iLuv iMM183 Hi-Fi Dual Alarm Clock Radio with NOAA/S.A.M.E. Weather Hazard Alert (Black) Review

iLuv iMM183 Hi-Fi Dual Alarm Clock Radio with NOAA/S.A.M.E. Weather Hazard AlertWhen I was looking at this radio on-line, the idea seemed to be great, so I got it for my husband's night table. He liked it at first, but then he realized that some of the features make it unusable for him. For instance, the LED display is too bright even when it is set to minimal brightness. The numbers on the display cannot be seen from a bed (you can only see them well enough when you stand in front of the alarm). There was not enough options to control ipod using the remote control. iphone in a protecting sleeve cannot fit into the connector, so my husband never used it to recharge his iphone.

iLuv iMM173 Alarm Clock and Dual Dock for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

iLuv iMM173 Alarm Clock and Dual Dock for iPod and iPhoneI was afraid that the iLuv Dual Dock would be too large for my end-table but it is the perfect size.I was also relieved to confirm that both docks will play and charge the 3G iPhone and newest iPods.The build quality is very high and the glossy plastic looks great but it is also a fingerprint magnet and hard to keep clean.

The reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is because I disagree with the other two reviews before mine that state that the sound quality was great.I think it sounds rather poor.I would rate the sound a 3 out of 5 at best.If I was using this for listening to music I'd send it back.It sound nothing even close to the Bose and Altec-Lansing iPod speakers i've listened to.Luckily I'm only using it as a clock, alarm and for listening to podcasts.

Note: It also comes with a nice remote that attaches to the back with a built in magnet.

EDITED:
Since posting the review I've had the iLuv "crash", "lock up", "freeze" a few times.I need to be able to rely on my alarm and this is a real problem.The clock stays showing the time of the crash and all buttons stop functinoing.I have to power cycle the clock to get it going again.I'm going to call iLuv and see what they can do for me.
