RCA RP3753 Clock Radio

Pros: CD and Graduwake
Cons: Can't think of any

I got this unit for graduation and absolutely love it. The coolest feature on it is the CD Player. You can actually program the track you want and the volume at which you want to wake up. If you don't use the CD player for the alarm, the standard beep...

Pros: Compact Combination Stereo CD Player, AM/FM Stereo Radio, Dual Wake Clock Radio in one.
Cons: Not dependable...exact same problem with two of the same units.

I bought this item because it had so much to offer in a compact unit. I liked the fact that the alarm was loud enough to actually awaken me out of a sound sleep, and since I have to get up at 6am to get my son off to school, and then go back to sleep ...

Pros: Compact Combo-Unit with Radio/CD/Dual Alarm
Cons: Short life. One lasted 6 months...one lasted 9 months.

I purchased an RCA RP3753 Top Load CD Clock Radio on 09/23/2003, from Target. By March, 2004, the digital clock was no longer working. It would suddenly just start flashing as if it had lost power, and I would have to re-set the clock and the dual alarms all over again. So, I sent it back to the manufacturer, who replaced it with a brand new one. It is now December 2004, and again the digital clock has stopped working, and is doing the same thing that the first one did. Obviously, there is a problem with the design of this equipment that both of them would stop working within 6-9 months of original purchase. Additionally, I had occasional problems with the CD player on both the first one and the second one...causing CDs to skip.
