RCA RP5405 AM/FM Clock Radio with LED Display

I asked for this clock for christmas because I wanted a clock with an adjustable snooze time. This isn't it. Amazon's product description is wrong - once I got the clock and set it up, I couldn't find anything in the manual about the adjustable snooze, so I checked on RCA's website and this clock does not have that feature.

I returned the clock and told amazon about the product description being wrong back in January, but lo and behold, here it is almost April and they haven't fixed it yet. I'm sure this is a fine clock that works well and you can't beat the price, but if you are looking for the adjustable snooze, you won't find it here.

If all you want is to tell time and wake to an alarm this is OK, but still pricey for that.

That radio dial can not bring in any significant stations. No matter how much you minutely move it back and forth few will come in.

The Volume is the same way. Too low and it does not register. Low enough and it comes and goes and not just because of the station. Remember those old dials that crackled when you adjusted the volume? Well, you could roll them back and forth to clean the connectors of dust or what not. That worked good in the old days. Does nothing for this. Every time I touch the dial is just crackles and does it half the time when just listening.

I will put it in my camper. That is about all it is good for.

Oh. It is too bright. Why is this always the complaint?

Now I am looking for a weather alert, CD, dual+ Alarm, WITH a NAP function. Choices are so limited as few rarely even indicate if they have nap...Read more

I bought this as a last minute travel item for a destination where the power is notoriously unreliable. I also bought a brand name (think: drum-playing bunny) 9V alkaline battery. After the first power outage, I thought the clock was running fast coming back to AC. By the second power outage, I was sure of it.

Back home I tried different combinations of AC power and batteries; the AC operation was rock solid but the clock gained time at a ratio of approximately 45 minutes for every 24 hours run on backup batteries. Personally, I'd rather have clock that blinks "12:00" after a power outage than one that deceptively displays the wrong time.

If you buy the RCA RP5405 AM/FM Clock Radio, test how well it keeps time on battery backup before the return period runs out.

I gave this two stars because it...Read more
