i disagree with the other review for this Clock radio/CD alarm i checked it out and it scored 9.3 out of 10 on Reevoo so i bought one from Fenwicks in Newcastle for £34.95! I have no problem with reception and it automatically tunes in the preset channels, yes you have to scroll up or down to the station you want but generally i dont flit from station to station. The main problem i had with my old Acctim clock was that it was so bright i had to lie it face down and cover it to stop the 2" neon blue numerals lighting up the room, but this is the opposite the illuminated base can be bright , dim or turned off and the dull glow of the orange clock backlight if not a problem and can simply be turned away if required. There is a red LED to tell me that the radio is on .... so what if the radio or CD is on then i am awake so why should it matter! In my opinion to get a remote control CD player a Radio and an alarm clock with 2 alarm settings that can wake you with the music/buzzer of your choice is good value for money!!

IMO, there are next to no intelligently designed bedside clock-radios on the market, but the Roberts Pisa 3 is an excellent exception that I've enjoyed for five years or so. I wrongly supposed this Pisa 87 (looks the same, but necessarily much bigger) would be the same plus CD. Not so.
Major criticims
The backlight does not have the 'off' setting that the Pisa 3 does and as is claimed in the manual. Instead it has three levels of brightness - the lowest too bright for me, lit the room, stopped me getting to sleep.
It's stereo, and a ratstail aerial may work between Finchley and Wandsworth, but not out here in the Midlands, where it delivered hiss (no mono option that I could find).
It has a bright red monitor light on the front, to tell you if its on or off. Roberts may have a good reason for this, but I found it aggressive and disturbing, and speaking for myself I can tell if a radio's on or off from the sound its making.
Irritations and disappointments
Instead of a wheel volume control, it has two buttons, up and down, that click their way through a long step range that shows up numerically on the display. Fussy, and again, what's the point, satisfactory volume is usually established by ear, not by read-out.
The top nightlight on the Pisa 3 I find good. This I find a bit odd by comparison, set in the base, distributing its light unevenly.
Maybe to incorporate CD Roberts had to do what they've done with the button controls because there have to be more of them - but quick and simple touch controls are crucial for a bedside radio (half-asleep? annoyed partner?). Eg, the Pisa 3 is simply a button per station - here you work up or down through your pre-sets to get to the one you want.
I was grateful to be able to send this back.

The display is very week and the time is not displayed when the radio is on??? and the display light cannot be turned off. Its far too complicated to use as a bed side radio and the remote is a stupid shape that is difficult to use and hold without covering up the sender diode so it does not work.
Listmania!
