Conair CID400 Clock Radio Phone with Caller ID (Gray) Reviews
Find a different one if you want the caller ID function. Radio reception is ok. This item is just plain disappointing. The phone is adequate, but barely. The caller ID display is impossible to adjust and read.
However, don't buy this awful product. It finally went dead after a year, taking with it the whole alarm system, and making it useless. The radio function has dreadful sound and does not stick to the station. This is the worst telephone clock radio ever designed. When the equipment was removed from the box it stank of chemicals for several days, and a notice said that it would take awhile for the smell to stop. There is a switch that allows it to be bold or dim and the bold provides adequate lighting to see the time. I agree with all the other negative comments in the other reviews except for the LED clock function.
Never bought a product before that had that problem. The keypad is not lit and it is easy to misdial. The phone function is very difficult to use in the dark.
two died in less than a year.
I purchased this phone/radio/clock combo for my mother and after the first few uses, it was returned. Plugging it into an outlet is only needed for the radio, clock and caller ID functions. However, that goes against how this product is supposed to work. You're better off getting a lower priced corded phone and a separate clock/radio instead.
The most glaring problem is that the radio will bleed into your calls. In fact, the phone works best if it's not plugged in; which seems to prevent the radio signal bleeding in. It's a good concept for those who have limited space, but poorly executed. The only thing good I can say about this is that the phone will work if the power goes out.
Those were very loose and could probably snap off with ease after some use. The radio reception itself is horrible and the speaker is not very good. There are buttons on each side of the phone that set various functions like volume control. It isn't very loud, but you can hear talking and music very faintly in the background when the radio is supposed to be off.
Since the dial markings are on either side of this slot, its impossible to see what station your trying to locate. Believe me you won't be satisfied with it.
Avoid this product at all costs. The dial has a narrow vertical slot through which a very dim LED lights.
When using the phone you can hear the radio in the handset even though the radio if off. This product is the absolute pits.
As for the lighted radio dial.forget it. The brightness of the called ID display as depicted in the ad is misleading at best.
The audio is harsh and definitely unpleasant. Additionally, the caller ID display is also hard to see even if the contrast is adjusted to your liking.
