Great little clock Aug 30, 2010
I bought this unit almost two years ago for an apartment when working overseas. It worked very well with my Ipods (mini, classic) as well as any friends Ipod that came by. Very good sound quality for the size. Setting the alarm isn't that tricky, but you do have to hit the light to see the time at night. A back light feature would be a plus. Now that I'm not traveling for work, my daughter has staked claim to the clock for her Ipod. So far she has had no problems with it either.

Just what I was looking for... Aug 18, 2010
So I bought this iHome so that I could have an alarm clock and an ipod player. It has lived up to my expectations! It has great sound quality and it is really easy to use. It fits perfectly on a night stand or shelf, it isn't too big or too small. My favorite thing about this iHome is that I can wake up to my favorite songs. I mean that its better than waking up to a beeping noise, but if you like beeping it also has that. The only problem is that the buttons are harder to use. You need to hold onto it so that it doesn't move while you are setting your alarm or clicking any of the buttons on the side. It also bothers me that the machine has to be plugged in in order for it to play your iPod. I wanted to bring it in my car to play some music but it wouldn't let me play music because it wasn't plugged in. But all in all, I love this product and it serves its purpose... And for a great cost!

Easy to use, but performance is awful Jul 11, 2010
I bought this looking for an alarm that would let me charge my iPod and wake up to music. It appeared great at first-- I found the buttons and settings very easy to use after skimming thru the manual.

But within the first month the sound utterly failed and it would crackly constantly while playing the iPod for more than a few seconds on the alarm feature. Within 5 months, the dimmer/snooze stopped working and it stopped charging the iPod. The clock function is all that remains at this point, so I am getting rid of it and looking for another brand.

Fat I-Pod = Lower Star Power Jun 24, 2010
I have a 160gb I-Pod classic (I hate it when you don't know what type of device is being used) and found this for a good price some time ago. My wife has an 80gb I-Pod classic and i bought her one of these as well, and the two have some interesting differences. First, the bigger the storage the fatter the I-Pod and the fatter the device the more room one needs. This means a few things when the device is being used, and it does impact one major thing - sitting. While sitting doesn't seem like it would imact all that much, the device can slide around on the little "dishes" (they are these little plastic prefabs that fit over the connection slot) and this can impact the charging, the playing, and the alarm. The vibration of the clock itself can set the thing into a spiral, killing it slowly with its own songs. Also, the way it sits makes a world of difference in the world of sound - its the difference between being plugged in all the way and partially tapping into the device. So, here is a problem.

The good stuff here is that the thing works like it should almost all the time, it works really great with the small devices, and it increases in volume as the device goes off. You can also set it to go off for a length of time, hit a specific volume, tap into certain songs, and so on. I also like the fact that it can charge - a feature that cannot be overstated since a lot is riding on the bell, buzzing, or McLachlan going off at the right time.
A dead I-Pod is esentially bad business.

Personallu, I put this thing to price and to the size of your device. If you find it for a good price, it is really good. You can get great deals on these, too, and you can fit them to all kinds of small devices. So, you make the call there. most places carry them if you want to see one, to, so you have that luxury.
It makes the difference between a 3 and a 4 star love affair.

Worst Alarm I've Owned May 03, 2010
I got this clock as a replacement for one that broke to keep in my dorm. I get angry at it almost every day and can't wait to get a new one. If it picks up Wifi signal, it will randomly turn on the Sleep mode and music will start blaring- day or night- or it will turn off the unit while you are listening to your iPod, even if the iPod is still playing. It also messes with the brightness of the light. I called the manufacturer and their only advice was to move the unit further from the source of the Wifi, which I can't really do in a dorm room. Many mornings (once or twice a week), the alarm will not go off even though it was set, so I end up being late for class. Also, even the lowest sound setting is really too loud for me.

Spend your money on something else!
