Simple and Great.......2007-12-10
I only received this radio/clock this morning so my review may be slightly premature! However, I shall do my best.
The radio is incredibly easy to set up. You don't need to tune anything or even put the time in as it does it all its self. This is the first digital radio i've had the honour of owning and already I love the difference and selection that digital radio offers.
The design of the clock radio is good. Very pleasing to the eye. The display screen is clear although not huge. Whilst listening in digital mode scrolling text runs along the bottom of the screen telling you who your listening to or what track is being played. I can imagine this being quite handy!
The only thing i'd say it misses is a light feature but thats asking a bit since all round it seems great and a bed side light isn't the hardest thing to get hold of!
The reason i've given this product 4 instead of a 5 star rating is cause i don't think i could considering i've only owned it for 12 hours!

Great sound from a compact all-rounder!.......2008-01-01
Pros:
Great sound with little distortion from such a small unit. CD sound is clear and has plenty of bass.
DAB signal is strong and display is very clear.
Handy autotune takes hassle out of homing in on over 50 stations.
Cons:
Remote control sometimes takes a few presses to respond and has limited range.
Buttons on the radio front need a firm press to activate.
Overall a good value for money product that is well designed. Good looks and good sound too. Highly recommended.

Audio System with Dual Alarm AM/FM
Customer Reviews:
excellent.......2008-01-10
I have had my iLuv ipod docking system for two days and i love it! It is easy to use, the ipod fits in the system really well. The remote control makes it all a lot easier. You can alter the light on the system, even turn it off, if that is what you want at night.
The alarm works well, and the volume is independent from the main volume, so you can how it coming on lower to wake you.
All in all i would highly recommed the iPod docking system.
well Impressed.......2007-12-26

The worlds Loudest Alarm Clock.......2007-11-16
I bought this alarm clock radio as a birthday present for my husband and he really liked it. The first morning we used it the alarm nearly blew us out of bed, so that evening we got the manual out to look at making it quieter to find that the lowest setting you can have it on is 10, which isn't very refreshing to wake up to, no gentle wake up call for us. We have stuck with this now for a few weeks but unfortunately it is going to have to go, which is such a shame as the concept of waking up tothe music of your choice from your ipod is great. If you don't want this as an alarm clock but just something to play your ipod from then it's a great buy.
Substandard Product.......2007-11-11
After a promising start, this product failed to deliver. The first unit had a faulty button that didn't work and popping speakers (they only popped after the radio being on for some time). Then, once sent a new unit, the popping started again. Buyer beware!
I Love it........2007-04-07
I've recently bought this model radio alarm, and am very impressed with it. I did consider a few options before I bought, but this one won, and has proved a good choice.
It comes with a host of different docks to allow you to connect most types of I Pod (although it took me a while to find them in the packaging)so there was no problem with connection. The dinky remote control allows you to alter the volume of the unit, skip through songs playing through your I Pod, change between I Pod and radio, and even has a snooze button, just in case you can't reach the unit from your bed!
The unit has two alarms, which you can set to wake you up to buzzer, radio or I Pod, it even has a feature which starts the alarm off on low volume and increases it until it either gets to the pre-set level or you turn it off. The unit also has a "gentle" sleep function that slowly fades the volume to soothe you to sleep.
I've noticed that reviews for other radio alarms often complain about the light from the alarm display being so bright that they keep people awake. However this is not a problem with the iLuv i177, as it has four brightness settings, including no display light at all.
I'd recommend this product to anyone wanting a radio alarm which can wake them to the favourite songs on their I Pod, I'm very happy with mine :)

Does the job.......2008-01-07
Generally a good clock radio. Nice interface and well-built. The sound quality is good enough, though as other reviewers have said its not amazing.
Two minor issues:
1. The iPod interface is disappointing. You can set the iPod to wake you up, but can't choose which playlist etc it will start on from the radio - it will just start from the last thing it was playing.
2. You can't choose radio stations from the presets from the remote control. This makes the whole preset feature a bit useless.
Good idea poorly implemented.......2007-12-27
In line with other comments, yes, it is a little light and the sound is average but as a bed side unit that would be Ok. The one problem with mine is that there is a low whining buzz on all inputs which is clearly audible at low to medium volumes. This is a real failing for a bedside radio as the volume you listen at tends to be low and hence the buzzing very noticable. looking on the net it is clear i am not the only person with this problem.
Have since identified problem occures when you set the display brightness to anything other than fully bright or fully dim. Anything inbetween causes the buzzing
IDock........almost, but not quite.......2007-12-16
I've had a PURE Chronos iDock for about a week. In a nutshell, the unit does what it is supposed to. However, I have some reservations: First, out of the box, the unit feels very light, and hence cheap. This is borne out by the sound quality, which is good, but not as good as other PURE products I have tried. The lightness of the unit also causes a practical problem: if you try to push the buttons on the front with one finger (as one might while in bed) the unit tends to slide backwards. The unit comes with a box containing 5 or 6 adaptors to allow various versions of the ipod to fit into the slot on top of the unit. For amusement, I tried inserting all of these and found that most didn't seat properly in the slot provided. Despite pushing hard, all but one "pinged" back out again. In my case, I have the new iPod Nano (no adapter is provided by REAL), which came with its own adapter from Apple. Oddly, this did fit properly in the slot. Basically, this means that the adapters provided by PURE have not been made properly, although the slot on the unit has. Other minor irritations: 1) There is a large snooze button along the top of the unit. However, turning the alarm OFF is less easy 2) You can asign channels on the DAB radio to presets. However, you can't select a preset channel without pressing several buttons. This means its usually faster just to hop to the channel directly. So why 4 stars? Because it is 90% there, and because it is more than adequate as a bedside unit where the volume will only ever be low-ish anyway. It's small, it looks good and the remore control means that I rarely have to use the buttons on the front. The fact that it comes in white (unlike the alternatives) also means that it will not show up every spec of dust.

A DAB Radio with Alarm but No Clock?.......2007-12-07
As a DAB radio it's fine but as a Clock Radio it is completely flawed:
1) The display is way too bright (why don't they revert to LED rather than backlit LCD?).
2) To set the alarm you need to have the radio on!
3) To cancel the alarm you need to have the radio on!
4) The display is angled upwards so if you're eye level is below the unit the display is not visible: all you can see is the blue glow of the backlighting.
and finally the worst point......
5) When the alarm goes off the full display shows the radio station name so it no longer functions as a clock!!
You lie-in listening to the radio and only news bulletins give you any indication of how late you've slept in.
After one night I took it back to the shop.
