Summary: Awful, disappointing and expensive product. 2007-08-08
Comment: Pay heed to all the comments above from the previous reviewer - also read the epinions comments. They're on target - stay away and save your money - if you want good sound quality for the price I'd go with JVC. May look cool.. but the reception, sound quality and functionality are worthless. Plus extremely frustrating to operate and the instructions are very confusing.
I wonder if Phillipe owns one of these..?

Summary: Form over Function 2006-01-17
Comment: You would think a designer like Philip Starck wouldn't lend his name to a product as poorly conceived and executed as this. While it sure looks cool on the nightstand, it fails at the most basic of functions, not the least of which is telling time. The clock is supposed to be able to communicate with the Atomic Clock and keep absolute time. Suffice it to say that although it had the proper time when I went to bed last night, at 6:30 am this morning my clock read 2:15 am - yes, it changes time randomly and not infrequently. While this malfunction alone should disqualify this product as a "clock" radio, basic usability seals its fate. For some reason, all of the controls are laid out in a 6 x 6 grid of rubberized buttons on the back of the device. That makes it impossible to see the buttons and the face of the clock when you are setting it. Further, the buttons arent easy to tell apart by feel, which makes shutting off the alarm very difficult in the morning - in the haze of sleep differentiating between the buttons on the back of the clock is nearly impossible. Then, when you pick up the clock to look at the buttons, the AC adapter cord falls out (it doesnt "click" into place) and when that happens, the light on the clock automatically turns off! All in all a total disaster from an implementation standpoint. Starck should stick to designing sofas.
