jWIN iLuv™ (White) (I177WHT) Docking Station for Apple iPod (I188BLK)

Pros: Great sound quality, ability to turn off backlight, easy controls, well made
Cons: Can't store radio presets

The first ipod clock radio I bought was an Emerson iTone that was very disappointing. After returning it, I did a bunch of research, and decided to order the i177 (white). I am very happy with the unit. The sound is great. While it is not a Bose, it sounds way better than your average alarm clock. The controls are very intuitive and simple to use. I have a 4th generation ipod, and it fit perfectly. Another great feature is the display dimmer. You can turn the backlight completely off, a feature not found in many other products. A common complaint I read about for other brands of radio was that the display would light up the room! Not a problem with this unit. the remote control is pretty neat too. I like the fact that I can control my ipod remotely. There are 2 separate alarms, which is nice if your significant other has to get up at a different time. The only lacking feature is the ability to store radio stations. This would be nice, but I bought this unit to wake to my ipod so I can't complain. Overall this thing is great.

Pros: remote operation, customer service, convenience, clock easy to set and operate.
Cons: Sound could be less bass, wish it had bluetooth (not very reasonable expectation given price)

I received this unit as a gift for Christmas. It's great to be able to switch between radio and ipod and the alarm clock works very well and has two separate settings. This comes in handy if you have two different schedules for alarm times in your household. Also like that you can dim the light on the clock with the remote.

I actually had a defective unit the first time around and hadn't registered the product (the docking port broke off)...no problem. Customer service was very helpful and said that it would be repaired regardless of not having a receipt or registration. Very polite and unit was replaced and shipped back to me promptly. I am very impressed with that aspect of the company.
