Sylvania Dock and Clock Radio PLL Dual Alarm for iPod and iPhone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this docking station thinking I would get an inexpensive, but functional docking station for my iTouch. I was largely wrong on both accounts. Although it was cheap, it was money wasted and I've since purchased a new Sony Dreammachine to replace the Synvania dock and clock. Why? Several reasons. First, if you want the alarm to work, you need the backlight lit. That doesn't sound like a problem until you see the backlight. Even at it's lowest setting, I'm pretty sure planes could navigate off it it. It is so bright, it lights up a 30 foot hallwall into my room when the door is open. And that's on the "dim" setting. Don't even get me started with the "bright" setting. If you turn off the light, the alarm doesn't work. The other significant problem is that it doesn't recharge my iTouch. It did, for about 3 months, but then it stopped and never restarted. So I can listen to music, but I can't recharge. All in all, this docking station was a complete waste of money.
