Conair CID-402 Clock Radio/Telephone with Caller ID

Summary: Amazing radio phone
Review: CID-402 is a multi-functional phone serving radio and clock functions. I bought it few months ago, and it could HELP me alot. I can set the radio as the alarm in order to wake me up in the morning. When I hear the radio,it means I should get up. Also, it has the SLEEP function. I think the phone that attracts me the most is the shape and design of it. I like the design so much. Though it has strong features, it is still designed as a slim phone. It just takes me a little space to place it. Consequently, it is indisputable that CID-402 is a really good phone. You should buy one.

Summary: Conair has no quality control
Review: Conair has a knack for making products that look like exactly what I want. This is what tricks me into buying them. However this is the 3rd Conair Phone product that I have purchased that just flat out didn't work when I took it out of the box. None of the buttons on the unit worked. I was unable to set the clock or do much of anything. Useless. Seek a more quality product elsewhere.

Summary: Best Choice for Alarm Clock
Review: I've been using this product for a year. And I have to say it is one of the best alarm clock / phone that I have used. I was looking for a clock radio first and then a phone, and this product is the best match for this price. The alarm is definitely loud and there is no way that you can sleep in. The time display is very bright and clear. I can see the time clearly without putting on my glasses although it's placed pretty far away from my bed. Another good thing about the clock feature is that it is very easy to adjust the time and the alarm compared to similar products on the market. One little drawback is that the sound quality of the radio is not as good as it could be, although the speakers are very loud. However, it's not my primary concern since I mainly use it as an alarm clock instead of a radio. I do not agree that this product breaks easily. I have dropped it a lot of times and it did not suffer from any damage at all. I have compared this with other products that have similar features.and this is the BEST and CHEAPest radio alarm clock / phone combination.

Summary: Looking for a gift for someone you dislike? Then, buy this..
Review: If you ever wondered what became of engineering grads who were at the bottom of their class, Conair must be their primary recruiter. Don't buy stock in this company because their products are uniformly dreadful. I wish I had paid more attention to the other reviewers' comments before embroiling myself with this lousy clock telephone radio. The set looks pretty, but it is a disaster.Why?

Nothing could be more ineptly designed. It used to be so simple to set the time. Not in this model. You have to go through multiple steps to set it, as though you were at the control panel of a jet aircraft. Why make such an easy function so complicated?

The so-called backlit panel is a joke. They actually used DARK digits so that it is impossible to see the numbers! You need a magnifying glass (literally) to make out anything. To see the display in a dark room, well, forget it. Also, the dim switch has no effect.

The alleged lighted keypad is another joke. A few numbers in the center only are lit. So, to make a phone call when the room is dark, all the digits you are dialing need to be in the middle row if you expect it to be lit. Or, you need to develop braille sensitive fingers to feel your way around the keypad.

It is also impossible to read the display for the radio tuner
or the alarm clock setting.

So, in conclusion, if you are buying a clock radio to be able to use the phone at night, to select a radio station, or even, (heaven forbid!) tell the time, this is not for you. The only award it may ever win is for incredulity that any company would have the nerve to manufacture it.

Summary: FAIR PRODUCT AT A GOOD PRICE
Review: This is a very compact unit that does many functions adequately, but not perfectly. The caller ID works well, with a red blinking LED to let you know when there has been a new call. The sound quality from the radio is fair to poor, but then again this will probably not be used for high-fidelity sound. My main gripes with this unit are as follows: The LCD display is hard to view from across the room or at angles, the alarm time is a pain to reset- you have to go through a long menu just to reset your alarm time- this is hard to do in the dark without waking your sleeping significant other, and the button to turn the alarm on and off is tiny and hard to find when you're barely awake (although the snooze bar is nice and big), and the phone cord is on the short side. However if you are short of space on your night stand, this product will provide a degree of functionality. If you have the room, however, you'd probably be happier with a separate phone and a separate higher-quality clock/radio.

Summary: Excellant product for the price!
Review: This is one of the best alarms I have ever owned. The light has two settings and on high it serves as a night light when I get up in the middle of the night. I also like the fact that it takes up so little space. No more needing two items. This is a great value for the money.

Summary: dimensions
Review: Why isn't there a list that shows the dimensions of the clock radio/phone. It has to fit on a nightstand, so it should have dimensions.
