RCA RP3755 AM/FM Dual Wake CD Clock Radio Reviews
Other features still work. I used all the features except the alarm. I used it for my bathroom. CD player just finally gave out after a power surge 2007. Never had any issues with it. I have owned this since 2001.
Would play CD's for maybe 15 minutes then started 'acting up'. $70. I HAD NO IDEA MY HUBBY SPENT THIS MUCH.
Like the previous reviewer mentioned, you can actually 'hear' the player straining to play the CD.then it actually 'skips' (sounds like), eventually stopping play altogether though the CD is still spinning. The radio worked fine but CD player from day one was a mess. Funny, I just hopped on Amazon to look for a new clock radio/CD player and happened to see my exact current model listed.
My husband bought this for me about 2 yrs ago for my birthday so I could use at work. Hadn't used it in over a year til my son was born and recently tried using to play lullaby CD's. What a waste.
I'm an engineer (electronics, that is) and I know I'm over analytical but trust me this is a serious POS. The mechanics of the CD door, and the drive motor are horrific. The buttons aren't intuitive at all - just a bad design - I've already spent more time writing this than the product is worth. That being said after I received this (a gift) it stopped working after about 2 months (lost the receipt of course and I never tried to follow up without the receipt). The only positive I can draw from it is the sound quality which is at least average to slightly above considering the competition and price point. I can see via the ratings that a large majority of users agree - DO NOT BUY. The door sticks, the drive motor was noisy clunky, and the thing skips at the slightest movement. The problem worsened as time went on to where it wouldn't even make it through a 10 second duration without severe skipping.
My second replacement, radio #3, just failed this week after about a year, the LCD readout completely burned out so that you can't read the time, AND, at the same time, the AM radio reception became choppy and would fade in and out. Edit: I've since purchased the Sony Dream Machine. Why did I own three, you ask. My replacement worked for a month, and then again, the CD function ceased to work; it would strain to play the CD (again, standard, purchased, CDs) but never able to play it (you could actually hear the mechanism straining). The item seemed to have all the features I wanted (play CD, listen to weather, radio, or tv stations) and it is compact.
In my opinion, having owned three of this model within about 13 months, this is junk and not worthy of the RCA brand. CD843V clock radio and I'm very happy with itsee all the good reviews. I have owned three of these, and each turned out to be junk. When I bought the first one, I was offered a free replacement service contract by my store for only $15. The first one failed after a couple of weeksit stopped playing standard CDs.
My husband's Sony has been going strong for five years, so I think it's reasonable to expect more. I received this alarm/radio/cd player for Christmas a year ago. The radio reception has always been less than adequate, but the CD player simply stopped working after a year. It probably took half that time to figure out how to make the alarms work.
