User Reviews about Sangean RCR-22 AM FM Atomic Clock Radio

This is incredibly well thought out except for the display.

Plus's include:
+Size, sound quality and features are all outstanding.
+Quality feel of user interface. Most have a rubberized feel.
+Initial set-up is intimidating due to so many buttons (there are 18!)and a non-user friendly manual. Once the 2 alarms are programmed and atomic clock is synced you really only need the power button to turn off the alarm.
+FM Reception and sound quality far better than I've ever had in a clock radio.
+One other very well thought out feature is a switch on the bottom to easily set the time zone.
+Humane waking system with buzzer

Deltas include:
-The display? Yes its bright. There is a button (the one with a light bulb not to be confused with another with a sun icon for DST)to toggle between low & high brightness. On the bottom there is one more dial providing variable brightness - which my wife and I have had to tweak for several nights before finding something acceptable (too dim to read / too bright to sleep). Yes the blue back lit LCD looks more upscale than standard LED, but it comes with a trade off.
-The only other potential short coming is that there is no battery backup. It does have an internal capacitor which maintains power for approx one hour. I am a bit paranoid about an extended outage -- Bright design dimmed by the display

Yes, others are right, the manual needs work. The clock itself is a great choice regardless. I really like the HWS wake up feature. (Alarm buzzer starts very soft and increases gently).

Clock is accurate / display is adequate but overall I'd recommend it! -- Nice Clock - Great Value

This was my first Sangean product and I'm very pleased after the first month of use. It's pretty simple to set up with very little time spent with the manual. The only feature I've missed on the clock is the ceiling time projection, but my wife hates that anyway. The feature I like best that I didn't have in my previous atomic alarm clock is the selection of individual days of the week for the alarm. The display is very good and the sound is good for an alarm clock radio. Also, the tuner rejects interference from nearby strong stations and doesn't drift. In case you're wondering, the previous clock was a Homedics that I was never happy with, but it was cheap. -- Great out of box experience
