The RC46 clock radio by RCA is the perfect companion in the morning. The AM/FM clock radio has a large 1.4-inch blue LED display that makes it easy to see and to read. The clock can be adjusted to two different levels of brightness to accommodate for different lighting situations. The clock features automatic time set that will set the clock to one of seven different time zones once clock is plugged in. Simply flip the switch to select your current time zone. LCD display has a digital frequency readout, so that you can precisely tune to your favorite radio station and read which station you are tuned in to. The programmable sleep feature will play the radio up to 2-hours before automatically turning off, allowing you to gently fall asleep to the radio. The RC46 features a 2nd display “alarm reminder” showing the time you have set for the alarm to go off. No more second guessing if you set the time of the alarm correctly or not. The clock radio has two different alarm settings that are perfect for couples who wake at different times or for those who need a second reminder to wake in the morning. Set the alarm to wake you up to the buzzer or to your favorite radio station. Enjoy the Graduwake ramp up alarm system that gently wakes you from deep sleep by gradually increasing the volume of the alarm. You’ll no longer have a loud, rude awakening in the morning. Alarm clock features programmable snooze that you can set to ring between 1-30 minutes or by the default setting of every 9-minutes. Using the SmartSnooze feature, any of the top buttons will act as the snooze button when alarm has been activated, to ensure that you will find it when you’re half asleep. The battery backup gives reassurance that your alarm will sound even with the loss of power. The “No Worry” battery backup keeps the clock radio working during power outages. You’ll no longer have to worry about being late to work or needing to reset the clock and alarm.

 "Easy to read alarm clock" 2010-01-31

If you are looking for an alarm clock with large, easy to read time then this is the one for you. I wear glasses and always had a hard time reading the time until this alarm clock arrived.

 "Tried to build on old model and failed" 2010-01-28
By D. S.
The buttons on the back are cheaply made and only lasted 2 months from me turning the alarm clock on and off. I loved the old model they had it lasted me years. this one the buttons were horrible and just felts really cheap. I would avoid this alarm clock if you have to use the buttons a lot.

I am returning the clock. I got it as a gift for my boyfriend and within the first couple days of use the buttons all started jamming and wouldn't work. Nice big display just bad buttons.

 "Great concept but bad product." 2009-12-12
By Wendy Calderone (Raleigh, NC)
I needed a new alarm clock because my old one had a nice feature where the time would automatically adjust to Daylight Savings time. The only trouble is that I purchased it long before the Powers That Be made the decision to change the dates for Daylight Savings time (I had it for more than 8 years!). So, twice a year, I was going somewhere at the wrong time. I couldn't update the software on it to the new DST schedule, so I finally decided to get a new one.



I really wanted to love this alarm clock from RCA. I thought the blue display would be a nice change but mostly the idea of having the alarm time displayed was just what I needed. You have to flip the switch to DST instead of it being automatic like my old Emerson, but I decided it was a good trade off. I also like the adjustable time for the snooze so that you can set it to exactly what you want it to be.



Other reviewers have said that the blue display is very bright, and I do agree. But this didn't bother me much since I mostly have my eyes closed anyway and don't have to deal with it in the dark. The snooze button across the top of the unit is very large....which is great for a sleepy hand to hit it, but it makes it difficult to hold the unit in order to adjust the time for the alarms and such. But this is also something that you can get used to and work around.



The main reason that I am rating this item low is that the alarm button broke right at the 30-day mark. Now my "alarm 1" is stuck on the wake to music setting. I can't change it to the buzzer, but more importantly, I can't shut it off!! So, I have an alarm set every single day. The best I could do was change the time of the alarm. This was really annoying for the rare weekend when I had the opportunity to sleep in.



I'm past my 30-day warranty from the place I purchased it from, so I can't return it there....so now I am struggling with the manufacturer for a refund. Needless to say, I am going back to my Emerson brand. I definitely do not recommend this product.

Review

The alarm clock looks great. The design is well done. It has a nice big blue colored display. It sits upright so it takes up less room. I automatically sets the correct time. It is easy to set yet difficult to mess up the alarm times. Its easy to switch from alarm one and two or have both set. You can also set wake by alarm, or music. The radio is average. The only neat thing about it is that when you tune the radio it displays the station where the time was. But the radio tuner is not digital. Reception is average. I can pick up some FM, but no AM. I do not have good reception in my room, must be all the lead paint. I was hoping that with a new radio I could get AM, but no luck. The volume and tuner dials are way too sensitive. Just a little touch and the radio goes to another frequency. I makes it difficult to get the exact station. Another good feature is the wake times are displayed separately below the time.

I used to have an alarm clock that had a display that would fade to off at night. If you wanted to check the time you just had to move you had over the top and the display would turn on for a few second. I loved that feature. There have been so many alarm clocks designed, one would think it would be perfected by now.
