturer in order to jump on the bandwagon provided by successful products like iPod.
Don't purchase your iHome anyplace else but @ Amazon! 2008-10-09
The product came in a very protective wrap and the price is the cheapest I've seen so far. It was a birthday gift for my son and he absolutely loves it!! Thank you and I will order again!
great alarm clock/ipod player 
2008-10-09
I really enjoy waking up to a play list- the alarm clock has a lot of great features. The sound quality is pretty good.
Great deal for the price 2008-10-07

Progressive wake up has changed my life 2008-10-03
There is nothing better than an alarm clock that goes from off to blaring in a slooooow fashion. It almost feels like you're waking up naturally BEFORE the alarm goes off. Of course, that's not true, but comparing that to be jolted out of a deep sleep by the kind of volume one needs to wake up... I'm a changed man. Also, the clock allows you to wake up to a custom iPod list. And, it has weekday alarms that never need be changed. And it has two alarms. It's fantastic. The only downside? The sound isn't amazing. It won't be replacing any other speakers anytime soon, but it gets the job -- waking me up without inducing violence -- done.
Nice features 2008-10-03
This is a nice clock that gives lots of choices. You can choose to wake up to a buzzer, the radio or your ipod... as well as having 2 separate alarms that you can set to go off Mon-Fri, Sat & Sun or all 7 days of the week. You can peronalize the length of snooze. It produces good sound and charges the ipod pretty quickly. The bad thing is that the background of the screen is lighted and the numbers are dark so it is pretty bright... even when using the dimmer it is still annoying if you are sensitive to things like that. I got this for my husband because he likes mine, but mine has a dark background and really dims down. For all of the other options given they should have given the option to change the background color!
On the same frequency as our television 2008-09-30
I'm a little frustrated with this product. I love it's features, and it's sound is great.However, it's apparently sharing the same frequency as our flat screen tv remote. Every time we change the channel via the remote it turns our alarms on or off. It means that despite purposely buying a dual alarm clock for simplicity we have to double check both alarm settings every night to make sure it didn't toggle to "off" from using the tv remote. It kind of sucks and makes the feature we bought it for moot.
Good, but not what I expected 2008-09-24
The Ihome is a good alarm, radio and ipod player. However the display is not like in the picture. The Ihome I got has the same display as the old one and one of the reasons I bought this one is becuase of the high contrast display. I was a little disapointed...
Also the remote is not that great, you really have to point straight to the IHome to make it work, I guess that's the most you can get out of such a little remote. Other than that I am happy with the product.
