Conair CID-402 Clock Radio/Telephone with Caller ID Reviews
To see the display in a dark room, well, forget it. You have to go through multiple steps to set it, as though you were at the control panel of a jet aircraft. You need a magnifying glass (literally) to make out anything. The so-called backlit panel is a joke. A few numbers in the center only are lit. They actually used DARK digits so that it is impossible to see the numbers.
The only award it may ever win is for incredulity that any company would have the nerve to manufacture it. It used to be so simple to set the time. tell the time, this is not for you. If you ever wondered what became of engineering grads who were at the bottom of their class, Conair must be their primary recruiter.
Also, the dim switch has no effect. Nothing could be more ineptly designed. Or, you need to develop braille sensitive fingers to feel your way around the keypad. Not in this model. I wish I had paid more attention to the other reviewers' comments before embroiling myself with this lousy clock telephone radio.
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). Why make such an easy function so complicated. or the alarm clock setting. The set looks pretty, but it is a disaster.Why. Don't buy stock in this company because their products are uniformly dreadful.
It is also impossible to read the display for the radio tuner. The alleged lighted keypad is another joke. 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.
This is a very compact unit that does many functions adequately, but not perfectly. However if you are short of space on your night stand, this product will provide a degree of functionality. The caller ID works well, with a red blinking LED to let you know when there has been a new call. If you have the room, however, you'd probably be happier with a separate phone and a separate higher-quality clock/radio. 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. The sound quality from the radio is fair to poor, but then again this will probably not be used for high-fidelity sound.
Useless. I was unable to set the clock or do much of anything. Conair has a knack for making products that look like exactly what I want. 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. This is what tricks me into buying them. None of the buttons on the unit worked. Seek a more quality product elsewhere.
I also like the fact that it takes up so little space. The light has two settings and on high it serves as a night light when I get up in the middle of the night. This is a great value for the money. No more needing two items. This is one of the best alarms I have ever owned.
I bought it few months ago, and it could HELP me alot. CID-402 is a multi-functional phone serving radio and clock functions. Though it has strong features, it is still designed as a slim phone. I think the phone that attracts me the most is the shape and design of it.
I can set the radio as the alarm in order to wake me up in the morning. You should buy one. When I hear the radio,it means I should get up. I like the design so much.
Also, it has the SLEEP function. It just takes me a little space to place it. Consequently, it is indisputable that CID-402 is a really good phone.
