The Memorex Dual Alarm Clock Radio is about as all-in-one as you can get when it comes to clock radios for the bedroom. As well as the standard clock, alarm and radio, you can also plug in your iPod on top and play music from it through the stereo speakers. It will also charge whilst connected and sync its clock with the iPod's.
Setting up is simple, and the controls on top are intuitive. It's quite a big device, but this means you get OK sound out of the speakers and also a large, clear display. Tuning in the radio is easy and I have found reception to be very good when using the included cable aerial. Two different alarm times can be set-up and you can choose either a buzzer, the radio or your iPod to come on when the alarm is reached.
There is perhaps a slight problem here, in that once the radio or iPod has come on, after a few seconds it ratchets up in volume, presumably to make sure you are awake. I would prefer that it stayed at the lower volume to break me into the day gently, but so far I have not found a setting to achieve that. You can't reduce the volume at the time without turning the unit on and fiddling with controls. By this time you are out of bed....ah, maybe that's the idea. Thankfully, snooze works.
I really like this Memorex, it's easy to use, the radio and iPod connectivity work well and the sound quality is good. I think it's worth a look if you are after a new clock radio.
