I did a lot of research for a multiple purpose docking station for my new purchase of an itouch. This was the best I found at a great price. It has many functions I was unable to find on any other product; nap timer, sleep timer, dual alarm, brightness control. It is very easy to figure out how to use. Overall, I am very pleased with the product and would recommend it.

This is an excellent product for the money. It has a decent sound quality and works very well with my 4th generation iPod Nano. I use the sleep and nap functions quite often and find they are very easy to use. The volume is a bit on the loud side for nightstand use but I feel this product is an excellent value.

After a lot of research and comparison shopping, I ordered this product. But, I just returned it. Overall, the quality is fine, the sound is good and I liked the nap button function. However, I like to listen to public radio a lot and the radio reception was very poor. I also like to look at the time when my alarm goes off and when this alarm goes off, the display shows the radio station I'm listening to, not the time. If these items are not important to you, then this is a good product. It just did not fit my needs.

This is a great product. The main reason I wanted it was for the docking station and the sound is great. All the other features are bonus. The only downside sometimes is that the radio reception isn't the best. I have one of these on my bedside table and one in the bathroom. The bathroom one gets worse reception than the one in my bedroom. I think it might have something to do with the fact that there are no windows in the bathroom, but I'm not sure. It does get some stations really well,even in the bathroom, just not always the ones that I want. But even with that I make do. But if you want good radio reception for many channels this is not the product for you. If you want a good docking station then go ahead and pull the trigger. Oh, the clock feature is awesome. You just plug it in and the right time comes on. It's got its own batteries too. It's very clever. I've only recently noticed that when you have the iPod in, the clock is to the left of the iPod. But when the iPod's gone, the clock is in the middle of the screen! I just thought that was clever.

I have never reviewed a product in my life, so bear with me.
I wanted to wake up to my ipod music, rather than my annoying alarm clock, so I did some research and read many reviews about other ipod alarm clock products. I had certain features I wanted, such as being able to dim the light on the unit for nightime sleeping, and I wanted to be able to set the waking volume of the music and a few other features. This RCA fit the bill nicely, there is a switch on the right side to dim the blue light and the digital numbers on the clock, and there is also a volume knob on the right.
You can wake to alarm sound, radio or ipod music and what is great is that there is two alarm settings, if you have a spouse or want to wake at the different time on the weekend and I found that a great feature. The unit has buttons on the top to quickly turn Alarm 1 or 2 on and which feature you want to wake up to.
It has a sleep feature that allows you to fall asleep to music or a nice nature soundtrack from your ipod.
I really like that the Ipod dock slides in when you are not using it, to avoid getting cat hair or dust on the dock.
It also has a nice snooze button right in the middle on the top of the unit. The only thing I found slightly difficult was setting the time on the alarms, it has a knob that you feel like you might break if you turn too hard, but you have to turn hard to get the numbers to change.
This unit was inexpensive and had all the features I wanted and has been working nicely. The only other feature that might be useful and none of the others had this, is a button to press so that you can dock you ipod all night and wake up to it, but NOT charge it. I feel like I am ruining the battery life of my ipod by charging it too much.
Also wanted to mention that if the alarm is set to wake to ipod and your ipod is not docked then it automatically reverts to alarm sound.
Thanks for reading and I hope this review was helpful to you.
