GE 29291 Bedroom Clock Radio Phone

Summary: What a piece of garbage!!
Review: Don't waste your money on this item. You can't read the display at all, so you never know what time it is. The base is so light that when you answer the phone, the base comes along and falls off the nightstand. GE, you should be ashamed of yourself! I always trusted that brand name.... until now

Summary: Almost a winner
Review: Good idea but bad implementation of what a bedroom clock should be.
The viewing angle of the LCD on the Bedroom Clock Radio Phone is very poor. Unless you look at the clock directly you can not tell what the time is. There is also an anoying green flashing light to indicate a new call is listed on the caller ID. If GE were to change out the LCD and remove the green light this would be a 5 star product.

Summary: too hard to read lcd
Review: Great idea but a terrible phone. It's impossible to read except if you are directly above the phone. Also the delete for removing calls from caller id didn't consistantly work. The lcd screen was too bright and hard to read if lowered.

Summary: I agree with others!
Review: I love the caller ID/phone/alarm/clock combo idea...but I agree with the others, it's hard to read the LCD, it's annoyingly bright, it's too easy to reset the time, and my pet peeve: the phone HANDSET does not fit well/easily into the cradle...therefore it's too easy to bump off and it seems like always off the hook. Good idea that needs alot of redesign!

Summary: I was very disappointed in this product
Review: The idea is a good one, but I found it flawed, especially in two ways. First, even during simple movements like hanging up the phone it is practically impossible to avoid hitting the the time-set buttons and accidently changing the time... not a good thing when you are counting on the clock to get up for work. Second, if you have the radio on and the phone rings, the radio is supposed to shut off when the receiver is lifted. This didn't work, and as I recall required some drastic measures to get the malfunctions reset (like unplugging the thing.) I hope that others can counter my experience with success, but I was not happy with the GE clock radio phone.

Summary: don't buy GE
Review: Their products are full of glitches. This bedroom phone stopped displaying the Caller ID correctly the first time I bought it. After I brought it back to the store for a replacement, the time was always wrong. It would show the right time when a call came in, but would get stuck there until the next call. Look for similar statements about other GE phones and take the advice not to buy a GE phone.

Summary: Poor Visibility
Review: Trying to discern the time or phone number at night or day in the prone position is virtually impossible due to the poor quality of the lighting display . Who wants to get up to read the time or phone number ?? Not me.
