About Sangean RCR-5 Digital AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
76% liked the alarm feature
The clock-radio has better reception than my old alarm clock and has a multi-functional 7 days and weekend alarm feature.
It's easy to choose which days or groupings of days to activate the alarm.
Having weekday, weekend and one-time alarm settings is great.
76% appreciated the sleek and modern design
I think the RCR-5 clock-radio is a great choice. It's well built and solid with good functionality without being complicated. The sleep timer is especially handy and it looks good while fitting nicely.
I expect good build quality from Sangean and the user mentioned it is very good.
I like the design and smooth style of the product.
The overall build quality of the clock radio is quite good.
80% praised the clear display
The display is fully adjustable and not too bright at night. The yellow color is excellent for avoiding blue light at night.
85% found it easy to use
It is easy to use, just read the manual that comes with it.
The buttons for setting the date/time/year/AM-FM band/station presets are clearly marked and easy to use.
I find the clock radio easy to use with an easy-to-read screen and adjustable settings for daily alarm adjustments for work.
The clock radio is intuitive and easy to use. Anyone who claims otherwise must not have passed the fourth grade.
92% were impressed with the battery backup
I replaced the noisy switching power supply with a Jameco Linear power supply. It's like night and day - the AM reception is fantastic and I can keep the radio 5 feet away from the power supply.
90% praised the clear sound
The sound quality is acceptable for listening to talk and music before sleep.
The sound quality is very good for talk stations and music, although others may not agree due to my age.
The sound quality of the clock-radio is excellent.
I have tried several clock radios and found that the Sangean RCR-5 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio has the best sound quality.
81% praised the volume control
I like the volume control of this clock radio because it has detents (clicks) which prevents my cat from adjusting the volume.
For a nightstand radio, the volume control is good and the radio works well with clear sound.
